Live reload don't seem to work with make dev
Hello,
I'm a developer and wanted to make some PR.
I had some problem to start the project on MacOS. adding custom UID and GID to the postgres docker did the trick (and adding to .env btw) and started with make dev
but now, when I modify some page on svelte, the live reload doesn't seem to work (same on the backend side).
I clicked on
w in the console but there a panic error :

Maybe try reinstall docker?
it's my work computer, and work with docker every day and everything work nicely.
I use rancher desktop, maybe this is linked, I need to deep dive a little bit if you don't know the answer.
Thank for your help
ok now I don't have error when I click on w, just it's not implemented.
