Uncaught error trying to watch directory user doesn't have permissions for

[harleypig]

Issue

I have a secrets directory that is owned by root. I also have an .env file owned by root.

$ l -d  deployarr/{.env,secrets}
-rw-------+ 1 root root  643 Feb 19 00:41 deployarr/.env
drw-------+ 2 root root 4096 Feb 19 00:45 deployarr/secrets/

aider doesn't have a problem with .env in any combination I can think of, but the secrets directory is causing the error below, regardless of if it's in .gitignore or .aiderignore or not.

The prompt is invisible, but I can still enter commands, watched files are still managed, but this pops up after every call.
