fix: use context.Background() for watcher goroutine lifetime (#63)
All checks were successful
check / check (push) Successful in 31s

## Summary

The `OnStart` hook previously derived the watcher's context from the fx startup context (`startCtx`) via `context.WithoutCancel()`. While `WithoutCancel` strips cancellation and deadline, using `context.Background()` makes the intent explicit: the watcher's monitoring loop must outlive the fx startup phase and is controlled solely by the `cancel` func called in `OnStop`.

## Changes

- Replace `context.WithCancel(context.WithoutCancel(startCtx))` with `context.WithCancel(context.Background())`
- Add explanatory comment documenting why the watcher context is not derived from the startup context
- Unused `startCtx` parameter changed to `_`

Closes #53
