Parcel 2: .env files aren't watched for changes

[Banou26]

🐛 bug report

.env files aren't watched for changes, you need to delete the cache to update .env variables.

If the package is from a lerna monorepo, the .env file used is the one at the root of the lerna monorepo and not the sub package.
I don't know if that's the desired behavior but it seems weird to me since it remove configuration isolation from each packages in the monorepo.

may be related to #3917 since both are related to lerna's use and config scope ?

For my previous comment, should i open another issue ?
Actually have both of the behaviors i've described would be best, use both the .env at the top of the monorepo, and use the .env in each sub packages as it'd allow for both shared config, and configuration isolation.
Any opinions on that ?

Yes, it would make sense to have env files in the packages overwrite env files further up.

Partially fixed by #3942. You won't need to clear the cache anymore, but .env files still aren't in the graph so won't be watched in dev mode. Restarting Parcel should at least work though. We'll eventually get the env file in the graph too.
