Where it refuses work

WatchMode stops the work with an early return when !filename.
WatchMode stops the work with an early return when parts.some((p) => this.excludeDirs.includes(p)).
WatchMode stops the work with an early return when !this.matchesIncludePatterns(filename).
WatchMode stops the work with an early return when !ext.

When something fails

WatchMode handles failure in 3 places: it turns it into a return value in 2, and discards it silently in 1. A failure discarded silently leaves no trace for whoever debugs this later.
