The PackageChangesWatcher was unaware of single-package mode, causing PackageGraphBuilder to fail with 'no workspaces found' when building the file watcher's internal package graph. Thread the single_package flag from the watch client through to the watcher so it correctly builds the graph and loads turbo.json for non-monorepo projects. Closes #9531
In single-package mode, all files belong to the root package and all tasks are root tasks. The has_root_tasks() check was filtering out root package change events because single-package turbo.json tasks aren't //-prefixed, causing file changes to never trigger re-runs. Also fixes rustfmt formatting in test helper.

Args::parse() only set single_package on Command::Run, never on Command::Watch. In the normal shim flow this was masked because set_run_flags compensates via repo_state, but with --skip-infer (or any path where repo_state is None) the flag was silently lost.

Summary
Fixes #9531
turbo watchcrashed in single-package workspaces because thePackageChangesWatcher(the in-process file watcher that powers watch mode) was completely unaware of single-package mode:PackageGraphBuilderdefaulted to multi-package mode, tried to discover workspace globs, and failed with"no workspaces found"— silently killing the watcher.UnifiedTurboJsonLoader::workspace()was always used instead of::single_package(), which loads turbo.json differently for non-monorepo projects.has_root_tasks()checks for//-prefixed task names, which don't exist in single-package turbo.json files. In single-package mode, the root is the only package, so all change events must propagate.How to test
