Watch mode not working after upgrade to 0.25.0

Watch mode

Expected Behavior

Use TypeScript's incremental compiler to watch source files for changes and build the docs on change.

Actual Behavior

Does not create docs in the watch mode and exits prematurely.

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Upgraded to typedoc@0.25.0 to allow support for typescript@5.2.2.
2. Checkout https://github.com/HemalPatil/td-bug
3. Do npm install and then npm run watch:docs.
4. Expected to see docs generated in watch mode like it did with typedoc@0.24.8.
5. If you change the typedoc version back to 0.24.8 in the package.json in sample repo and install the dependencies (may have to do force install because of missing typescript peer dependency), this feature works fine.

Have the configs for watch mode changed? Seems unlikely after reading the official TypeDoc docs.

Environment

• Typedoc version: 0.25.0
• TypeScript version: 5.2.2
• Node.js version: 18.17.1
• OS: Ubuntu 22.04 and MacOS 13
