GitUI was close due to an unexpected panic (file: "src/watcher.rs") #2900

Using gitui --watcher causes "GitUI was closed due to an unexpected panic" when a directory belongs to another user.
This happens exclusively when a directory has a different owner. The error does NOT occur with files owned by another user.

Steps to reproduce:

1. mkdir projectX && cd projectX
2. Create a directory with a different owner using one of these options:

• Option A:
  sudo install -m 700 -o 65654 -g 65654 -d mydir
• Option B (the real-world case):
  podman run --rm -v "$(pwd):/workdir" alpine:latest /bin/sh -c 'mkdir /workdir/test && chown 1000:1000 /workdir/test && chmod 700 /workdir/test'

3. Start gitui with the watcher and logs: RUST_BACKTRACE=1 RUST_LOG=debug gitui --watcher 2>/tmp/gitui.log

Expected behavior

GitUI should open normally.

Context:

• OS/Distro + Version: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
• GitUI Version: gitui 0.28.1

Additional context

• Possibly related: GitUI was close due to an unexpected panic #2710 GitUI was close due to an unexpected panic (I think it is an async issue) #2488
• Adding the directory to .git/info/exclude does not prevent the error; it still occurs. (echo -e 'mydir\ntest' >> .git/info/exclude).
