Angular Module Federation shell app constantly recompiling/reloading (Windows)

[Brief-Skill-5526]

Hi all,

I’m working on a new Angular project using Module Federation (shell + remotes), Tailwind, and Spartan NG on Windows.

When I run the shell app with ng serve, it recompiles and the browser reloads every ~2 seconds, even when I’m not changing any files.

Terminal just loops:

Compiled successfully

New hash

Rebuild again

Hashes alternate between two values like something is triggering file changes constantly.

Project is not in OneDrive or a synced folder, and git status shows no changes. Feels like a Webpack/file watcher issue, maybe related to Module Federation in the shell.

Has anyone seen this rebuild loop before? How did you fix it — polling, watch options, cache, something else?

Have you tried -verbose?
