## Roblox Studio Plugin
With the protocol version 1 change, the Roblox Studio plugin got a lot simpler. Notably, the plugin doesn't need to be aware of anything about the filesystem's semantics, which is super handy.

## Bi-directional syncing
Quenty laid out a good way to handle bi-directional syncing.
When receiving a change from the plugin:
1. Hash the new contents of the file, store it in a map from routes to hashes
2. Write the new file contents to the filesystem
3. Later down the line, receive a change event from the filesystem watcher
4. When receiving a change, if the item is in the hash map, read it and hash those contents
5. If the hash matches the last noted hash, discard the change, else continue as normal
