Why isn't the same configuration of NestJs not watching files on a ubuntu noble VM?

I have 2 NestJs projects on Vagrant created VMs. One on a ubuntu/jammy box and a new project in a ubuntu noble VM I created by myself using this procedure.
The project in jammy, watches files correctly. So I copied the exact configuration to the new noble machine. But the project in noble’s VM is not watching files.

I just created a new nestjs project and copied the files from the jammy’s VM to noble’s VM. It has no code in it besides the initial default project.

What am I doing wrong ? does noble has some different configuration than jammy in this aspect ?

Here are the relevant files:

Vagrantfile (commented lines removed):

Vagrant.configure("2") do |config|
  config.vm.box = "nelson777/ubuntu64-noble"
  config.vm.network "public_network", ip: "192.168.0.77", bridge: "enp2s0"

  config.vm.provider "virtualbox" do |vb|
    vb.memory = "4096"
  end

  if Vagrant.has_plugin?("vagrant-timezone")
    config.timezone.value = :host
  else
    puts "ATTENTION: vagrant-timezone plugin not available"
  end
  
  config.trigger.after :up do |trigger|
    trigger.run = {inline: "bash -c 'vagrant fsnotify > output.log 2>&1 &'"}
  end
  
  config.vm.provision "shell", inline: <<-SHELL
    <not relevant configuration specific to my project>
  SHELL

  config.vm.provision "shell", privileged: false, inline: <<-SHELL
    <not relevant configuration specific to my project>
  SHELL
