When bun is --hot, Bun automatically updates server handles on subsequent runs so there's no port holding. My initial implementation waited for previous program to finalize but that caused intermissions in-between, similar to what happens when --watch is used.

Since --hot is explicit and opt-in, I think current behavior makes sense. I think even React hot reloading via react-fast-refresh is executing new tree and running cleanup after vdom compare.
