A quick question. I'm deploying Elastic Agent standalone to our Kubernetes environment. I am saving the inputs as individual files in `input.d/` and would like to mount that directory from a secret, since secrets automatically update in a Kubernetes pod when they change.

My question: If I set `agent.reload.enabled: true`, will this trigger a reload when files in this folder are updated?

Thx.
