How can I figure out what’s causing 72 files to recompile when I just change my heex template by one char.

[debug]  Live reload: lib/myapp_web/live/home_live.html.heex
[debug]  Live reload: lib/myapp_web/live/home_live.html.heex

Compiling 72 files (.ex)

I’m looking for strategies to identify what’s going on and fix it. Did any of you ever experience this before?
