Conversation
Both monitorItem overloads (completion-handler and async) were declared at default internal visibility, preventing callers outside the AMSMB2 module from using SMB2 CHANGE_NOTIFY push notifications. Every sibling API on SMB2Manager — contentsOfDirectory, attributesOfItem, contents(atPath:range:), downloadItem — is declared open, and the doc comments on monitorItem already describe it as part of the public-facing API. This matches the existing pattern and doesn't change the signature or behaviour. Motivation: enables client apps to build push-driven library watchers (e.g. music scanners that react to folder changes without polling) on top of AMSMB2 instead of having to fork the package or vendor a patch.

The test is not passing and that's why it is not open. You can find test here, and it is skipped by now. First we must fix that and then we can expose it. My first impression was that the issue is from libsmb2. |

What
Mark both `SMB2Manager.monitorItem` overloads (completion-handler + async) as `open` so they can be called from outside the AMSMB2 module.
Why
Every sibling API on `SMB2Manager` — `contentsOfDirectory`, `attributesOfItem`, `contents(atPath:range:)`, `downloadItem`, `move`, etc. — is declared `open`. The doc comments on `monitorItem` already describe it as part of the public API ("Monitor file/folder for changes…"), the result type `SMB2FileChangeInfo` and the filter type `SMB2FileChangeType` are both `public struct`, and the test coverage treats it alongside the public surface. The non-public visibility appears to be an oversight rather than a deliberate encapsulation choice.
Being unable to call `monitorItem` means client code can't use SMB2 CHANGE_NOTIFY push notifications without forking the package.
Concrete use case
I'm building a music library scanner that currently polls folders for changes. Moving to CHANGE_NOTIFY eliminates redundant `contentsOfDirectory` round-trips on rescans and lets the app react to new albums being dropped on the NAS within a few seconds. The implementation is ready locally — it just can't reach `monitorItem` behind the `internal` wall.
Change
Two three-character edits, both from default visibility to `open`. Matches the project's access-modifier convention for the rest of `SMB2Manager`'s async + completion-handler API. No behaviour change.
