build --watch doesn't include HTML assets in multi-page app

See original GitHub issue

Describe the bug

Running vite build normally on my multi-page app includes all the HTML files in the configured outDir.

But when running vite build --watch in seems to only include the JS assets and nothing else.

I saw references in other issues that there’s a change happening to the --watch functionality (#3145). Not sure if this PR addresses my issue or not, but I’m happy to at least test it 😃

I’m also experiencing this or something similar.

The first vite build --watch --emptyOutDir builds all files correctly. After changing any file the rebuild leaves out the css files for me.
