Describe the Bug

I have a pnpm monorepo containing an astro app in one folder and a create-react-app in another. My goal is to build the create-react-app, then build the astro app into a subfolder of the built create-react-app.

For the most part, this works fine. The only problem is that the public folder isn't copied into the outDir destination, so images and css 404 on the deployed site.
