📚 Description

There is a fundamental disconnect between the vite expectation of a single public directory and Nuxt layers + Nitro support for additional custom public directories.

We previously implemented support for public directories (ie. without a custom baseURL) but this PR takes full control over public assets and bypasses the vite pipeline entirely for them.
