When in watch mode (`ng serve`/`ng build --watch`), Webpack's `copy-webpack-plugin` is currently used to implement the project `assets` option within `angular.json`. Files specified by the `assets` option are intended to be copied to the output unmodified and in their original form. However, if any JavaScript assets were present they previously would have been unintentionally subject to their respective optimization plugins which would result in modified asset outputs and the potential for breakage of the assets. `ng build` outside of watch mode uses a direct file copy with copy-on-write (where supported) to process assets and is therefore not affected by this situation. When the `copy-webpack-plugin` is used, it adds a `copied` flag to an asset's info metadata. This flag is now used to exclude all such copied JavaScript assets from optimization.
