Notes:

• The sandbox is configured in a way that the code is ran in production mode (npm run build && npm run start)
• The CDN URL used is a BunnyCDN Pull Zone. The pull zone is set to fetch files from the sandbox URL:
  

Describe the bug

After build.publicPath in nuxt.config.ts is changed to any URL, the whole application (pages and assets) will return a 404 error. Changing it to a single folder name, no errors occur.

Additional context

As of my understanding, changing build.publicPath to a CDN URL would make all assets go into the .output/public folder instead of the .output/public/_nuxt folder. The assets are actually there, but navigating to them also returns a 404 error.
