Phoenix different handling of some CSS files
Current Phoenix ships with a nicely working assets handling config, employing esbuild and tailwind. This is all extra cool now that we no longer need webpack and whatnot. I can add my custom, modularised CSS/JS into separate files, import them into wherever I need, etc. and things fly out of the box. Super cool. I have a probably slightly less common need though. I want some CSS files to remain unbundled into the main app.css and just automatically copy them over from assets/css/ to priv/static/assets/ on change/build. What would be the Phoenix idiomatic way to do it?

Phoenix normalized on just having files needing a build system be in assets. Non compiled stuff just lives in priv/static/ directly. But also watchers (in config/dev.exs) as well as the mix assets.* aliases (in mix.exs) can be extended to your likeing if you still wish to plain copy files around.
