node standalone server does not serve assets (unless you run `astro preview`)

[bholmesdev]

What version of astro are you using?

1.5.0

Are you using an SSR adapter? If so, which one?

@astrojs/node

What package manager are you using?

pnpm

What operating system are you using?

Mac

Describe the Bug

The docs say you can run the node server directly when using standalone mode like so:

node ./dist/server/entry.mjs

However, doing so will only start the base server without serving any static assets.

Interestingly, astro preview will start this same server with static asset serving, though this nuance isn't documented. Curious if this is a bug or just a documentation issue?

resolvePaths in standalone.ts seems to return the wrong path to the client:

astro/packages/integrations/node/src/standalone.ts

Lines 8 to 19 in dd354f8

	function resolvePaths(options: Options) {
	const clientURLRaw = new URL(options.client);
	const serverURLRaw = new URL(options.server);
	const rel = path.relative(fileURLToPath(serverURLRaw), fileURLToPath(clientURLRaw));
	const serverEntryURL = new URL(import.meta.url);
	const clientURL = new URL(appendForwardSlash(rel), serverEntryURL);
	return {
	client: clientURL,
	};
	}

This returns an url relative to standalone.ts / standalone.js: file:///[...]/website/node_modules/@astrojs/node/client/ instead of file:///[...]/website/dist/client/

Hm, this works for the examples/ssr example, i'll investigate what's up with your stackblitz.
