+fix: Do not show unnecessary errors during watch rebuilds
+
+When Pages is used in conjunction with a full stack framework, the framework
+build will temporarily remove files that are being watched by Pages, such as
+`_worker.js` and `_routes.json`.
+Previously we would display errors for these changes, which adds confusing and excessive messages to the Pages dev output. Now builds are skipped if a watched `_worker.js` or `_routes.json` is removed.
