Don't known / other
### Is this a regression?
Yes
### Description
Hello,
I have came across a strange issue. I have a CSP policy setup done by the server through response headers. I also have a service worker running for the same page.
When I update the CSP in the server, its getting updated for the index.html, But the service-worker itself is not getting updated with the new CSP. The service worker is throwing CSP errors even tough the index.html and other assets got the CSP updated.
could you please give an way to re-load/update the service worker(ngsw-worker.js), when its own response headers are updated?

Contributor guide
Research direction
The report concerns ngsw-worker.js and CSP response headers; start by reproducing the behavior with Angular 17.1.2 and the stated service-worker setup. Inspect the Angular service-worker update path and verify how changed response headers are handled. Done means the service worker can receive updated CSP headers without requiring an unspecified manual reload.
