Cannot find asset issue during cdk bootstrap

Hello team!

Encountering the below error during the cdk bootstrap step. Not sure if this is a new issue. Help appreciated. Thanks

cd react-ssr-lambda
cd ./cdk
npm install
npm run build
cdk bootstrap - failed here

Error: Cannot find asset at /home/gss/myprojects/react-ssr-lambda/simple-ssr/build

Reproduce the reported steps from the repository root, including npm run build, then inspect cdk/lib/srr-stack.ts at line 44 and cdk/bin/cdk.ts at line 13 where the missing asset is referenced. Compare the expected build output with /simple-ssr/build and run cdk bootstrap again; done means bootstrap no longer fails with the missing-asset error.
