Begin with the reported project-www/build and www/build contents and the listed Ionic CLI, app-scripts, Node, and npm versions. Reproduce the missing vendor.js, main.js, and main.css errors on Windows 10, then trace the CLI build path to determine why those assets are not produced. Done means the build creates the expected assets and the reported 404s no longer occur.
