Description

Describe the bug

These files included in the default .gitignore are copied on vite build command.

# OS
.DS_Store
Thumbs.db

Maybe they can be excluded by the adapters? (e.g. adapter-node)

Reproduction
pnpm dlx sv create .

ls -a static
# .
# ..
# favicon.png

touch static/.DS_Store

ls -a static
# .
# ..
# .DS_Store -- added
# favicon.png

pnpm build

ls -a .svelte-kit/output/client
# .
# ..
# .DS_Store -- copied
# .vite
# _app
# favicon.png

Same for adapter-node generated build:

ls -a build/client             
# .
# ..
# .DS_Store
# _app
# favicon.png

Research direction

Start with the static directory copy performed during the pnpm build command and compare the .svelte-kit/output/client and adapter-node build/client outputs shown in the reproduction. Trace whether the copy path belongs to SvelteKit or adapter-node; done means .DS_Store and Thumbs.db are absent from both generated outputs.
