Description
Link to the code that reproduces this issue
https://github.com/r6203/next-catch-all-bug
To Reproduce
- Create a catch-all route
- run
next dev - go to any static route or js chunk or view server logs to see chunks intercepted
Current vs. Expected behavior
Having a catch all route at the root of the app shouldn't intercept next generated assets or static assets.
Expect a working app where each non asset request resolves to the catch-all route but requests to next generated assets (_next/**/*) to resolve to the corresponding files.

Research direction
Start with the reproduction repository at r6203/next-catch-all-bug and run the reported case under both next dev and next start. Trace how the root catch-all route handles requests for static assets and _next-generated chunks. Done means non-asset requests still reach the catch-all route while generated and static assets resolve normally.
