Description
Current Behavior
Since v21 Vite preview mode with --watch argument doesn't work anymore. This used to rebuild the project automatically on file change.
Related PR - #14412
Same happens with "useInferencePlugins": false
Also tried adding "watch": true to the buildTarget explicitly but it hangs the preview task as the build task does not end. (though this case is the same as in v20, hence why I've always passed it on the CLI).
npx nx preview mfe1 --watch
> nx run @test-workspace-nx-21.2.0/mfe1:build [existing outputs match the cache, left as is]
> nx run @test-workspace-nx-21.2.0/mfe1:preview

Expected Behavior
