Description:
This issue was not specific to app.js. The issue here was that if a user built a project and a file had no changes through our build pipeline we'd try to symlink to the original source file as a build performance enhancement. But if subsequent builds trigger changes on a file (like transpilation would) and we write the new contents to the destination file, and it's a symlink, that modifies the original source file!
The solution here is pretty simple, if the destination file exists, remove it first before writing to it.
