Describe the Bug

at first I wrote this next.js 13 appDir without a custom not-found.tsx, leaving the default.
in the build logs we can observe this:

the interesting bit is that the /404 route is compiled under pages app.

the first thing I tried is to create app/not-found.tsx, but it did not serve to replace that pages route, we just see this added:

#15 27.52 Route (app)                                Size     First Load JS
#15 27.52 ┌ ○ /                                      486 B          92.2 kB
#15 27.52 ├ ○ /_not-found                            0 B                0 B
...

Expected Behavior

and this has caught my eye mainly because of a recent commit that gives processes names:

as you can see the standalone build is allocating a next-render-worker-pages and from my understanding just to serve a 404 route.

if that's the case maybe there's a way to avoid spawning extra processes.

Which browser are you using? (if relevant)

No response

How are you deploying your application? (if relevant)

kubernetes, standalone

Refer to: #49796 (comment)

[masterkain]

should be solved by #53523

[timneutkens]

This would not be solved by #53523 fyi.
