Can a file (e.g. _redirects ) be moved into the dist folder on npx astro build?

If I have this file within public, it gets put into dist/static.

If I create this file manually, it is overwritten on each build.

This is necessary for Cloudflare Pages redirects.

Thanks!

So I guess this is happening because the Cloudflare adapter sets up the dist/static folder here: https://github.com/withastro/astro/blob/main/packages/integrations/cloudflare/src/index.ts#L48

If _redirects is a special Cloudflare thing maybe it should support that file directly?
