This is caused by at the moment, the page is not reloaded when only an asset change.

@alan-agius4 Would this affect template-only changes in components? After upgrading to 17, I can't seem to trigger a browser refresh when modifying a component HTML template, but modifying a component .ts file seems to work fine.

the problem was something else, I spun up a new angular app to demonstrate the problem and it worked fine. i fixed the problem in my app by copying the new angular.json file into my project.

I was running into this also, and having aot: false in the configuration is what was causing the HTML template modifications to be detected.
