Problem
When running both production builds (ng build) and dev server (ng serve) for the same project, the dev server fails to serve federation chunk files. The chunks exist in the cache with -dev.js suffix, but are never copied to the dist folder because the metadata file lists production filenames (without -dev suffix). This causes module loading failures as remoteEntry.json references files that don't exist in the dist folder.
Root Cause
If I am not mistaken, in v3.4.x, the caching system was refactored to use a single metadata file (browser-shared.meta.json) for both dev and production builds. This causes production builds to overwrite the dev metadata:
These 2 small changes should make sure dev and production builds maintain independent metadata with correct filenames.
