If a static site has to be deployed to a specific supported platform (e.g. Cloudflare Pages), is it better to:

Use @sveltejs/adapter-cloudflare
Set export const prerender = true in the root +layout.ts file

If using a platform specific adapter fixes immutable assets' caching problem, maybe adding a warning on top of the adapter-static documentation is viable. I have experienced this problem before.
