Context
dotnet-watch does not set environment variables correctly causing browser refresh to stop working after restarting a web project due to rude edit. The issue only occurs in Aspire orchestrated web projects, not in standalone web projects.
Customer impact
Web pages are not refreshed when further changes are made to the web project, after restarting due to rude edit, which greatly diminishes the value of Hot Reload.
Changes made
Apply the necessary environment variables to the restarted process.
Testing
Manual testing to confirm that the changes fix the issue.
Risks
Negligible. The fix is simple.
