As a workaround, I found I can serve my statics from a non-plugin specific folder using the [--static](https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/custom_templates.html#serving-static-files) CLI flag.

```bash
datasette ~/Library/Safari/History.db \
  --plugins-dir=plugins/ \
  --static assets:dist/
```

It's not ideal because it means I'll change the cache pattern path depending on how the plugin is running (via pip install or as a one off script), but it's usable as a workaround.
