Blazor Web App & dotnet publish - Conflicting assets with the same target path

I am experiencing an error with dotnet publish. I understand the problem - two projects are copying files to the same place in the output. What I don't understand is the fix. I have a dotnet 8 Blazor web app consisting of several projects (hierarchy shows dependency chain) -

• Web (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">) <--- the artifact being published
  • Web.Client (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.BlazorWebAssembly">) <-- one of the offenders
    • Web.Admin.Client (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.BlazorWebAssembly">) <-- one of the offenders
    • Web.Admin.Shared (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Razor">)
    • Web.ABC.Client (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.BlazorWebAssembly">) (there are several of these)
    • ApplicationClassLib (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk">).
• Web.Admin (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">) (Deployment Artifact)
• Web.ABC (<Project Sdk="Microsoft.NET.Sdk.Web">) (Another Deployment Artifact)

I have added ErrorOnDuplicatePublishOutputFiles to Web.Client and I have added the following properties to Web.Admin.Client. I encountered this error before and adding StaticWebAssetBasePath to each of the Web.*.Client apps fixed it then. I have deleted obj and bin folders from every project and restarted Visual Studio as well. I even updated dotnet and the whole tool chain (including Visual Studio) just in case. I need the dependencies to be available at runtime - I'm not sure if removing the file from the output is the correct direction.

<PropertyGroup><StaticWebAssetBasePath>Web.Admin.Client</StaticWebAssetBasePath><ErrorOnDuplicatePublishOutputFiles>false</ErrorOnDuplicatePublishOutputFiles></PropertyGroup>

The publish command - note that Visual Studio's publish fails with the same (or very similar) error.

 dotnet publish 'solution\Web\Web.csproj' --no-restore --runtime:win-x64 --output:publish/Web --configuration:Local

I am working to create a minimum reproducible example but as of yet have not succeeded -- I am very confused and going bald. Thank you in advance for any and all help -- it is appreciated.
