File Details

header.html looks like

<header>
  <h1 class="header-title">blah</h1>
  <img src=www/logo.png alt="blah-Logo" class="header-logo">
</header>

while ui.R is similar to

# Module Management -------------------------------------------------------
box::use(
  shiny[fluidPage, includeHTML, includeCSS, addResourcePath, tags], # not adapted
  <...>
  )

# User Interface ----------------------------------------------------------------
#' @export
ui = function() {
  fluidPage(
    title = 'blah',
    # shiny deploys from app.R root (project)
    includeHTML('www/header.html'), 
   <...>
   )
}

and app.R is somewhat irregular

# Module Management ----------------------------------------------------
box::use(
  shiny[shinyApp, runApp],
  ./shiny/R/server, 
  ./shiny/R/ui
  ) 


# ENTRYPOINT --------------------------------------------------------------
shinyApp(
  ui = ui$ui,
  server = server$server,
  options = list(
      <...> 
    )
  ) |> 
  runApp()

Problem Detail

When running the app, www/logo.png in www/header.html cannot be found. This doesn't change when deleting the www/-prefix. However, when adding addResourcePath(prefix = 'www', directoryPath = './www') above ui() in ui.R the logo gets displayed as expected (as long as the prefix is set). I do not understand where this is in line with addResourcePath() documentation. Same holds for the styles.css.
