Serve static assets from root path, then handle /api/ requests with my worker?

In the event a request does not match a static asset, and there is no Worker script (or that Worker script calls fetch() on the assets binding), not_found_handling determines how Cloudflare will construct a response.

routes = [
  "xyz.example.com/api/*",
  { pattern = "xyz.example.com/*", zone_name = "assets.local" }
]

routes = [
  "xyz.example.com/api/*",
  { pattern = "xyz.example.com/*", zone_name = "assets.local" }
]

I want to serve static assets (stored in public directory on filesystem) for every request except for /api/ requests, which my worker should handle.
