refresh breaks Command.assets

[RafalSumislawski]

What happened?

Give a code that attempts to use the assets output of a Command resource:

import * as command from "@pulumi/command";

new command.local.Command(`test-file`, {
    create: "touch test.txt",
    assetPaths: ["test.txt"],
}).assets.apply(assets => {
    assets
});

running a sequence of

pulumi up
pulumi refresh
pulumi up

Leads to a Invalid asset encountered when unmarshaling resource property error.

This is most likely related to the fact that running a refresh removes the path property of the asset

Before:

                        "assets": {
                            "test.txt": {
                                "4dabf18193072939515e22adb298388d": "c44067f5952c0a294b673a41bacd8c17",
                                "hash": "e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855",
                                "path": "/Users/rsum/pulumi/main/test.txt"
                            }
                        },

After:

                        "assets": {
                            "test.txt": {
                                "4dabf18193072939515e22adb298388d": "c44067f5952c0a294b673a41bacd8c17",
                                "hash": "e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855"
                            }
                        },

Thanks for the bug report @RafalSumislawski. I think the root cause here is pulumi/pulumi#17131 I'll keep this open as a pointer for other users, but I suggest, upvoting and adding any additional context on that ticket.
