core: Asset bundling ignored when deploy with --exclusive flag with nested stack

[jk2l]

Describe the bug

When I run exclusive flag during deploy, the lambda within nested stack failed to do bundling

Expected Behavior

Assets bundling should executed and bundled

Current Behavior

Asset bundling ignored

Reproduction Steps

Demo example created under https://github.com/jk2l/CDK-Debug.git

if you run cdk deploy -e DEBUG-pipeline-DEV/DEV/debug the lambda lib won't be added into part of the packaging
if you run without -e you should have the lambda dependency from requirements.txt added into lambda folder structure

pre-req for running the demo: you need to put your own account id under cdk.json line 19 (replace the 000000000000)

This issue is also happening to me on Ubuntu 20 with Python 12.

Thank you for the report and PR! We'll take a look when it's ready.

@pahud I have updated the PR, but it is asking for Integration test which there isn't existing one for core. also i am not sure how is it to setup one for this. I think unit test should be sufficient?
