ahhh, found it. issue project beingness built gradle grails plugin when deploying. there 1 liner in docs (gradle grails plugin):

using grails gradle plugin bypasses normal grails application build framework in favor of gradle. consequence of buildconfig.groovy no longer consulted repository or dependency information.

therefore plugins beingness included buildconfig.groovy beingness ignored , beingness built using plugins defined in build.gradle (which did not include asset pipeline plugin). war file beingness created 'grails run-war' different created 'gradle war'. unzipping 2 war files showed difference in structure. moving dependencies buildconfig.groovy build.gradle meant war file built correctly.

thanks @joshuamoore initial hint, that's set me on right track.
