## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Astro astro@6.2.2. Source highlight: Fixes head metadata propagation in dev for adapters that load modules in the `prerender` Vite environment, such as `@astrojs/cloudflare`. The `astro:head-metadata` plugin previously only tracked the `ssr` environment, so `maybeRenderHead()` could fire inside an unrelated component's `<template>` ele

## Bug Fixes
- Fixes head metadata propagation in dev for adapters that load modules in the `prerender` Vite environment, such as `@astrojs/cloudflare`. The `astro:head-metadata` plugin previously only tracked the `ssr` environment, so `maybeRenderHead()` could fire inside an unrelated component's `<template>` element, trapping subsequent hoisted `<style>` blocks.
- Fixes build crash when processing animated AVIF images. Sharp now gracefully passes through unsupported image formats instead of crashing during the build.
- Fixes scoped styles applying to the wrong element when `vite.css.transformer` is set to `'lightningcss'` and a selector uses a nested `&` inside `:where(...)`, such as Tailwind v4's `space-x-*`, `space-y-*`, and `divide-*` utilities.
- Fixes `data-astro-prefetch="tap"` not triggering when clicking nested elements (e.g. `<span>`, ``, `<svg>`) inside an anchor tag.
- Fix `<style>` compilation failure when importing Astro components via tsconfig path aliases
- Fixed a regression where `.html` was unexpectedly stripped from dynamic route parameters on non-page routes (`.ts` endpoints and redirects). This caused endpoints like `/some/[...id].ts` returning `id: 'file.html'` on `getStaticPaths` to not serve that file because the generated route (`/some/file.html`) would get matched as `id: file` that is not part of the list returned by `getStaticPaths`.
