## Bug Fixes
- Fixes an error that could occur after the dev server restarts when using an adapter such as `@astrojs/cloudflare`, where a request would fail with a `500` referencing a missing pre-bundled dependency:
- Refactors path alias resolution to use Vite's native `tsconfigPaths` option
- Fixes an issue where the ClientRouter wipes head elements after page transitions if the `<head>` contains a `server:defer` component.
- Fixes a bug where `<style>` tags from components such as a content collection's `Content` could be silently dropped from the output when an `await` appeared before the component in an `.astro` file's markup.
- Fixes the background dev server failing to start when `astro` is hoisted outside the project's `node_modules` (for example bun workspaces). The background process is now spawned from Astro's own resolved location instead of a path assumed under the project root.
- Fixes prefetch not working for links inside `server:defer` components
