## Executive Summary (TL;DR)
Astro astro@7.2.4. Source highlight: Fixes builds hanging when an image file is malformed

## Bug Fixes
- Fixes builds hanging when an image file is malformed
- Fixes base path stripping to respect path-segment boundaries. With a configured `base` such as `/docs`, a request like `/docs-archive/page` is no longer treated as being under the base, so routing and `context.url.pathname` now agree on the same pathname.
- Fixes `astro build` throwing `TypeError: Missing parameter` for dynamic routes when `build.format: 'preserve'` and `trailingSlash: 'always'` are used together. Stripping the framework-injected `.html` suffix dropped the trailing slash that the compiled route pattern requires, so the route no longer matched itself and its params resolved as empty.
- Fixes `Astro.site` always being `undefined` when rendering components via the Container API, even when `site` is set in `astroConfig`
- Updated dependencies \[`05763a0`, `bc171af`]:
- @astrojs/internal-helpers@0.10.4
