🔧 Bug Fixes & Patches (4)
- Fixes `Astro.cache` being `undefined` when a custom 404 or 500 page is rendered by the error handler, for example after a request to an API route with an HTTP method the route doesn't export
- Fixes `astro add` removing existing `allowBuilds` approvals from `pnpm-workspace.yaml` with pnpm v11.0–v11.22
- Refactors internal bundling and code transforms to use Vite's Oxc-based `transformWithOxc` and Rolldown instead of esbuild. These packages no longer depend on esbuild directly.
- Fixes the `glob()` loader not reloading changed files in dev when the pattern starts with an extglob such as `!(drafts)/**/*.md`
