---

- **fixed** — Component styles rendered from content entries no longer remain stale until a second save when an adapter uses Astro's fallback development environment
- **fixed** — Incremental builds no longer drop optimized images for cached pages when using a collectStaticImages prerenderer
- **fixed** — Limit concurrent image file reads to avoid exhausting OS file descriptors and retry transient I/O errors with backoff to fix intermittent ImageNotFound errors during build on projects with many images
- **fixed** — Apply prerenderConflictBehavior to content collection duplicate ID warnings in the glob() and file() loaders
- **fixed** — Fonts API no longer breaks experimental.incrementalBuild caching by embedding a build-local server port in generated code
- **fixed** — Incremental builds no longer become prohibitively slow for sites with many pages or content entries that share a large dependency graph
- **fixed** — Files in directories whose names start with pages are no longer treated as page routes
- **fixed** — astro dev now starts successfully after a Docker container restart when an unrelated process reuses the PID from a persisted lock file

###### Patch Changes

-   [#17611](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17611) [`9bc3207`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/9bc3207fdbcdf8991596d0caeb66b707405aad07) Thanks [@thelazylamaGit](https://github.com/thelazylamaGit)! - Fixes component styles rendered from content entries remaining stale until a second save when an adapter uses Astro's fallback development environment

-   [#17634](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17634) [`2267eee`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/2267eeec7e88a47013465682d5278d7ea9253e5b) Thanks [@astrobot-houston](https://github.com/astrobot-houston)! - Fixes incremental builds dropping optimized images for cached pages when using a `collectStaticImages` prerenderer (e.g. `@astrojs/cloudflare` with compile-time image optimization)

-   [#17650](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17650) [`4cdf128`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/4cdf12873970dc542a18188fca1a9289ca1b0368) Thanks [@astrobot-houston](https://github.com/astrobot-houston)! - Fixes intermittent `ImageNotFound` errors during build on projects with many images. The build now limits concurrent image file reads to avoid exhausting OS file descriptors (EMFILE) and retries transient I/O errors with backoff. Non-transient errors are no longer silently swallowed.

-   [#17683](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17683) [`2378221`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/23782215a3f49d205b3576280e788d7c714c6d0f) Thanks [@astrobot-houston](https://github.com/astrobot-houston)! - Fixes `prerenderConflictBehavior` not applying to content collection duplicate ID warnings in the `glob()` and `file()` loaders. Setting it to `'error'` now throws during content sync, and `'ignore'` suppresses the warning.

-   [#17659](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17659) [`90c6ea4`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/90c6ea4641e2ca9362c4ab0ea7a8590d07bd1868) Thanks [@astrobot-houston](https://github.com/astrobot-houston)! - Fixes the Fonts API breaking `experimental.incrementalBuild` caching by embedding a build-local, randomly-assigned server port in generated code used for the dependency hash

-   [#17630](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17630) [`fd1d9ee`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/fd1d9ee3f4a9c196153090d0523668febb1b6024) Thanks [@ericclemmons](https://github.com/ericclemmons)! - Fixes incremental builds becoming prohibitively slow for sites with many pages or content entries that share a large dependency graph.

-   [#17690](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17690) [`93beecc`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/93beeccc518d19caee01b0fa72f7e6244cb9288c) Thanks [@NgoQuocViet2001](https://github.com/NgoQuocViet2001)! - Prevents files in directories whose names start with `pages` from being treated as page routes

-   [#17671](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17671) [`09f0dc7`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/09f0dc7f90ef92f8520e13b7ba130e4b8aad31bd) Thanks [@tarikermis](https://github.com/tarikermis)! - Fixes `astro dev` refusing to start after a Docker container restart when an unrelated process reuses the PID from a persisted lock file. Astro now checks the process command across platforms, so stale lock files are cleaned up and `--force` does not signal the unrelated process.
