###### Minor Changes

-   [#17767](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17767) [`ce7c91f`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/ce7c91f77dbd7be03c04bc13f87af9d01fef6cef) Thanks [@astro-factory](https://github.com/apps/astro-factory)! - Adds `--ignore-lock` flag to `astro preview`, allowing multiple preview servers to run simultaneously on different ports. This is useful for E2E testing workflows (e.g., Playwright) that need to run several preview servers at once.

-   [#17818](https://github.com/withastro/astro/pull/17818) [`c0b6581`](https://github.com/withastro/astro/commit/c0b65811dfa0dafa1aa04b7d6d67fd09250ff8c1) Thanks [@florian-lefebvre](https://github.com/florian-lefebvre)! - Adds a `logger` parameter to image services hooks

    Custom image services now receive Astro's runtime logger as an extra argument. Messages logged with it are routed through the destination configured in `logger` and respect your log level, instead of being written straight to the console:

    ```ts
    import type { LocalImageService } from 'astro';

    const service: LocalImageService = {
      // ...
      async transform(inputBuffer, transform, imageConfig, logger) {
        logger.warn(`Could not optimize "${transform.src}". Passing it through unchanged.`);
        return { data: inputBuffer, format: 'png' };
      },
    };
    ```

    Astro's built-in Sharp service now uses this logger for the warnings it emits when it encounters an unexpected or unsupported source format.

    Custom cache providers now receive Astro's runtime logger on the context passed to `onRequest()`. Messages logged with it are routed through the destination configured in `logger` and respect your log level, instead of being written straight to the console:

    ```ts
    import type { CacheProvider } from 'astro';

    const provider: CacheProvider = {
      name: 'my-cache',
      async onRequest({ request, url, logger }, next) {
        logger.warn(`Skipping cache for ${url.pathname} because the response sets a cookie.`);
        return next();
      },
      // ...
    };
    ```

    Astro's built-in `memoryCache()` provider now uses this logger for the warnings it emits when it skips caching a response that sets cookies, and when a background revalidation fails.

    Incremental builds no longer disable caching when `build.concurrency` is greater than `1`.
