The image size isn't changing when viewport changes (Image/Picture built-in component)

If this issue only occurs in one browser, which browser is a problem?

No response

Describe the Bug

Both Image and Picture built-in components are generating the img tag with static width and height, which unables the browser to render the intrinsic size of the image when using "widths" and "sizes" properties

What's the expected result?

The rendered image size should be the same as the intrinsic size and should switch sizes as normally does when viewport's width changes

How do you believe this should be instead? The current markup is in line with the recommendation regarding avoiding CLS on responsive images, ex https://web.dev/articles/optimize-cls#responsive-images

Other sources I'm finding also mention adding the dimensions even when using sizes and srcset for images that all have the same aspect ratio (which is always the case in our Picture component)

I do believe there is no need to set width and height when working with srcset, as you can see here https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/HTML/Multimedia_and_embedding/Responsive_images#resolution_switching_different_sizes

When I removed those attributes through devtools > inspect, it worked as expected.

The example in that section has CLS. Ideally we have a solution without CLS, which width and height seems to be in the article I linked. Maybe just using aspect-ratio would work? In which case, you may be able to make it work like you'd expect using CSS

The point of this issue is that the Image and Picture built-in component does not work as expected, even following the example on the docs -> https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/images/#widths

The rendered image does not changes its size when viewport changes. I fixed this removing both width and height attributes.

I still believe that when working with "srcset" and "sizes" there is no need to provide those attributes (width/height).

I understand that, but I don't know how to fix it in a way that doesn't create CLS. I can't just remove the attributes and let every Astro website lose 20 points on Lighthouse every time they use an image with multiple sizes.

My suggestion right now would be to use CSS to do this, using width: auto; height: auto; on the image.
