This refactoring expands the QueryList such that we can add onDirty
callback to be invoked when a given query gets marked as dirty during
view insertion / removal. This mechanism is needed for signal-based

This is a refactor commit that moves more query construction / refresh

In some bundling scenarios, there may be local references to `ngDevMode` that need to be kept in sync with the global variable. This becomes hard to impossible if the global is reassigned. This allows setting the global to an empty object instead of `true` and preserve identity during `initNgDevMode`.

Similar to signal-based inputs, we support signal-based queries in JIT
by expecting a decorator to be added. This is a consequence of the
design, given that JIT requires query declaration information before
the class is initialized- but ironically there is no way to collect this
information without instantiating the class.
A JIT transform in the Angular CLI will automatically generate these
decorators for testing.

This commit ensures that libraries can use signal-based queries, and the
partial compilation output will capture their metadata.
The linker is updated to support parsing this.
Two notes:
1. Older linker versions are not capable of parsing this, so the minimum
version for signal-based queries is adjusted when such are used.
2. We only emit `isSignal` metadata for queries when signal queries are
used. This enables libraries to continue supporting older linker
versions, if signal-based queries are not used.

Currently, Angular tries to recognize string locators/predicates for
queries at compile time, and attempts to split multi-selector predicates
into an array as generated output. This is a a performance optimization.
In practice, this works most of the time because the compiler can detect
string locactors/predicates through static analysis.
Though, there are cases where it's not possible. That is when advanced
constructs are used, identifier references etc. that ultimately evaluate
to a string. Currently this breaks with queries and also surfaces now
with signal-based queries.
PR Close#53978
This commit introduces the compiler output generation for signal-based
queries. Signal-based queries will have new creation-mode instructions
and update instructions to advance the current query indices in the
global shared context.
An output like the following is the expected output for signal-based
queries:
```
i0.ɵɵdefineComponent({
viewQuery: function App_Query(rf, ctx) {
if (rf & 1) {
i0.ɵɵviewQuery(ctx.d, _c0, 5);
i0.ɵɵviewQuerySignal(ctx.ds1, _c0, 5);
i0.ɵɵviewQuerySignal(ctx.ds2, _c0, 5);
}
if (rf & 2) {
let _t;
// only change-detected queries need explicit refresh
i0.ɵɵqueryRefresh(_t = i0.ɵɵloadQuery()) && (ctx.d = _t.first);
// we bump up current query index by 2 positions since there are 2 signal-based queries
i0.ɵɵqueryAdvance(2);
}
…
},
…
});
```
Note: For now, the collapsing of multiple advance instructions is not
implemented. This will be a follow-up.
Note 2: A couple of query helpers are now in their own file. This makes
it easier to focus on query-specific compiler code. The new function is
called `createQueryCreateCall`, which is a modified variant of the
existing function that previously only generated query parameters.

Prior to this commit, `TestBed` would require tests call `flushEffects`
or `fixture.detectChanges` in order to execute effects. In general, we
want to discourage authoring tests like this because it makes the timing
of change detection and effects differ from what happens in the
application. Instead, developers should perform actions and `await` (or
`flush`/`tick` when using `fakeAsync`) some `Promise` so that Angular
can react to the changes in the same way that it does in the
application.
Note that this still _allows_ developers to flush effects synchronously
with `flushEffects` and `detectChanges` but also enables the <action>,
`await` pattern described above.

Enables signal inputs for existing Zone based components.
This is a next step we are taking to bring signal inputs earlier to the Angular community.
The goal is to enable early access for the ecosystem to signal inputs, while we are continuing
development of full signal components as outlined in the RFC. This will allow the ecosystem
to start integrating signals more deeply, prepare for future migrations, and improves code quality
and DX for existing components (especially for OnPush).
Based on our work on full signal components, we've gathered more information and learned
new things. We've improved the API by introducing a way to intuitively declare required inputs,
as well as improved the API around initial values. We even support non-primitive initial values
as the first argument to the `input` function now.
```ts
@Directive({..})
export class MyDir {
firstName = input<string>(); // string|undefined
lastName = input.required<string>(); // string
age = input(0); // number
```
PR Close#53872
Whenever a required input is accessed too early in a
directive/component, the signal input will throw an error.
This is necessary so that we can support required inputs
with intuitive typings that do not include `undefined` for
the short period of time where Angular is creating the component and
then assigning inputs later (Angular currently has no way of setting
inputs as part of the class creation when `new Dir()` happens)

This commit changes the `HasTransform` flag to be only concerned with
decorator inputs. This allows us to automatically detect signal input
transforms without reliance on the flag, resulting in less complexity in
the compiler (as outlined in the design doc) and various other places,
while it also allows us to simplify JIT support for signal inputs
because there would be no need to capture the "hasTransform" state in
the decorator so that JIT can generate the according input flags.
`isSignal` will still persist as an input flag to allow for monomorphic
and highly efficient distinguishing at runtime, whether an input is
signal based or not. JIT transform will also need to propagate this
information to the runtime somehow.
PR Close#53808
We are adding internal support for declaring signal inputs via the
`@Input` decorator. This is needed for JIT unit testing, or JIT
applications.
In JIT, Angular is not able to recognize signal inputs due to the
lack of static reflection metadata. Decorators attach their information
on the class- without it needing to be instantiated. This allows Angular
to know inputs when preparing/generating the directive definition. With
signal inputs this is not possible- so we need a way to tell Angular
about inputs for JIT applications. We've decided that this is not
something users should have to deal with, so a transform will be added
in a follow-up that will automatically derive/and add the decorators
for signal inputs when requested in JIT environments.

This commit moves the implementation of the change detection scheduler
used for testing to angular/core along with a (private export) provider function.
Note: Naming of the provider function is absolutely not final (and not

scheme.

This commit removes the testability features that are internal only.
This simplifies the implementation of testability which will need
updates to support zoneless. Those updates will be easier to manage if
the Testability implementation is simpler.
While protractor is indeed officially EOL, we will still need to do some
updates to support teams migrating to zoneless that have protractor
tests.
As far as protractor's own use of `whenStable`, it does not read the

This commit ensures that change detection runs when an `LView` is
removed. Change detection is required because DOM nodes aren't actually
removed until the animation engine flushes and this doesn't happen until
the end of `detectChangesInternal` (`rendererFactory.end`).
PR Close#53812
The `afterRender` hooks currently run after `ApplicationRef.tick` but
also run after any call to `ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges`. This is
problematic because code which uses `afterRender` cannot expect the
component it's registered from to be rendered when the callback
executes. If there is a call to `ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges` before
the global change detection, that will cause the hooks to run earlier
than expected.
This behavior is somewhat of a blocker for the zoneless project. There
is plenty of application code that do things like `setTimeout(() =>
doSomethingThatExpectsComponentToBeRendered())`, `NgZone.onStable(() =>
...)` or `ApplicationRef.onStable...`. `ApplicationRef.onStable` is a
should likely work similarly, but all of these are really wanting an API
that is `afterRender` with the requirement that the hook runs after the
global render, not an individual CDRef instance.
This change updates the `afterRender` hooks to only run when
`ApplicationRef.tick` happens.

Instead of computing the bit input flags at compile-time and inling
the final bit flag number, we will use the `InputFlags` enum directly.
This is a little more code in the compiler side, but will allow us to
have better debuggable development code, and also prevents problems
where runtime flag bitmasks differ from the compiler flag bitmasks.
This is in practice a noop for optimized applications as the enum values
would be inlined anyway. This matches existing compiler emit for e.g.
change detection strategy, or view encapsulation enums.

Consider a snippet like:
```
const x = directiveDef.inputs || EMPTY_OBJ
```
this currently results in `x` being inferred as just `{}`- ending up
turning of potential future assignment checks. This surfaced in the
`DirectiveDefinition` -> `DirectiveDef` conversion.
Note: This has the effect that assigning `EMPTY_OBJ` to a field of
anything would _always_ pass. It's questionable if this rather impacts
type-safety in a more negative way. There seem to be trade-offs in both
ways... Maybe worth considering just using `{}` directly as fallbacks in
some places, and treating this as an unique symbol?!

This commit introduces a new enum for capturing additional metadata
about inputs. Called `InputFlags`. These will be built up at compile
time and then propagated into the runtime logic, in a way that does
not require additional lookup dictionaries data structures, or
additional memory allocations for "common inputs" that do not have any flags.
The flags will incorporate information on whether an input is signal
based. This can then be used to avoid megamorphic accesses when such
input is set- as we'd not need to check the input field value. This also
avoids cases where an input signal may be used as initial value for an
input (as we'd not incorrectly detect the input as a signal input then).
The new metadata emit will be useful for incorporating additional
metadata for inputs, such as whether they are required etc (although
required inputs are a build-time only construct right now- but this is a
good illustration of why input flags can be useful). An alternative
could have been to have an additional boolean entry for signal inputs,
but allocating a number with more flexible input flags seems more future
proof and more reasonable andreadable.

Currently when a base class defines an input with a transform, derived
classes re-defining the input via `@Input`, or `inputs: [<..>]`, end up
inherting the transform due to a bug in the inherit definitions feature.
This commit fixes this. We verified in the Google codebase that this is
an unlikely occurrence and it's trivial to fix on user side by removing
the re-declaration/override, or explictly adding the necessary
transform.
Conceptually, the behavior was quite inconsistent as everything else of
inputs was overridden as expected. i.e. alias, required state etc. The
exception were input transforms. This commit fixes this.

At this point, we have the following pieces in place:
* the input signature is implemented
* the compiler properly parses and recognizes signal inputs
* the compiler supports type-checking of signal inputs
* input signal metadata is passed to partial output
This commit adds a naive runtime solution to distinguishing between
signal inputs and decorator inputs when the `property` instruction
invokes. This is not ideal and non-performant as we introduce additional
megamorphic reads for every property instruction invocation, or if we'd
use `instanceof`, introducing a hard dependency on `InputSignal` and
risking potentially slower detection.
This code exists purely for testing, to enable playing with input
signals in the playground. In a future commit, we will pass around the
input signal metadata at runtime and can perform highly optimized checks
to distinguish between signal or non-signal inputs- when assigning
values.

This commit introduces the runtime `InputSignal` implementation.
Input initializers using `input` or `input.required` will result in
an instance of `InputSignal` to be created.
An input signal extends the signal primtive, with a couple of small
differences:
- it's a readonly signal. There is no public `set` or `update`.
- equality is non-configurable. As per CD semantics, the value is
guaranteed to be different when the `property` instruction attempts
to update an input signal.
- we support a `transform` function, that allows transforming input
values. The transform is called whenever the input is set. An
alternative could have been to follow computed-semantics and call the
transform upon accessing, if dirty.
In the future, we might change this to extend the computed reactive
node, so that we can support computed inputs that do not rely on
continious bound value assignments. See signal based components RFC.

In order to provide a reasonable experience for Angular without Zones,
we need a mechanism to run change detection when we receive a change
notification. There are several existing APIs today that serve as the
change notification: `ChangeDetectorRef.markForCheck`, signal updates,
event listeners (since they mark the view dirty), and attaching a view to
either the `ApplicationRef` or `ChangeDetectorRef`. These operations
are now paired with a notification to the change detection scheduler.
The concrete implementation for this scheduler is still being designed.
However, this gives us a starting point to partner with teams to
experiment with what that might look like.

The version of rxjs used to build the repository has been updated to v7.
This required only minimal changes to the code. Most of which were type
related only due to more strict types in v7. The behavior in those cases
was left intact. The most common type related change was to handle the
possibility of `undefined` with `toPromise` which was always possible with
v6 but the types did not reflect the runtime behavior. The one change that
was not type related was to provide a parameter value to the `defaultIfEmpty`
operator. It no longer defaults to a value of `null` if no default is provided.
To provide the same behavior the value of `null` is now passed to the operator.

When a view has the `Dirty` flag and is reattached, we should ensure that it is
reached and refreshed during the next change detection run from above.
In addition, when a view is created and attached, we should ensure that it is reached
and refreshed during change detection. This can happen if the view is
created and attached outside a change run or when it is created and
attached after its insertion view was already checked. In both cases, we
should ensure that the view is reached and refreshed during either the
current change detection or the next one (if change detection is not
already running).
We can achieve this by creating all views with the `Dirty` flag set.
However, this does happen to be a breaking change in some scenarios.
The one identified internally was actually depending on change detection
_not_ running immediately because it relied on an input value that was
set using `ngModel`. Because `ngModel` sets its value in a `Promise`, it
is not available until the _next_ change detection cycle. Ensuring
created views run in the current change change detection will result in
different behavior in this case.
Making option the default is the solution to #52928. That will have to
wait for a major version.
