PR #55099 updated zoneless behavior to treat all views attached to
`ApplicationRef` as `OnPush`. Put another way, Zoneless change detection
will only refresh view trees that notified Angular of a change. This
generally works as expected but there was one situation where it did
not.
Some views are logically linked to their declaration locations and
should refresh when the declaration refreshes. These views are called
"transplanted views" and work correctly when inserted into another view
container. This change updates the logic to also work when they are
attached directly to `ApplicationRef`.

Grabbing and saving the references to global `setTimeout` and `rAF`
implementations at a certain point in time can be problematic, espcially
in tests. Tests might call something like `jasmine.clock().install();`
and `jasmine.clock().uninstall();`. If the install happens before we
grab the implementation and then the uninstall happens after, our
scheduling function will be broken because it would have saved a reference to
the jasmine `setTimeout` implementation, which would have since been
cleaned up and will throw an error when attempting to access `delayedFunctionScheduler`.
There are other scenarios that may apply, not even just for tests, when
patches are applied and removed to the globals.

This change treats all views attached to `ApplicationRef` as `OnPush`,
meaning that they have to be explicitly marked for check in order to be
refreshed when a tick happens. This prevents "accidentally" refreshing
views which have `Default` change detection as a side effect of running
change detection from an unrelated notification.
In addition, this change helps us achieve one of the big goals of the
project: that we can provide a testing experience which gives developers
more confidence that a component is zoneless-compatible. Because
`ComponentFixture` change detection is run through `ApplicationRef`
instead of `ChangeDetectorRef` when zoneless is enabled, this ensures
that the component under test has correctly been marked for check in
order to be updated. Without this, calling
`ComponentFixture.detectChanges` would allow a test to _force_ change
detection on a view when Angular would have otherwise not known that it
needed to be updated. Calling `ComponentFixture.detectChanges` on a component
which is not marked for check will now omit refreshing component view.

Rework the i18n cleanup behavior to more closely match that of containers. Specifically, we assume that nodes are going to be claimed unless they are part of a branching ICU block.
During hydration, we then track which ICU case was active at serialization time, and which was active during hydration. Any remaining cases that weren't used during hydration are then cleaned up.
PR Close#54823
Add support for hydrating i18n blocks. This is accomplished by serializing information about selected ICU cases for a block during server-side rendering.
During hydration, this data is read and is used to traverse both an AST of the translated message and the DOM, in parallel, to map each LView with an RNode.
Finally, this mapping is used while nodes are being created (either via i18n or their respective instructions) to locate existing nodes.

This commit updates the internal resolve value of the navigation promise

This change updates the approach to the loop in `ApplicationRef.tick`
for allowing state updates in `afterRender` hooks. It is valid to update
state in render hooks and we need to ensure we refresh views that may be
marked for check in these hooks (this can happen simply as a result of
focusing an element). This change ensures that the behavior of `markForCheck`
with respect to this loop does not change while we are actively running
change detection on a view tree.
This approach also has the benefit of preventing a regression for #18917,
where updating state in animation listeners can cause `ExpressionChanged...Error`
This should be allowed - there is nothing wrong with respect to unidirectional
data flow in this case.
There may be other cases in the future where it is valid to update
state. Rather than wrapping the render hooks and the animation flushing
in something which flips a global state flag, the idea here is that
`markForCheck` is safe and valid in all cases whenever change detection
is not actively running.

This commit updates the logic around `Route.redirectTo` to enable using a
function to create the redirect. This function can return a string,
ands acts the same as previous string redirects, or a `UrlTree`, which
will act as an absolute redirect.
To be useful, the redirect function needs access to the params and data.
Today, developers can access these in their redirect strings, for
example `{path: ':id', redirectTo: '/user/:id'}`. Unfortunately,
developers only have access to params and data on the _current route_
today in the redirect strings. The params and data in the `RedirectFn`
give developers access to anything from the matched parent routes as
well. This is done as the same way as param and data aggregation later
on (https://github.com/angular/angular/blob/897f014785578d87bc655ea6ae9e113653960f50/packages/router/src/router_state.ts#L236-L278).
In order to accomplish this, we inherit params and data while
matching, after the `ActivatedRouteSnapshot` is created for the matched
route rather than waiting until the end.
The `RedirectFunction` does not return the full
`ActivatedRouteSnapshot` interface. Some things are not accurately known
at the route matching phase. For example, resolvers are not run until
later, so any resolved title would not be populated. The same goes for lazy
loaded components. The is also true for all the snapshots up to the
root, so properties that include parents (root, parent, pathFromRoot)
are also excluded. And naturally, the full route matching hasn't yet
happened so firstChild and children are not available either.

`UrlTree` from the function)
BREAKING CHANGE: This change allows `Route.redirectTo` to be a function
in addition to the previous string. Code which expects `redirectTo` to
only be a string on `Route` objects will need to be adjusted.

Returning `UrlTree` from a guard was a convenient new feature added to
the `Router`. However, it does not have feature-parity with the old
`router.navigate(...); return false;` pattern. The most common use-case

from the initially attempted navigation. For example, rendering a 404
page when the user does not have access privelages to a route.

Speeds up the retrieval of `DestroyRef` in `EventEmitter` because
`try/catch` is expensive if there is no injection context.

An `EventEmitter` is a construct owned by Angular that should be
used for outputs as of right now.
As we are introducing the new `OutputRef` interface for the new output
function APIs, we also think `EventEmitter` should implement
`OutputRef`— ensuring all "known" outputs follow the same contract.
This commit ensures `EventEmitter` implements an `OutputRef`
Note: An output ref captures the destroy ref from the current injection
context for clean-up purposes. This is also done for `EventEmitter` in a
backwards compatible way:
- not requiring an injection context. EventEmitter may be used
elsewhere.
- not cleaning up subscriptions/completing the emitter when the
directive/component is destroyed. This would be a change in behavior.
Note 2: The dependency on `DestroyRef` causes it to be retained in all
bundling examples because ironically `NgZone` uses `EventEmitter`- not
for outputs. The code is pretty minimal though, so that should be
acceptable.
`EventEmitter` will now always retain `NgZone. This increases the
payload size slightly around 800b for AIO. Note that the other increases
were coming from previous changes. This commit just pushed it over the
threshold.

This commit exposes the new `output()` API with numerous benefits:
- Symmetrical API to `input()`, `model()` etc.
- Fixed types for `EventEmitter.emit`— current `emit` method of
`EventEmitter` is broken and accepts `undefined` via `emit(value?: T)`
- Removal of RxJS specific concepts from outputs. error channels,
completion channels etc. We now have a simple consistent
interface.
- Automatic clean-up of subscribers upon directive/component destory-
when subscribed programmatically.
```ts
@Directive({..})
export class MyDir {
nameChange = output<string>(); // OutputEmitterRef<string>
onClick = output(); // OutputEmitterRef<void>
}
```
Note: RxJS custom observable cases will be handled in future commits via
explicit helpers from the interop.
PR Close#54650
The current behavior of `autoDetect` in `ComponentFixture` does not
match production very well. It has several flaws that make it an
insufficient change detection mechanism:
* It runs change detection for the component under test _after_ views
attached to the `ApplicationRef`. This can cause real behavior
differences that break in production, because tests can observe view
refreshes in the incorrect order (for example, a dialog refreshing
before the component which opened it).
* Because of the above ordering, render hooks registered during change
detection of the fixture views _will not execute at all_ because
`ApplicationRef.tick` already happen.
* It does not rerun change detection on the view tree if there are more
dirty views to refresh after the render hooks complete.
* It effectively hides/swallows errors from change detection inside the
`onMicrotaskEmpty` subscription by not reporting them to the error
handler. Instead, this error ends up being unhandled in the
subscription and rxjs throws these in a `setTimeout`.
All of the above are problematic but this commit _does not_ fix the
final point. Ideally, we can land this in a future change but this
requires additional internal fixes. In the meantime, we have to juggle
special-case handling of the component fixture views within
`ApplicationRef.tick` using some special events to retain current
behavior and avoid errors from the fixture propagating to the `ErrorHandler`.
breaking note for future when isG3 flag condition is removed for v18:
The `ComponentFixture.autoDetect` feature now executes
change detection for the fixture within `ApplicationRef.tick`. This more
closely matches the behavior of how a component would refresh in
production. The order of component refresh in tests may be slightly
affected as a result, especially when dealing with additional components
attached to the application, such as dialogs. Tests sensitive to this
type of change (such as screenshot tests) may need to be updated.
PR Close#54354
One downside of implicit dependency tracking in `effect()`s is that it's easy
to for downstream code to end up running inside the effect context by accident.
For example, if an effect raises an event (e.g. by `next()`ing a `Subject`), the
subscribers to that `Observable` will run inside the effect's reactive context,
and any signals read within the subscriber will end up as dependencies of the
effect. This is why the `untracked` function is useful, to run certain
operations without incidental signal reads ending up tracked.
However, knowing when this is necessary is non-trivial. For example, injecting
a dependency might cause it to be instantiated, which would run the constructor
in the effect context unless the injection operation is untracked.
Therefore, Angular will automatically drop the reactive context within a number
of framework APIs. This commit addresses these use cases:
* creating and destroying views
* creating and destroying DI injectors
* injecting dependencies
* emitting outputs
Fixes#54548
There are likely other APIs which would benefit from this approach, but this
is a start.

Angular has the `@Attribute` decorator that allows for attributes to be injected from the host node, but we don't have an equivalent for the `inject` function. These changes introduce the new `HostAttributeToken` class that can be used to inject attributes similarly to `@Attribute`. It can be used as follows:
```typescript
import {HostAttributeToken, inject} from '@angular/core';
class MyDir {
someAttr = inject(new HostAttributeToken('some-attr'));
}
```
The new API works similarly to `@Attribute` with one key exception: it will throw a DI error when the attribute doesn't exist, instead of returning `null` like `@Attribute`. We made this change to align its behavior closer to other injection tokens.

This commit ensures that any internal render hooks that cause views to
become dirty again first refresh those dirty views before running user
render hooks. This ensures that user render hooks have the most complete
render state possible and stops them from needlessly executing multiple
times. This is important to maintain the goal of the public render
hooks, which is to provide the safest place to place code that depends
on DOM state, especially in ways that may force a browser paint.

Currently, when a `@defer` block contains standalone components that import NgModules with providers, those providers are not available to components declared within the same NgModule. The problem is that the standalone injector is not created for the host component (that hosts this `@defer` block), since dependencies become defer-loaded, thus no information is available at host component creation time.
This commit updates the logic to collect all providers from all NgModules used as a dependency for standalone components used within a `@defer` block. When an instance of a defer block is created, a new environment injector instance with those providers is created.

Adds support for model inputs in the framework. `model()` returns a writable signal that implicitly defines a input/output pair that can be used either in two-way bindings to keep two values in sync or by binding individually to the input and output. When the value of the `model` changes, it will emit an event with the current value.
Furthermore, these changes expand two-way bindings to accept `WritableSignal`. This will make it easier to transition existing code to signals in a backwards-compatible way.
Example:
```ts
@Directive({
selector: 'counter',
standalone: true,
host: {
'(click)': 'increment()',
}
})
export class Counter {
value = model(0);
increment(): void {
this.value.update(current => current + 1);
}
}
@Component({
template: `<counter [(value)]="count"/> The current count is: {{count()}}`,
})
class App {
count = signal(0);
}

This commit introduces the `output()` function and corresponding
runtime code.
In practice, `output()` will defer to `EventEmitter` as outlined in the
RFC, but we are considering limiting the type to a minimal version that
is not coupled with RxJS, less complex, and also has better type safety
around emitting of values.
E.g. currently `EventEmitter.emit` can always be called without
any value, even though the output may be typed to always pass around
values of type `T`. This could cause subtle and confusing bugs.

It was always the intent to have `afterRender` hooks allow updating
state, as long as those state updates specifically mark views for
(re)check. This commit delivers that behavior. Developers can now use
`afterRender` hooks to perform further updates within the same change
detection cycle rather than needing to defer this work to another round
(i.e. `queueMicrotask(() => <<updateState>>)`). This is an important
change to support migrating from the `queueMicrotask`-style deferred
updates, which are not entirely compatible with zoneless or event `NgZone` run
coalescing.
When using a microtask to update state after a render, it
doesn't work with coalescing because the render may not have happened
yet (coalescing and zoneless use `requestAnimationFrame` while the
default for `NgZone` is effectively a microtask-based change detection
scheduler). Second, when using a `microtask` _during_ change detection to defer
updates to the next cycle, this can cause updates to be split across
multiple frames with run coalescing and with zoneless (again, because of
`requestAnimationFrame`/`macrotask` change detection scheduling).
