This commit introduces an experimental version of a new signal-based forms API for Angular. This new API aims to explore how signals can be leveraged to create a more declarative, intuitive, and reactive way of handling forms.
The primary goals of this new signal-based approach are:
* **Signal-centric Design:** Place signals at the core of the forms experience, enabling a truly reactive programming model for form state and logic.
* **Declarative Logic:** Allow developers to define form behavior, such as validation and conditional fields, declaratively using TypeScript. This moves logic out of the template and into a typed, testable schema.
* **Developer-Owned Data Model:** The library does not maintain a copy of data in a form model, but instead read and write it via a developer-provided `WritableSignal`, eliminating the need for applications to synchronize their data with the form system.
* **Interoperability:** A key design goal is seamless interoperability with existing reactive forms, allowing for incremental adoption.
* **Bridging Template and Reactive Forms:** This exploration hopes to close the gap between template and reactive forms, offering a unified and more powerful approach that combines the best aspects of both.
This initial version of the experimental API includes the core building blocks, such as the `form()` function, `Field` and `FieldState` objects, and a `[control]` directive for binding to UI elements. It also introduces a schema-based system for defining validation, conditional logic, and other form behaviors.
Note: This is an early, experimental API. It is not yet complete and is subject to change based on feedback and further exploration.

This commit updates provider definitions that relied on the `deps` array
with `new Optional()` and `new SkipSelf()` to instead use the modern
`inject(..., { optional: true, skipSelf: true })` API.
Previously:
deps: [[KeyValueDiffers, new SkipSelf(), new Optional()]]
Now:
const parent = inject(KeyValueDiffers, { optional: true, skipSelf: true });
**Bundle size reduction**: `Optional` and `SkipSelf` are runtime values
created by `makeParamDecorator()`. Even in production builds, esbuild
and other bundlers must keep their factory code because they are
referenced with `new Optional()` / `new SkipSelf()`. With `inject()`,
those classes are no longer referenced, allowing them and the
`makeParamDecorator` scaffolding to be tree-shaken when unused.
As a result, production bundles can drop both `Optional`, `SkipSelf`, and
their supporting factory code when not used elsewhere, reducing code size
while keeping the same behavior.

When toggling visibility on an element over and over, the enter animations were supposed to be cancelled and then the classes removed. There was a race condition happening that resulted in the cancelled animation being the leave animation. Rather than using the animation.cancel functionality, it's safer to just remove the enter classes.

This commit updates the devtools step by disabling the package manager cache. This change is necessary because Cypress downloads its binary to a cache directory during installation, which requires a post-install script. However, when the cache is hit this is skipped.
This update also disables `pnpm install` in the Cypress action to avoid a redundant installation step. And adds a seperate cache for the downloaded Cypress binary.
See: https://docs.cypress.io/app/get-started/install-cypress#pnpm-configuration

Within our module.bazel file when describing the version of typescript to use for rules_ts, we use ts_version instead of ts_version_from to prevent our package.json file from being
part of the set of files used to calculate the sha for the lock file. Any unrelated change to the version of the typescript file would end up causing our lockfile to be out of date.
This amount of churn has proven to be too much for our current setup. We instead now test to validate the versions defined in the package.json and MODULE.bazel files match.

Annotate the `new Version(...)` call with `/* @__PURE__ */` to signal to
optimizers that the constructor is side-effect free.
Without this hint, bundlers such as Terser or ESBuild may conservatively
retain the `VERSION` instantiation even when unused. With the annotation,
the constant can be tree-shaken away in production builds if not referenced,
reducing bundle size.

This commit prevents lazy injection of the internal `ErrorHandler` from a destroyed injector, which would otherwise result in a secondary "destroyed injector" error.
The `handleUncaughtError` function is used in a wrapped event listener that invokes the `ErrorHandler` if the listener throws. A simple case in a micro-frontend application:
```ts
onNavigationToAnotherApp() {
this.appRef.destroy();
do_some_stuff_ie_loggin_that_may_throw();
}
```
If the function throws an error, Angular attempts to inject the `ErrorHandler` from a destroyed injector.

When declaring directives, the standalone flag is set to true by default in current Angular versions.
The docs for the directive decorator should correctly explain the default behavior, while still mentioning when to set it to false.

The 4 second removal timeout was applying in all cases, but it should only actually apply to the situation where the event binding syntax is used for animate.leave. This ensures that's the only case in which it'll apply.

signalGraphEnabled was previously passed down the component tree.
This change refactors the logic to use the settings service instead,
which already holds the value and allows sharing it across components.
