Adds dedicated `LocationStrategy` subclasses: `NoTrailingSlashPathLocationStrategy` and `TrailingSlashPathLocationStrategy`.
The `TrailingSlashPathLocationStrategy` ensures that URLs prepared for the browser always end with a slash, while `NoTrailingSlashPathLocationStrategy` ensures they never do. This configuration only affects the URL written to the browser history; the `Location` service continues to normalize paths by stripping trailing slashes when reading from the browser.
Example:
```typescript
providers: [
{provide: LocationStrategy, useClass: TrailingSlashPathLocationStrategy}
]
```
This approach to the trailing slash problem isolates the changes to the
existing LocationStrategy abstraction without changes to Router, as was
attempted in two other options (#66452 and #66423).
From an architectural perspective, this is the cleanest approach for several reasons:
1. Separation of Concerns and "Router Purity": The Router's primary job is to map a URL structure to an application state (ActivatedRoutes). It shouldn't necessarily be burdened with the formatting nuances of the underlying platform unless those nuances affect the state itself. By pushing trailing slash handling to the LocationStrategy, you treat the trailing slash as a "platform serialization format" rather than a "router state" concern. This avoids the "weirdness" in #66423 where the UrlTree (serialization format) disagrees with the ActivatedRouteSnapshot (logical state).
2. Tree Shakability: If an application doesn't care about trailing slashes (which is the default "never" behavior), they don't pay the cost for that logic. It essentially becomes a swappable "driver" for the URL interaction.
3. Simplicity for the Router: #66452 (consuming the slash as a segment) bleeds into the matching logic, potentially causing issues with child routes or wildcards effectively "eating" a segment that should be invisible. This option leaves the matching logic purely focused on meaningful path segments by continuing to strip the trailing slash on read.
4. Consistency with Existing Patterns: Angular already uses LocationStrategy to handle Hash vs Path routing. Adding "Trailing Slash" nuances there is a natural extension of that pattern—it's just another variation of "how do we represent this logic in the browser's address bar?"

This commit ensures the Document used by `FakeNavigation` is the one
passed in the constructor rather than the global `document`, which may
be different.
This commit introduces a highly requested `trailingSlash` configuration option to the Angular Router, allowing developers to control how trailing slashes are handled in their applications. The options are:
- 'always': Enforces a trailing slash on all URLs.
- 'never': Removes trailing slashes from all URLs (default).
- 'preserve': Respects the presence or absence of a trailing slash as defined in the UrlTree.
This change replaces all remaining occurrences of `typeof ngDevMode !== undefined`
with the correct `typeof ngDevMode !== 'undefined'` form. This aligns the codebase
with JavaScript typeof semantics and maintains consistency with other Angular code.
Previously, the XSRF interceptor only added the XSRF token to requests with relative URLs.
This commit updates the interceptor to also add the token to requests with absolute URLs, provided they match the current origin.
The XSRF interceptor previously failed to detect protocol-relative URLs (starting with `//`) as absolute URLs. This allowed requests to such URLs to include the XSRF token, potentially leaking it to external domains.
This change updates the interceptor to correctly identify protocol-relative URLs as absolute and exclude them from receiving the XSRF token.
Prior to this commit, attempting to resolve a `ChangeDetectorRef` after views or app have been destroyed would result in an error. In this commit, we clean up listeners once the view is destroyed, before the placeholder loads or fails to load.
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 adds a (private) provider for integrating with the browser Navigation API.
This provider ensures that interactions with the `Location` service
use the underlying platform navigation rather than the history and
location APIs.

This commit changes `Resource.hasValue()` and its derived types to improve narrowing
of resources whose generic type either does not include `undefined` (i.e. when a default
value has been provided) or when the generic type is `unknown`. This fixes the undesirable
behavior where `hasValue()` would cause the `else` branch of an `hasValue()` conditional
to have a narrowed type of `never`, given that the `hasValue()`'s type guard covers the
entire type range already (meaning that the type in the else-branch cannot be inhabited
in the type system, yielding the `never` type).
By making the `hasValue()` method only a type guard when the generic type includes `undefined`
these problems are avoided.
