According to the HTML specification most attributes are defined as strings, however some can be interpreted as different types like booleans or numbers. [In the HTML standard](https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/common-microsyntaxes.html#boolean-attributes), boolean attributes are considered `true` if they are present on a DOM node and `false` if they are omitted. Common examples of boolean attributes are `disabled` on interactive elements like `<button>` or `checked` on `<input type="checkbox">`. Another example of an attribute that is defined as a string, but interpreted as a different type is the `value` attribute of `<input type="number">` which logs a warning and ignores the value if it can't be parsed as a number.
Historically, authoring Angular inputs that match the native behavior in a type-safe way has been difficult for developers, because Angular interprets all static attributes as strings. While some recent TypeScript versions made this easier by allowing setters and getters to have different types, supporting this pattern still requires a lot of boilerplate and additional properties to be declared. For example, currently developers have to write something like this to have a `disabled` input that behaves like the native one:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input()
get disabled() {
return this._disabled;
}
set disabled(value: any) {
this._disabled = typeof value === 'boolean' ? value : (value != null && value !== 'false');
}
private _disabled = false;
}
```
This feature aims to address the issue by introducing a `transform` property on inputs. If an input has a `transform` function, any values set through the template will be passed through the function before being assigned to the directive instance. The example from above can be rewritten to the following:
```typescript
import {Directive, Input, booleanAttribute} from '@angular/core';
@Directive({selector: 'mat-checkbox'})
export class MatCheckbox {
@Input({transform: booleanAttribute}) disabled: boolean = false;
}
```
These changes also add the `booleanAttribute` and `numberAttribute` utilities to `@angular/core` since they're common enough to be useful for most projects.

When an embedded view injector is present anywhere above a node in the tree, the `Self` flag was effectively ignored.

When binding an array to `class` like `[class]="['foo', 'bar']"`, the runtime treats it the same as a literal binding with all the values being `true`, e.g. `{foo: true, bar: true}`. While object literals can only have string keys, arrays can have any value which can lead to errors if the array contains non-string values.
These changes add some logic to stringify the keys and ignore invalid ones.

Currently, the `ViewRef.rootNodes` output is missing anchor (comment) nodes for inner `ViewContainerRef`s,
when an achor node was created for that instance of a `ViewContainerRef` (which happens in all cases except

Previously the signals implementation maintained separate interfaces for
`Producer` and `Consumer` nodes, with implementers choosing to implement
one or both interfaces. Operations defined against those interfaces were
exposed as importable functions to be called with the object implementing
the relevant contract as the first argument.
This commit refactors the implementation to merge both abstractions into a
single `ReactiveNode` base class, which represents both producers and
consumers in the graph. Implementers choose to interact with a subset of the
`ReactiveNode` API depending on their role in the graph. Operations are now
available as protected methods on the base class, instead of separate
functions.

This commit adds an assertion function to the public API, which allows

This commit implements a simple tracker of the pending tasks during initial rendering. The class allows adding and removing tasks from the set. The class also exposes a promise that gets resolved once the last task is removed.
This tracker is needed to keep track of ongoing processes like Router navigation (and potentially HTTP requests) and acts as a signaling mechanism to SSR and hydration that the application is in the "stable" state and a serialization can be performed.
This class would also act as a future replacement for the `ApplicationRef.isStable` for zoneless applications.

Currently we are unsafely unquoting CSS values which in some cases causes valid values to become invalid and invalid values to become valid.
Example:
```html
<div style="width:"1px;""></div>
```
In the above case, `width` has an invalid value of `"1px"`, however the compiler will transform it to `1px` which makes it valid.
On the other hand, in the below case
```html
<div style="content:"foo""></div>
```
`content` has a valid value of `"foo"`, but since the compiler unwraps it to `foo` it becomes invalid. For correctness, we should not remove quotes.
```js
const div = document.createElement('div');
div.style.width='"1px"';
div.style.content='foo';
div.style.width; // ''
div.style.content; // ''
div.style.width='1px';
div.style.content='"foo"';
div.style.width; // '1px'
div.style.content; // '"foo"'

This commit updates the `LView` in Angular to be a `Consumer` of
signals. If a signal is read when executing a template, it marks the
view dirty. In addition, if a signal is read when executing host
bindings, it also marks views dirty.
One interesting thing about signal reads in host bindings
is that they perform a bit better than what we can do with today's
APIs. In order to re-execute host bindings for an `OnPush` component that
might have changed, you would probably inject `ChangeDetectorRef` and call
`markForCheck`. This will mark the _current component_ and parents
dirty. However, host bindings are executed as part of refreshing the
_parent_ so there is really no need to re-execute the current component
if the only thing that changed is the host bindings. When a signal is
read in host bindings, it marks the parent dirty and not the component
that defined the host binding.
Additionally, this commit avoids allocating a full consumer for each
`LView` by re-using a consumer until template execution results in a
signal read. At this point, we assign that consumer to the `LView` and
create a new consumer to "tentatively" use for the future `LView`
template executions.

Adds support for marking a directive input as required. During template type checking, the compiler will verify that all required inputs have been specified and will raise a diagnostic if one or more are missing. Some specifics:
* Inputs are marked as required by passing an object literal with a `required: true` property to the `Input` decorator or into the `inputs` array.
* Required inputs imply that the directive can't work without them. This is why there's a new check that enforces that all required inputs of a host directive are exposed on the host.
* Required input diagnostics are reported through the `OutOfBandDiagnosticRecorder`, rather than generating a new structure in the TCB, because it allows us to provide a better error message.
* Currently required inputs are only supported during AOT compilation, because knowing which bindings are present during JIT can be tricky and may lead to increased bundle sizes.

Angular uses inline styles to insert the styles associated with a component. This violates the strict styles [Content Security Policy](https://web.dev/strict-csp/) which doesn't allow inline styles by default. One way to allow the styles to be applied is to set a `nonce` attribute on them, but because the code for inserting the stylesheets is deep inside the framework, users weren't able to provide it without accessing private APIs.
These changes add a new `CSP_NONCE` injection token that will allow users to provide a nonce, if their app is using CSP. If the token isn't provided, the framework will look for an `ngCspNonce` attribute on the app's root node instead. The latter approach is provided as a convenience for apps that render the `index.html` through a server, e.g. `<app ngCspNonce="{% randomNonceAddedByTheServer %}"></app>`.
This PR addresses adding the nonce to framework-generated styles. There will be follow-up PRs that add support for it in critical CSS tags in the CLI, and in Angular Material.
