Refactor to use async/await for clearer asynchronous operations and enhanced error handling.
Simplify resource caching and streamline the resolution of component templates and styles.
Update in the router to align with the new async resource resolution.
This option was deprecated by #55778.
BREAKING CHANGE: The `interpolation` option on Components has been removed. Only the default `{{ ... }}` is now supported.

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.

Currently when loading external resources in JIT, when `fetch` fails,
the `text` is empty and the component is loading. This hides the actual
underlying fetch error. We should properly detect this and error out.

Angular has long had the ability to use different interpolation delimiters
(by default `{{` and `}}`). This concept was copied over from AngularJS,
where AngularJS syntax is included in HTML sent over the network to the
browser. Occasionally developers would use SSR frameworks which _also_ have
interpolation syntaxes of their own, so there was a need to change the
delimiters used by AngularJS to avoid conflicts.
Since Angular templates are always processed by our compiler and the
interpolation characters are never processed by other systems first, this
option is vestigial in Angular and only increases the complexity of our
parser.
DEPRECATED: `@Component.interpolation` is deprecated. Use Angular's
delimiters instead.

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.

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 separates application and platform code into even more files. This now removes
the ciruclar dependency between scheduling and application ref.

Removed the signals property definition from the Component interface since it already exists in the Directive interface and Component inherits from Directive

This change contains runtime logic needed to flatten the NgModule bootstrap field in local compilation mode. While it is quite odd to pass a "nested" array as NgModule bootstrap, it is still required to support this case in local compilation mode since it is supported in full compilation mode.

Adds support for passing in `@Component.styles` as a string. Also introduces a new `styleUrl` property on `@Component` for providing a single stylesheet. This is more convenient for the most common case where a component only has one stylesheet associated with it.

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.

This reverts commit a1ca162fd6.
This commit causes failures in g3, because `@Annotation` is load-bearing for
tsickle's decorator downleveling transformation.

This commit adds the `signals: boolean` property to the internal
directive/component metadata. This does not add it to the public API
yet, as the feature has no internal support other than compiler
detection.
