62a97f7e4b fix(core): ensure definitions compile
Includes the following changes to make sure the definitions for injectable compiler:
1. The types for the `factory` function now include the `parent` parameter.
2. `ɵɵFactoryDeclaration` is now defined as a function. We need this since the provider definition gets passed into the inejctable definition by reference.
3. `ɵɵdefineInjectable`, `ɵɵdefineNgModule` and `ɵɵdefinePipe` now return the typed definition, rather than `unknown`. This aligns with what we do for components and directives.

cec91c0035 feat(core): add option to infer the tag names of components in tests (#62283)
Currently when testing a component using `TestBed.createComponent`, we always create the component as a `div` which isn't aligned with the runtime. The runtime tries to parse out the tag name from the first selector in `@Component` and only falls back to `div` if there isn't one. This behavior difference can cause components to not behave like they would in production which reduces the usefulness of the tests.

These changes add the `inferTagName` option to `TestBed.createComponent` and `TestBed.configureTestingModule` that allows apps to opt into inferring the tag name from the selector in the same way as the runtime. Currently the new option is set to `false`, but we intend to change it to `true` in a future version.

2e0c98bd3f feat(core): support bindings in TestBed (#62040)
Adds support for passing in `Binding` objects into `TestBed.createComponent`. This makes it easier to test components by avoiding the need to create a wrapper component. Furthermore, it keeps the behavior consistent between tests and the actual app. For example, given a custom checkbox that looks like this:

```typescript
@Component({
  selector: 'my-checkbox',
  template: '...',
  host: {'[class.checked]': 'isChecked()'}
})
export class MyCheckbox {
  isChecked = input(false);
}
```

A test for the `isChecked` input would look something like this:

```typescript
it('should toggle the checked class', () => {
  @Component({
    imports: [MyCheckbox],
    template: '<my-checkbox [isChecked]="isChecked"/>',
  })
  class Wrapper {
    isChecked = false;
  }

  const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(Wrapper);
  const checkbox = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('my-checkbox');
  fixture.detectChanges();
  expect(checkbox.classList).not.toContain('checked');

  fixture.componentInstance.isChecked = true;
  fixture.detectChanges();
  expect(checkbox.classList).toContain('checked');
});
```

Whereas with the new API, the test would look like this:

```typescript
it('should toggle the checked class', () => {
  const isChecked = signal(false);
  const fixture = TestBed.createComponent(MyCheckbox, {
    bindings: [inputBinding('isChecked', isChecked)]
  });
  const checkbox = fixture.nativeElement.querySelector('my-checkbox');
  fixture.detectChanges();
  expect(checkbox.classList).not.toContain('checked');

  isChecked.set(true);
  fixture.detectChanges();
  expect(checkbox.classList).toContain('checked');
});
```

2b3c89dba2 refactor(core): re-introduce TestBed.flushEffects()" (#61462)
Our intention was to remove TestBed.flushEffects() in Angular v20
as it was a developer preview API that doesn't need to follow our
deprecation policy. It turned out, though, that the angular.dev
documentation wasn't displaying the @developerPreview annotation
properly so some of the developers might have been unaware of the
non-stable nature of this API.

This commits re-introduces the TestBed.flushEffects() API. This
API call will delegate to TestBed.tick().

468d3fb9b1 fix(core): rethrow errors during ApplicationRef.tick in TestBed (#57200)
Errors during change detection from `ApplicationRef.tick` are only
reported to the `ErrorHandler`. By default, this only logs the error to
console. As a result, these errors can be missed/ignored and allow tests
to pass when they should not. This change ensures that the errors are
surfaced. Note that this is already the behavior when zoneless is
enabled.

BREAKING CHANGE: Errors that are thrown during `ApplicationRef.tick`
will now be rethrown when using `TestBed`. These errors should be
resolved by ensuring the test environment is set up correctly to
complete change detection successfully. There are two alternatives to
catch the errors:

* Instead of waiting for automatic change detection to happen, trigger
  it synchronously and expect the error. For example, a jasmine test
  could write `expect(() => TestBed.inject(ApplicationRef).tick()).toThrow()`
* `TestBed` will reject any outstanding `ComponentFixture.whenStable` promises. A jasmine test,
for example, could write `expectAsync(fixture.whenStable()).toBeRejected()`.

As a last resort, you can configure errors to _not_ be rethrown by
setting `rethrowApplicationErrors` to `false` in `TestBed.configureTestingModule`.

f7918f5272 feat(core): Add 'flush' parameter option to fakeAsync to flush after the test (#57239)
From the internal issue on the matter:

> When using the standard Jasmine version of it promises returned by the body function are automatically awaited. The Catalyst version of it is fake-async, so awaiting the promise does not make sense; however it would be nice if Catalyst automatically flushed the promise to replicate the experience of using standard it. This would allow users to do the following:

```
it('should fail later', async () => {
  await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r));
  fail('failure');
});
```
> In Catalyst today the above test will pass. If this proposal to automatically flush the resulting promise were implemented it would fail.

Flushing after the tests complete has been the default behavior inside
Google since 2020. Very few tests remain that use the old behavior of
only flushing microtasks. The example above would actually fail with
`fakeAsync` due to the pending timer, but the argument still remains the
same. We might as well just flush if we're going to fail the test
anyways by throwing if there's no flush at the end.

658cf8c384 fix(core): ComponentFixture stability should match ApplicationRef (#54949)
This change aligns the stability of `ComponentFixture` with that of
`ApplicationRef`, preventing confusing differences between the two as
more APIs start using the `PendingTasks` that may not be tracked by
`NgZone`.

BREAKING CHANGE: `ComponentFixture.whenStable` now matches the
`ApplicationRef.isStable` observable. Prior to this change, stability
of the fixture did not include everything that was considered in
`ApplicationRef`. `whenStable` of the fixture will now include unfinished
router navigations and unfinished `HttpClient` requests. This will cause
tests that `await` the `whenStable` promise to time out when there are
incomplete requests. To fix this, remove the `whenStable`,
instead wait for another condition, or ensure `HttpTestingController`
mocks responses for all requests. Try adding `HttpTestingController.verify()`
before your `await fixture.whenStable` to identify the open requests.
Also, make sure your tests wait for the stability promise. We found many
examples of tests that did not, meaning the expectations did not execute
within the test body.

In addition, `ComponentFixture.isStable` would synchronously switch to
true in some scenarios but will now always be asynchronous.

3ca34e606d refactor(core): Update ComponentFixture behavior when using zoneless scheduler (#54024)
When the zoneless scheduler is provided, we want to update the behavior
of `ComponentFixture` to address common issues and painpoints in testing.
Developers should never have to call `detectChanges` on a fixture
manually. Instead of calling `detectChanges` after performing an
action that updates state and requies a template refresh, developers
should wait for change detection to run because the update needs to also have
notified the scheduler. If this was not the case, the component would
not work correctly in the application. Calling `detectChanges` to force
an update could hide real bugs.

This commit also updates the zoneless tests to uses `ComponentFixture`
instead of manually attaching to the `ApplicationRef` and rewriting a
lot of the helpers (`getDebugNode`, `isStable` as a value, `whenStable` as a
Promise).

38c9f08c8d refactor(core): decouple effects from change detection (#51049)
Previously effects were queued as they became dirty, and this queue was
flushed at various checkpoints during the change detection cycle. The result
was that change detection _was_ the effect runner, and without executing CD,
effects would not execute. This leads a particular tradeoff:

* effects are subject to unidirectional data flow (bad for dx)
* effects don't cause a new round of CD (good/bad depending on use case)
* effects can be used to implement control flow efficiently (desirable)

This commit changes the scheduling mechanism. Effects are now scheduled via
the microtask queue. This changes the tradeoffs:

* effects are no longer limited by unidirectional data flow (easy dx)
* effects registered in the Angular zone will trigger CD after they run
  (same as `Promise.resolve` really)
* the public `effect()` type of effect probably isn't a good building block
  for our built-in control flow, and we'll need a new internal abstraction.

As `effect()` is in developer preview, changing the execution timing is not
considered breaking even though it may impact current users.

873229f24b feat(core): add opt-in test module teardown configuration (#42566)
We currently have two long-standing issues related to how `TestBed` tests are torn down:
1. The dynamically-created test module isn't going to be destroyed, preventing the `ngOnDestroy` hooks on providers from running and keeping the component `style` nodes in the DOM.
2. The test root elements aren't going to be removed from the DOM. Instead, they will be removed whenever another test component is created.

By themselves, these issues are easy to resolve, but given how long they've been around, there are a lot of unit tests out there that depend on the broken behavior.

These changes address the issues by introducing APIs that allow users to opt into the correct test teardown behavior either at the application level via `TestBed.initTestEnvironment` or the test suite level via `TestBed.configureTestingModule`.

At the moment, the new teardown behavior is opt-in, but the idea is that we'll eventually make it opt-out before removing the configuration altogether.
