This commit resolves a regression that was introduced when the compiler switched from
`TemplateDefinitionBuilder` (TDB) to the template pipeline (TP) compiler. The TP compiler
has changed the output of
```html
if (false) { <div class="test"></div> }
```
from
```ts
defineComponent({
consts: [['class', 'test'], [AttributeMarker.Classes, 'test']],
template: function(rf) {
if (rf & 1) {
ɵɵtemplate(0, App_Conditional_0_Template, 2, 0, "div", 0)
}
}
});
```
to
```ts
defineComponent({
consts: [[AttributeMarker.Classes, 'test']],
template: function(rf) {
if (rf & 1) {
ɵɵtemplate(0, App_Conditional_0_Template, 2, 0, "div", 0)
}
}
});
```
The last argument to the `ɵɵtemplate` instruction (0 in both compilation outputs) corresponds with
the index in `consts` of the element's attribute's, and we observe how TP has allocated only a single
attribute array for the `div`, where there used to be two `consts` entries with TDB. Consequently,
the `ɵɵtemplate` instruction is now effectively referencing a different attributes array, where the
distinction between the `"class"` attribute vs. the `AttributeMarker.Classes` distinction affects
the behavior: TP's emit causes the runtime to incorrectly match a directive with `selector: '.foo'` to
be instantiated on the `ɵɵtemplate` instruction as if it corresponds with a structural directive!
Instead of changing TP to align with TDB's emit, this commit updates the runtime instead. This uncovered
an inconsistency in selector matching for class names, where there used to be two paths dealing with
class matching:
1. The first check was commented to be a special-case for class matching, implemented in `isCssClassMatching`.
2. The second path was part of the main selector matching algorithm, where `findAttrIndexInNode` was being used
to find the start position in `tNode.attrs` to match the selector's value against.
The second path only considers `AttributeMarker.Classes` values if matching for content projection, OR of the
`TNode` is not an inline template. The special-case in path 1 however does not make that distinction, so it
would consider the `AttributeMarker.Classes` binding as a selector match, incorrectly causing a directive to
match on the `ɵɵtemplate` itself.
The second path was also buggy for class bindings, as the return value of `classIndexOf` was incorrectly
negated: it considered a matching class attribute as non-matching and vice-versa. This bug was not observable
because of another issue, where the class-handling in part 2 was never relevant because of the special-case
in part 1.
This commit separates path 1 entirely from path 2 and removes the buggy class-matching logic in part 2, as
that is entirely handled by path 1 anyway. `isCssClassMatching` is updated to exclude class bindings from
being matched for inline templates.

Currently if an `(output)` listener fails, it will be handled gracefully
by Angular and reported to the `ErrorHandler`.
For programmatic subscriptions with `OutputEmitterRef`, this is not the case.
Instead, as soon as any subscription is failing, all other subsequent
subscription callbacks are not firing anymore.
This commit intends to make this more consistent by gracefully
reporting errors from `OutputEmitterRef#emit` to `ErrorHandler`,
allowing for listener execution to continue.

An `EventEmitter` is a construct owned by Angular that should be
used for outputs as of right now.
As we are introducing the new `OutputRef` interface for the new output
function APIs, we also think `EventEmitter` should implement
`OutputRef`— ensuring all "known" outputs follow the same contract.
This commit ensures `EventEmitter` implements an `OutputRef`
Note: An output ref captures the destroy ref from the current injection
context for clean-up purposes. This is also done for `EventEmitter` in a
backwards compatible way:
- not requiring an injection context. EventEmitter may be used
elsewhere.
- not cleaning up subscriptions/completing the emitter when the
directive/component is destroyed. This would be a change in behavior.
Note 2: The dependency on `DestroyRef` causes it to be retained in all
bundling examples because ironically `NgZone` uses `EventEmitter`- not
for outputs. The code is pretty minimal though, so that should be
acceptable.
`EventEmitter` will now always retain `NgZone. This increases the
payload size slightly around 800b for AIO. Note that the other increases
were coming from previous changes. This commit just pushed it over the
threshold.

A model signal is technically an output, at runtime and conceptually.
This commit re-uses the shared output ref logic and ensures the
interfaces match.
PR Close#54650
This commit exposes the new `output()` API with numerous benefits:
- Symmetrical API to `input()`, `model()` etc.
- Fixed types for `EventEmitter.emit`— current `emit` method of
`EventEmitter` is broken and accepts `undefined` via `emit(value?: T)`
- Removal of RxJS specific concepts from outputs. error channels,
completion channels etc. We now have a simple consistent
interface.
- Automatic clean-up of subscribers upon directive/component destory-
when subscribed programmatically.
```ts
@Directive({..})
export class MyDir {
nameChange = output<string>(); // OutputEmitterRef<string>
onClick = output(); // OutputEmitterRef<void>
}
```
Note: RxJS custom observable cases will be handled in future commits via
explicit helpers from the interop.

In zone-full applications, this is already true because effects are
scheduled inside a microtask and tracked by ZoneJS. When not using
zones, this should stay consistent on principle and for testability
reasons. A general pattern with zoneless testing will be to update state
and `await` some promise (i.e. `fixture.whenStable`, which will be
linked to `ApplicationRef.isStable`).

The current behavior of `autoDetect` in `ComponentFixture` does not
match production very well. It has several flaws that make it an
insufficient change detection mechanism:
* It runs change detection for the component under test _after_ views
attached to the `ApplicationRef`. This can cause real behavior
differences that break in production, because tests can observe view
refreshes in the incorrect order (for example, a dialog refreshing
before the component which opened it).
* Because of the above ordering, render hooks registered during change
detection of the fixture views _will not execute at all_ because
`ApplicationRef.tick` already happen.
* It does not rerun change detection on the view tree if there are more
dirty views to refresh after the render hooks complete.
* It effectively hides/swallows errors from change detection inside the
`onMicrotaskEmpty` subscription by not reporting them to the error
handler. Instead, this error ends up being unhandled in the
subscription and rxjs throws these in a `setTimeout`.
All of the above are problematic but this commit _does not_ fix the
final point. Ideally, we can land this in a future change but this
requires additional internal fixes. In the meantime, we have to juggle
special-case handling of the component fixture views within
`ApplicationRef.tick` using some special events to retain current
behavior and avoid errors from the fixture propagating to the `ErrorHandler`.
breaking note for future when isG3 flag condition is removed for v18:
The `ComponentFixture.autoDetect` feature now executes
change detection for the fixture within `ApplicationRef.tick`. This more
closely matches the behavior of how a component would refresh in
production. The order of component refresh in tests may be slightly
affected as a result, especially when dealing with additional components
attached to the application, such as dialogs. Tests sensitive to this
type of change (such as screenshot tests) may need to be updated.

One downside of implicit dependency tracking in `effect()`s is that it's easy
to for downstream code to end up running inside the effect context by accident.
For example, if an effect raises an event (e.g. by `next()`ing a `Subject`), the
subscribers to that `Observable` will run inside the effect's reactive context,
and any signals read within the subscriber will end up as dependencies of the
effect. This is why the `untracked` function is useful, to run certain
operations without incidental signal reads ending up tracked.
However, knowing when this is necessary is non-trivial. For example, injecting
a dependency might cause it to be instantiated, which would run the constructor
in the effect context unless the injection operation is untracked.
Therefore, Angular will automatically drop the reactive context within a number
of framework APIs. This commit addresses these use cases:
* creating and destroying views
* creating and destroying DI injectors
* injecting dependencies
* emitting outputs
Fixes#54548
There are likely other APIs which would benefit from this approach, but this
is a start.

Angular has the `@Attribute` decorator that allows for attributes to be injected from the host node, but we don't have an equivalent for the `inject` function. These changes introduce the new `HostAttributeToken` class that can be used to inject attributes similarly to `@Attribute`. It can be used as follows:
```typescript
import {HostAttributeToken, inject} from '@angular/core';
class MyDir {
someAttr = inject(new HostAttributeToken('some-attr'));
}
```
The new API works similarly to `@Attribute` with one key exception: it will throw a DI error when the attribute doesn't exist, instead of returning `null` like `@Attribute`. We made this change to align its behavior closer to other injection tokens.

This commit ensures that any internal render hooks that cause views to
become dirty again first refresh those dirty views before running user
render hooks. This ensures that user render hooks have the most complete
render state possible and stops them from needlessly executing multiple
times. This is important to maintain the goal of the public render
hooks, which is to provide the safest place to place code that depends
on DOM state, especially in ways that may force a browser paint.

Currently, when a `@defer` block contains standalone components that import NgModules with providers, those providers are not available to components declared within the same NgModule. The problem is that the standalone injector is not created for the host component (that hosts this `@defer` block), since dependencies become defer-loaded, thus no information is available at host component creation time.
This commit updates the logic to collect all providers from all NgModules used as a dependency for standalone components used within a `@defer` block. When an instance of a defer block is created, a new environment injector instance with those providers is created.

In some situations, calling `markForCheck` can result in an infinite
loop in seemingly valid scenarios. When a transplanted view is inserted
before its declaration, it gets refreshed in the retry loop of
`detectChanges`. At this point, the `Dirty` flag has been cleared from
all parents. Calling `markForCheck` marks the insertion tree up to the
root `Dirty`. If the declaration is checked again as a result (i.e.
because it has default change detection) and is reachable because its
parent was marked `Dirty`, this can cause an infinite loop. The
declaration is refreshed again, so the insertion is marked for refresh
(again). We enter an infinite loop if the insertion tree always calls
`markForCheck` for some reason (i.e. `{{createReplayObservable() | async}}`).
While the case above does fall into an infinite loop, it also truly is a
problem in the application. While it's not an infinite synchronous loop,
the declaration and insertion are infinitely dirty and will be refreshed
on every change detection round.
Usually `markForCheck` does not have this problem because the `Dirty`
flag is not cleared until the very end of change detection. However, if
the view did not already have the `Dirty` flag set, it is never cleared
because we never entered view refresh. One solution to this problem
could be to clear the `Dirty` flag even after skipping view refresh but
traversing to children.

Adds support for model inputs in the framework. `model()` returns a writable signal that implicitly defines a input/output pair that can be used either in two-way bindings to keep two values in sync or by binding individually to the input and output. When the value of the `model` changes, it will emit an event with the current value.
Furthermore, these changes expand two-way bindings to accept `WritableSignal`. This will make it easier to transition existing code to signals in a backwards-compatible way.

selector: 'counter',
