There is an encoding issue with using delta `Δ`, where the browser will attempt to detect the file encoding if the character set is not explicitly declared on a `<script/>` tag, and Chrome will find the `Δ` character and decide it is window-1252 encoding, which misinterprets the `Δ` character to be some other character that is not a valid JS identifier character
So back to the frog eyes we go.

Previously we defensively wrapped expressions in case they ran afoul of
precedence rules. For example, it would be easy to create the TS AST structure
Call(Ternary(a, b, c)), but might result in printed code of:
```
a ? b : c()
```
Whereas the actual structure we meant to generate is:
```
(a ? b : c)()
```
However the TypeScript renderer appears to be clever enough to provide
parenthesis as necessary.
This commit removes these defensive paraenthesis in the cases of binary
and ternary operations.

Previously, interpolations were generated into TCBs as a comma-separated
list of expressions, letting TypeScript infer the type of the expression
as the type of the last expression in the chain. This is undesirable, as
interpolations always result in a string type at runtime. Therefore,
type-checking of bindings such as `<img src="{{ link }}"/>` where `link`
is an object would incorrectly report a type-error.
This commit adjusts the emitted TCB code for interpolations, where a
chain of string concatenations is emitted, starting with the empty string.
This ensures that the inferred type of the interpolation is of type string.

A structural directive can specify a template guard for an input, such that
the type of that input's binding can be narrowed based on the guard's return
type. Previously, such template guards could only be methods, of which an
invocation would be inserted into the type-check block (TCB). For `NgIf`,
the template guard narrowed the type of its expression to be `NonNullable`
using the following declaration:
```typescript
export declare class NgIf {
static ngTemplateGuard_ngIf<E>(dir: NgIf, expr: E): expr is NonNullable<E>
}
```
This works fine for usages such as `*ngIf="person"` but starts to introduce
false-positives when e.g. an explicit non-null check like
`*ngIf="person !== null"` is used, as the method invocation in the TCB
would not have the desired effect of narrowing `person` to become
non-nullable:
```typescript
if (NgIf.ngTemplateGuard_ngIf(directive, ctx.person !== null)) {
// Usages of `ctx.person` within this block would
// not have been narrowed to be non-nullable.
}
```
This commit introduces a new strategy for template guards to allow for the
binding expression itself to be used as template guard in the TCB. Now,
the TCB generated for `*ngIf="person !== null"` would look as follows:
```typescript
if (ctx.person !== null) {
// This time `ctx.person` will successfully have
// been narrowed to be non-nullable.
}
```
This strategy can be activated by declaring the template guard as a
property declaration with `'binding'` as literal return type.
See #30235 for an example where this led to a false positive.

Now that the dependent files and compilation scopes are being tracked in
the incremental state, we can skip analysing and emitting source files if
none of their dependent files have changed since the last compile.
The computation of what files (and their dependencies) are unchanged is
computed during reconciliation.
This commit also removes the previous emission skipping logic, since this
approach covers those cases already.

To support skipping analysis of a file containing a component
we need to know that none of the declarations that might affect
its ngtsc compilation have not changed. The files that we need to
check are those that contain classes from the `CompilationScope`
of the component. These classes are already tracked in the
`LocalModuleScopeRegistry`.
This commit modifies the `IvyCompilation` class to record the
files that are in each declared class's `CompilationScope` via
a new method, `recordNgModuleScopeDependencies()`, that is called
after all the handlers have been "resolved".
Further, if analysis is skipped for a declared class, then we need
to recover the analysis from the previous compilation run. To
support this, the `IncrementalState` class has been updated to
expose the `MetadataReader` and `MetadataRegistry` interfaces.
This is included in the `metaRegistry` object to capture these analyses,
and also in the `localMetaReader` as a fallback to use if the
current compilation analysis was skipped.

As part of incremental compilation performance improvements, we need
to track the dependencies of files due to expressions being evaluated by
the `PartialEvaluator`.
The `PartialEvaluator` now accepts a `DependencyTracker` object, which is
used to track which files are visited when evaluating an expression.
The interpreter computes this `originatingFile` and stores it in the evaluation
`Context` so it can pass this to the `DependencyTracker.
The `IncrementalState` object implements this interface, which allows it to be
passed to the `PartialEvaluator` and so capture the file dependencies.

Previously, ngtsc included query fields in the list of fields which can
affect the type of a directive via its type constructor. This feature
however has yet to be built, and View Engine in default mode does not
do this inference.

an error but are allowed by View Engine) cause the type constructor
signature to be invalid. This commit fixes that issue by disabling the
logic to include query fields.

ngtsc generates type constructors which infer the type of a directive based
on its inputs. Previously, a bug existed where this inference would fail in
the case of 'any' input values. For example, the inference of NgForOf fails
when an 'any' is provided, as it causes TypeScript to attempt to solve:
T[] = any
In this case, T gets inferred as {}, the empty object type, which is not
desirable.
The fix is to assign generic types in type constructors a default type of
'any', which TypeScript uses instead of {} when inference fails.

ngtsc previously could attempt to reuse the main ts.Program twice. This
occurred when template type-checking was enabled and then an incremental
build was performed. This breaks a TypeScript invariant - ts.Programs can
only be reused once.
The creation of the template type-checking program reuses the main program,
rendering it moot. Then, on the next incremental build the main program
would be subject to reuse again, which would crash inside TypeScript.
This commit fixes the issue by reusing the template type-checking program
from the previous run on the next incremental build. Since under normal
circumstances the files in the type-checking program aren't changed, this
should be just as fast.
Testing strategy: a test is added in the incremental_spec which validates
that program reuse with type-checking turned on does not crash the compiler.

Now that ngtsc performs type checking using a dedicated `__ng_typecheck__.ts`
file, `NgtscProgram` always wraps its `ts.CompilerHost` in a shim host. This
shim fails to delegate `resolveModuleNames` so no custom module resolution

host it passes kicks of ngcc for any imported module such that Ivy's
compatibility compiler runs automatically behind the scenes.

The compiler uses metadata to represent what it statically knows about
various expressions in a program. Occasionally, expressions in the program
for which metadata is extracted may contain sub-expressions which are not
representable in metadata. One such construct is an arrow function.
The compiler does not always need to understand such expressions completely.
For example, for a provider defined with `useValue`, the compiler does not
need to understand the value at all, only the outer provider definition. In
this case, the compiler employs a technique known as "expression lowering",
where it rewrites the provider expression into one that can be represented
in metadata. Chiefly, this involves extracting out the dynamic part (the
`useValue` expression) into an exported constant.
Lowering is applied through a heuristic, which considers the containing
statement as well as the field name of the expression.
Previously, this heuristic was not completely accurate in the case of
route definitions and the `loadChildren` field, which is lowered. If the
route definition using `loadChildren` existed inside a decorator invocation,
lowering was performed correctly. However, if it existed inside a standalone
variable declaration with an export keyword, the heuristic would conclude
that lowering was unnecessary. For ordinary providers this is true; however
the compiler attempts to fully understand the ROUTES token and thus even if
an array of routes is declared in an exported variable, any `loadChildren`
expressions within still need to be lowered.
This commit enables lowering of already exported variables under a limited
set of conditions (where the initializer expression is of a specific form).
This should enable the use of `loadChildren` in route definitions.

PR Close#29698
The template type-checking engine previously would assemble a type-checking
program by inserting Type Check Blocks (TCBs) into existing user files. This
approach proved expensive, as TypeScript has to re-parse and re-type-check
those files when processing the type-checking program.
Instead, a far more performant approach is to augment the program with a
single type-checking file, into which all TCBs are generated. Additionally,
type constructors are also inlined into this file.
This is not always possible - both TCBs and type constructors can sometimes
require inlining into user code, particularly if bound generic type
parameters are present, so the approach taken is actually a hybrid. These
operations are inlined if necessary, but are otherwise generated in a single
file.
It is critically important that the original program also include an empty
version of the type-checking file, otherwise the shape of the two programs
will be different and TypeScript will throw away all the old program
information. This leads to a painfully slow type checking pass, on the same
order as the original program creation. A shim to generate this file in the
original program is therefore added.
Testing strategy: this commit is largely a refactor with no externally
observable behavioral differences, and thus no tests are needed.

This commit adds support in the template type-checking engine for handling
the logical not operation and the safe navigation operation.
Safe navigation in particular is tricky, as the View Engine implementation
has a rather inconvenient flaw. View Engine checks a safe navigation
operation `a?.b` as:
```typescript
(a != null ? a!.b : null as any)
```
The type of this expression is always 'any', as the false branch of the
ternary has type 'any'. Thus, using null-safe navigation throws away the
type of the result, and breaks type-checking for the rest of the expression.
A flag is introduced in the type-checking configuration to allow Ivy to
mimic this behavior when needed.

View Engine's implementation of naive template type-checking is less
advanced than the current Ivy implementation. As a result, Ivy catches lots

directive classes actually referenced in the template. If those directives

chains and use the full metadata for a directive for TCB generation.

Previously, metadata registration (the recording of collected metadata
during analysis of directives, pipes, and NgModules) was only used to
produce the `LocalModuleScope`, and thus was handled by the
`LocalModuleScopeRegistry`.
However, the template type-checker also needs information about registered
directives, outside of the NgModule scope determinations. Rather than
reuse the scope registry for an unintended purpose, this commit introduces
new abstractions for metadata registration and lookups in a separate
'metadata' package, which the scope registry implements.
This paves the way for a future commit to make use of this metadata for the
template type-checking system.
Testing strategy: this commit is a refactoring which introduces no new
functionality, so existing tests are sufficient.

Previously the template type-checking engine processed templates in a linear
manner, and could not handle '#' references within a template. One reason
for this is that '#' references are non-linear - a reference can be used
before its declaration. Consider the template:
```html
{{ref.value}}
<input #ref>
```
Accommodating this required refactoring the type-checking code generator to
be able to produce Type Check Block (TCB) code non-linearly. Now, each
template is processed and a list of TCB operations (`TcbOp`s) are created.
Non-linearity is modeled via dependencies between operations, with the
appropriate protection in place for circular dependencies.
