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.

As previously discussed in pull/31070 and issues/30486, this would be useful because it is often desirable to apply styles to fields that are both `ng-invalid` and `ng-pristine` after the first attempt at form submission, but Angular does not provide any simple way to do this (although evidently Angularjs did). This will now be possible with a descendant selector such as `.ng-submitted .ng-invalid`.
In this implementation, the directive that sets control status classes on forms and formGroups has its set of statuses widened to include `ng-submitted`. Then, in the event that `is('submitted')` is invoked, the `submitted` property of the control container is returned iff it exists. This is preferred over checking whether the container is a `Form` or `FormGroup` directly to avoid reflecting on those classes.

Makes the following improvements to the listener instructions to make them slightly smaller and more memory-efficient.
1. Removes the default value from the `useCapture` parameter since it generates more code than just castint to `false`.

3. Makes it so that we don't have to return a target name from a `GlobalTargetResolver`. This allows us to save on some memory, because we can return a reference to the target without having to wrap it in an object literal.

In partial compilation mode, the compiler's output changes from fully

allows libraries to be compiled and published using the Ivy compiler.
Please be aware that libraries that have been compiled using this mode
can only be used in Angular 12 applications and up; they cannot be used

Angular prior to 12. The `compilationMode` option has no effect if

The Ivy Language Service uses the compiler's template type-checking engine,
which honors the configuration in the user's tsconfig.json. We recommend
that users upgrade to `strictTemplates` mode in their projects to take
advantage of the best possible type inference, and thus to have the best
experience in Language Service.
If a project is not using `strictTemplates`, then the compiler will not
leverage certain type inference options it has. One case where this is very
noticeable is the inference of let- variables for structural directives that
provide a template context guard (such as NgFor). Without `strictTemplates`,
these guards will not be applied and such variables will be inferred as
'any', degrading the user experience within Language Service.
This is working as designed, since the Language Service _should_ reflect
types exactly as the compiler sees them. However, the View Engine Language
Service used its own type system that _would_ infer these types even when
the compiler did not. As a result, it's confusing to some users why the
Ivy Language Service has "worse" type inference.
To address this confusion, this commit implements a suggestion diagnostic
which is shown in the Language Service for variables which could have been
narrowed via a context guard, but the type checking configuration didn't
allow it. This should make the reason why variables receive the 'any' type
as well as the action needed to improve the typings much more obvious,
improving the Language Service experience.

A long-requested feature for HttpClient is the ability to store and retrieve
custom metadata for requests, especially in interceptors. This commit
implements this functionality via a new context object for requests.
Each outgoing HttpRequest now has an associated "context", an instance of
the HttpContext class. An HttpContext can be provided when making a request,
or if not then an empty context is created for the new request. This context
shares its lifecycle with the entire request, even across operations that
change the identity of the HttpRequest instance such as RxJS retries.

read/write a value for the key from any HttpContext object.

Previously, injector definitions contained a `factory` property that
was used to create a new instance of the associated NgModule class.
Now this factory has been moved to its own `ɵfac` static property on the
NgModule class itself. This is inline with how directives, components and
pipes are created.
There is a small size increase to bundle sizes for each NgModule class,
because the `ɵfac` takes up a bit more space:
Before:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({factory: function(t) { return new (t || n) }, imports: [[e.a.forChild(s)], e.a]}),
n
})(),
```
After:
```js
let a = (() => {
class n {}
return n.\u0275fac = function(t) { return new (t || n) },
n.\u0275mod = c.Cb({type: n}),
n.\u0275inj = c.Bb({imports: [[r.a.forChild(s)], r.a]}),
n
})(),
```
In other words `n.\u0275fac = ` is longer than `factory: ` (by 5 characters)
and only because the tooling insists on encoding `ɵ` as `\u0275`.
This can be mitigated in a future PR by only generating the `ɵfac` property
if it is actually needed.

This commit updates the type of the `APP_INITIALIZER` injection token to
better document the expected types of values that Angular handles. Only
Promises and Observables are awaited and other types of values are ignored,
so the type of `APP_INITIALIZER` has been updated to
`Promise<unknown> | Observable<unknown> | void` to reflect this behavior.
BREAKING CHANGE:
The type of the `APP_INITIALIZER` token has been changed to more accurately
reflect the types of return values that are handled by Angular. Previously,
each initializer callback was typed to return `any`, this is now
`Promise<unknown> | Observable<unknown> | void`. In the unlikely event that
your application uses the `Injector.get` or `TestBed.inject` API to inject
the `APP_INITIALIZER` token, you may need to update the code to account for
the stricter type.
Additionally, TypeScript may report the TS2742 error if the `APP_INITIALIZER`
token is used in an expression of which its inferred type has to be emitted
into a .d.ts file. To workaround this, an explicit type annotation is needed,
which would typically be `Provider` or `Provider[]`.

outlets must register with `ChildrenOutletContexts`, but it currently
only accepts our `RouterOutlet`.

routes through outlets, we allow for developers to more easily and safely
extend the `Router` and have fine-tuned control over navigation and component

`@angular/platform-server` provides the foundation for rendering an
Angular app on the server. In order to achieve that, it uses a
server-side DOM implementation (currently [domino][1]).
For rendering on the server to work as closely as possible to running
the app on the browser, we need to make DOM globals (such as `Element`,
`HTMLElement`, etc.), which are normally provided by the browser,
available as globals on the server as well.
Currently, `@angular/platform-server` achieves this by extending the
`global` object with the DOM implementation provided by `domino`. This
assignment happens in the [setDomTypes()][2] function, which is
[called in a `PLATFORM_INITIALIZER`][3]. While this works in most cases,
there are some scenarios where the DOM globals are needed sooner (i.e.
before initializing the platform). See, for example, #24551 and #39950
for more details on such issues.
This commit provides a way to solve this problem by exposing a
side-effect-ful entry-point (`@angular/platform-server/init`), that
shims the `global` object with DOM globals. People will be able to
import this entry-point in their server-rendered apps before
bootstrapping the app (for example, in their `main.server.ts` file).
(See also [#39950 (comment)][4].)
In a future update, the [`universal` schematics][5] will include such an
import by default in newly generated projects.
