The purpose of the `WrappedValue` is to allow same object instance to be treated as different for the purposes of change detection. It is currently used with `async` pipe and only with `Observables`. The use case which it covers is if the `Observable` produces the same instance of the value but it is desirable to still try to mark it as changed for the purposes of change detection.
We believe tha the above use case is too rare to warrant special handling in the framework. (Having special handling causes application slowdown for the users and mental load for the developers.) No replacement is planned for this deprecation.

This optimization builds on a lot of prior work to finally make type-
checking of templates incremental.
Incrementality requires two main components:
- the ability to reuse work from a prior compilation.
- the ability to know when changes in the current program invalidate that
prior work.
Prior to this commit, on every type-checking pass the compiler would
generate new .ngtypecheck files for each original input file in the program.
1. (Build #1 main program): empty .ngtypecheck files generated for each
original input file.
2. (Build #1 type-check program): .ngtypecheck contents overridden for those
which have corresponding components that need type-checked.
3. (Build #2 main program): throw away old .ngtypecheck files and generate
new empty ones.
4. (Build #2 type-check program): same as step 2.
With this commit, the `IncrementalDriver` now tracks template type-checking
_metadata_ for each input file. The metadata contains information about
source mappings for generated type-checking code, as well as some
diagnostics which were discovered at type-check analysis time. The actual
type-checking code is stored in the TypeScript AST for type-checking files,
which is now re-used between programs as follows:
1. (Build #1 main program): empty .ngtypecheck files generated for each
original input file.
2. (Build #1 type-check program): .ngtypecheck contents overridden for those
which have corresponding components that need type-checked, and the
metadata registered in the `IncrementalDriver`.
3. (Build #2 main program): The `TypeCheckShimGenerator` now reuses _all_
.ngtypecheck `ts.SourceFile` shims from build #1's type-check program in
the construction of build #2's main program. Some of the contents of
these files might be stale (if a component's template changed, for
example), but wholesale reuse here prevents unnecessary changes in the
contents of the program at this point and makes TypeScript's job a lot
easier.
4. (Build #2 type-check program): For those input files which have not
"logically changed" (meaning components within are semantically the same
as they were before), the compiler will re-use the type-check file
metadata from build #1, and _not_ generate a new .ngtypecheck shim.
For components which have logically changed or where the previous
.ngtypecheck contents cannot otherwise be reused, code generation happens
as before.

As a performance optimization, this commit splits the single
__ngtypecheck__.ts file which was previously added to the user's program as
a container for all template type-checking code into multiple .ngtypecheck
shim files, one for each original file in the user's program.
In larger applications, the generation, parsing, and checking of this single
type-checking file was a huge performance bottleneck, with the file often
exceeding 1 MB in text content. Particularly in incremental builds,
regenerating this single file for the entire application proved especially
expensive.
This commit introduces a new strategy for template type-checking code which
makes use of a new interface, the `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy`. This
interface abstracts the process of creating a new `ts.Program` to type-check
a particular compilation, and allows the mechanism there to be kept separate
from the more complex logic around dealing with multiple .ngtypecheck files.
A new `TemplateTypeChecker` hosts that logic and interacts with the
`TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` to actually generate and return diagnostics.
The `TypeCheckContext` class, previously the workhorse of template type-
checking, is now solely focused on collecting and generating type-checking
file contents.
A side effect of implementing the new `TypeCheckingProgramStrategy` in this
way is that the API is designed to be suitable for use by the Angular
Language Service as well. The LS also needs to type-check components, but
has its own method for constructing a `ts.Program` with type-checking code.
Note that this commit does not make the actual checking of templates at all
_incremental_ just yet. That will happen in a future commit.

Shim generation was built on a lie.
Shims are files added to the program which aren't original files authored by
the user, but files authored effectively by the compiler. These fall into
two categories: files which will be generated (like the .ngfactory shims we
generate for View Engine compatibility) as well as files used internally in
compilation (like the __ng_typecheck__.ts file).
Previously, shim generation was driven by the `rootFiles` passed to the
compiler as input. These are effectively the `files` listed in the
`tsconfig.json`. Each shim generator (e.g. the `FactoryGenerator`) would
examine the `rootFiles` and produce a list of shim file names which it would
be responsible for generating. These names would then be added to the
`rootFiles` when the program was created.
The fatal flaw here is that `rootFiles` does not always account for all of
the files in the program. In fact, it's quite rare that it does. Users don't
typically specify every file directly in `files`. Instead, they rely on
TypeScript, during program creation, starting with a few root files and
transitively discovering all of the files in the program.
This happens, however, during `ts.createProgram`, which is too late to add
new files to the `rootFiles` list.
As a result, shim generation was only including shims for files actually
listed in the `tsconfig.json` file, and not for the transitive set of files
in the user's program as it should.
This commit completely rewrites shim generation to use a different technique
for adding files to the program, inspired by View Engine's shim generator.
In this new technique, as the program is being created and `ts.SourceFile`s
are being requested from the `NgCompilerHost`, shims for those files are
generated and a reference to them is patched onto the original file's
`ts.SourceFile.referencedFiles`. This causes TS to think that the original
file references the shim, and causes the shim to be included in the program.
The original `referencedFiles` array is saved and restored after program
creation, hiding this little hack from the rest of the system.
The new shim generation engine differentiates between two kinds of shims:
top-level shims (such as the flat module entrypoint file and
__ng_typecheck__.ts) and per-file shims such as ngfactory or ngsummary
files. The former are included via `rootFiles` as before, the latter are
included via the `referencedFiles` of their corresponding original files.
As a result of this change, shims are now correctly generated for all files
in the program, not just the ones named in `tsconfig.json`.
A few mitigating factors prevented this bug from being realized until now:
* in g3, `files` does include the transitive closure of files in the program
* in CLI apps, shims are not really used
This change also makes use of a novel technique for associating information
with source files: the use of an `NgExtension` `Symbol` to patch the
information directly onto the AST object. This is used in several
circumstances:
* For shims, metadata about a `ts.SourceFile`'s status as a shim and its
origins are held in the extension data.
* For original files, the original `referencedFiles` are stashed in the
extension data for later restoration.
The main benefit of this technique is a lot less bookkeeping around `Map`s
of `ts.SourceFile`s to various kinds of data, which need to be tracked/
invalidated as part of incremental builds.
This technique is based on designs used internally in the TypeScript
compiler and is serving as a prototype of this design in ngtsc. If it works
well, it could have benefits across the rest of the compiler.
PR Close#36211
The compiler needs to track the dependencies of a component, including any
NgModules which happen to be present in a component's scope. If an upstream
NgModule changes, any downstream components need to have their templates
re-compiled and re-typechecked.
Previously, the compiler handled this well for the A -> B -> C case where
module A imports module B which re-exports module C. However, it fell apart
in the A -> B -> C -> D case, because previously tracking focused on changes
to components/directives in the scope, and not NgModules specifically.
This commit introduces logic to track which NgModules contributed to a given
scope, and treat them as dependencies of any components within.
This logic also contains a bug, which is intentional for now. It
purposefully does not track transitive dependencies of the NgModules which
contribute to a scope. If it did, using the current dependency system, this
would treat all components and directives (even those not exported into the
scope) as dependencies, causing a major performance bottleneck. Only those
dependencies which contributed to the module's export scope should be
considered, but the current system is incapable of making this distinction.
This will be fixed at a later date.

Add a mechanism to replace file contents for a specific file. This
allows us to write custom test scenarios in code without modifying the
test project.
Since we are no longer mocking the language service host, the file
overwrite needs to happen via the project service.
Project service manages a set of script infos, and overwriting the files
is a matter of updating the relevant script infos.
Note that the actual project service is wrapped inside a Mock Service.
Tests should not have direct access to the project service. All
manipulations should take place via the Mock Service.
The MockService provides a `reset()` method to undo temporary overwrites
after each test.

In order to ease local development, self-signed SSL/TLS certificates are
created when building the preview server Docker image. These
certificates are valid for 365 days. Thus, it is possible for an old

caching intermediate layers.
Previously, this would lead to hard-to-debug failures in the
`aio-health-check` and `aio-verify-setup` checks. Even after finding out
that the failures were caused by an expired certificate, it was not
obvious why that would be the case.
This commit adds an additional check to the `aio-health-check` command
that checks the certificates' expiration dates. This helps surface such
errors. It also prints a more helpful message, prompting the user to
build the Docker image with the `--no-cache` option to fix the problem

Previously, in the `test_aio` CI job, we ran ngcc before building the
app with `yarn build`. This was supposed to have the benefit of taking
advantage of the parallel capabilities of standalone ngcc (vs implicitly
running it via `ng build`).
It turns out that the work done by the standalone ngcc was thrown away
before the `ng build`, resulting in `ng build` having to run ngcc all
over again. This happened because the `yarn build` script (run after the
standalone ngcc step) also runs `yarn install`, which essentially cleans
up `node_modules/`, thus discarding all the work already done by ngcc.
Here is an [example CI job][1], where this can be seen in action:
One can see the "Compiling <some-package> : es2015 as esm2015" logs in
the `yarn --cwd aio ngcc --properties es2015` step (as the standalone
ngcc processes the various entry-points) and then see the same logs in
the `yarn --cwd aio build --progress=false` step (as ngcc has to process
the entry-points all over again).
This commit removes the redundant standalone ngcc run and lets the CLI
handle ngcc via `ng build`. It is possible to instrument the build
process in a way that we can run the standalone ngcc after
`yarn install` and thus take advantage of the performance gains in
parallel mode, but the latest version of the CLI can already run ngcc in
parallel mode as a pre-build step, so this is unnecessary.

This commit adds a new mock host for testing the ivy language service.
Unlike the existing mock_host which mocks the LanguageServiceHost, the

This is because Ivy language service requires an actual Project to
perform operations like adding synthetic typecheck files to the project,
and by extension, to the ts.Program. These requirements make the existing
mock host unsuitable to be reused.
This new testing structure also improves test performance, because the
old mock host copies (it actually creates symlinks, but still that's
relatively expensive due to the sheer number of files involved) all
@angular/* packages along with the typescript package to a temporary
node_modules directory. This is done every time setup() is called.
Instead, this new mock host just loads them from a pre-determined path
in Bazel runfiles.
