# Angular 20 project instructions

## Conventions
- Standalone components only; no new `NgModule`s. Generate with `ng generate component feature/name`.
- State: signals (`signal`, `computed`, `linkedSignal`) and `input()` / `output()` / `model()` functions instead of `@Input`/`@Output` decorators.
- Templates use built-in control flow (`@if`, `@for` with `track`, `@switch`, `@defer`), not `*ngIf`/`*ngFor`.
- Inject with `inject()` in field initializers rather than constructor parameters.
- Set `changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush` on every component. Assume the app may run zoneless; don't rely on zone.js side effects.
- HTTP: `HttpClient` in a feature service; expose results via `toSignal()` or `httpResource()` where the project already uses it. Unsubscribe with `takeUntilDestroyed()`.
- Forms: typed reactive forms (`FormGroup<{...}>`), validators in the component class.
- Routes are lazy: `loadComponent: () => import(...)`. Guards and resolvers are functions.

## Don't
- Don't use `any`, `subscribe` inside `subscribe`, or manual `ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges()` as a fix.
- Don't touch `angular.json` budgets to make a build pass.

## Before finishing
Run `ng lint`, `ng test --watch=false`, and `ng build`.
