+---
+
+# Angular Production Patterns
+
+Production-ready patterns for Angular 21+ applications with zoneless change detection.
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### Signal-Based Reactivity
+
+```typescript
+import { Component, signal, computed, effect } from '@angular/core';
+
+@Component({
+  selector: 'app-counter',
+  standalone: true,
+  template: `
+    <button (click)="increment()">
+      {{ count() }} × 2 = {{ doubled() }}
+    </button>
+  `
+})
+export class CounterComponent {
+  count = signal(0);
+  doubled = computed(() => this.count() * 2);
+
+  constructor() {
+    effect(() => console.log('Count changed:', this.count()));
+  }
+
+  increment() {
+    this.count.update(n => n + 1);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Key APIs
+
+| API | Purpose |
+|-----|---------|
+| `signal()` | Reactive state declaration |
+| `computed()` | Derived values (auto-tracked) |
+| `effect()` | Side effects on signal changes |
+| `input()` | Component inputs (replaces @Input) |
+| `output()` | Component outputs (replaces @Output) |
+| `model()` | Two-way bindable signals |
+
+## Modern Control Flow
+
+```html
+<!-- Conditionals -->
+@if (isLoading()) {
+  <app-spinner />
+} @else if (hasError()) {
+  <app-error [message]="error()" />
+} @else {
+  <app-content [data]="data()" />
+}
+
+<!-- Loops with tracking -->
+@for (item of items(); track item.id) {
+  <app-item [data]="item" />
+} @empty {
+  <p>No items found</p>
+}
+
+<!-- Switch -->
+@switch (status()) {
+  @case ('pending') { <app-pending /> }
+  @case ('active') { <app-active /> }
+  @default { <app-unknown /> }
+}
+```
+
+## Standalone Architecture
+
+```typescript
+// No NgModules - components declare their dependencies
+@Component({
+  selector: 'app-dashboard',
+  standalone: true,
+  imports: [CommonModule, RouterModule, MetricsComponent],
+  template: `...`
+})
+export class DashboardComponent {}
+
+// Bootstrapping
+bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
+  providers: [
+    provideRouter(routes),
+    provideHttpClient(withInterceptors([authInterceptor]))
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+## Component I/O (Angular 21+)
+
+```typescript
+@Component({...})
+export class UserCardComponent {
+  // Input signal (required)
+  user = input.required<User>();
+
+  // Input with default
+  showAvatar = input(true);
+
+  // Output
+  selected = output<User>();
+
+  // Two-way binding
+  isExpanded = model(false);
+
+  onSelect() {
+    this.selected.emit(this.user());
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Performance Targets
+
+| Metric | Target |
+|--------|--------|
+| LCP | < 2.5s |
+| INP | < 200ms |
+| CLS | < 0.1 |
+| Initial Bundle | < 250KB |
+
+## When NOT to Use Angular
+
+- Simple interactivity → Vanilla JS
+- Static marketing site → Astro/11ty
+- < 100KB JS budget → Svelte or Web Components
+- React ecosystem dependency → React
+
+## Signal Testing Patterns
+
+| Pattern | Use Case |
+|---------|----------|
+| PLATFORM_ID mocking | Prevent constructor side effects in SSR tests |
+| WritableSignal with `.set()` | Control signal state without reassignment |
+| NG0100 prevention | Initialize signals before `detectChanges()` |
+
+## Signal-Based Service Pattern
+
+Private writable signal → public readonly → update in `tap()` → component injects and reads:
+
+```typescript
+@Injectable({ providedIn: 'root' })
+export class AnalyticsService {
+  private _summary = signal<Summary | null>(null);
+  readonly summary = this._summary.asReadonly();
+
+  private _loading = signal(false);
+  readonly loading = this._loading.asReadonly();
+
+  getSummary() {
+    this._loading.set(true);
+    return this.http.get<Summary>('/api/analytics/summary').pipe(
+      tap(data => {
+        this._summary.set(data);
+        this._loading.set(false);
+      }),
+      catchError(err => {
+        this._loading.set(false);
+        throw err;
+      })
+    );
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Component usage:**
+```typescript
+@Component({...})
+export class DashboardComponent {
+  private analytics = inject(AnalyticsService);
+  summary = this.analytics.summary;
+  loading = this.analytics.loading;
+}
+```
+
+**Pattern:** Matches AuthService pattern for consistency across services.
+
+See `examples.md` for full testing code patterns.
+
+See `reference.md` for component libraries.

+# Angular Reference
+
+Detailed patterns and component library guidance for Angular 21+.
+
+## Zoneless Change Detection (Default in v21)
+
+```typescript
+// No Zone.js needed - signals trigger updates automatically
+bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
+  providers: [
+    // Zoneless is default in Angular 21+
+    // Only add this if you need Zone.js for legacy code:
+    // provideZoneChangeDetection()
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Smaller bundle (no Zone.js ~100KB)
+- Predictable change detection
+- Better debugging (no Zone.js stack traces)
+- Signals automatically schedule updates
+
+## Dependency Injection
+
+```typescript
+// Modern inject() function (preferred)
+@Component({...})
+export class UserService {
+  private http = inject(HttpClient);
+  private router = inject(Router);
+}
+
+// Constructor injection (still valid)
+constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
+```
+
+## HTTP Client Patterns
+
+```typescript
+// Functional interceptors (Angular 21+)
+export const authInterceptor: HttpInterceptorFn = (req, next) => {
+  const token = inject(AuthService).getToken();
+
+  if (token) {
+    req = req.clone({
+      setHeaders: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` }
+    });
+  }
+
+  return next(req);
+};
+
+// Registration
+provideHttpClient(
+  withInterceptors([authInterceptor, loggingInterceptor])
+)
+```
+
+## Resource API (Async Data)
+
+```typescript
+// Signal-based async data loading
+@Component({...})
+export class UsersComponent {
+  private usersService = inject(UsersService);
+
+  searchQuery = signal('');
+
+  usersResource = resource({
+    request: () => ({ query: this.searchQuery() }),
+    loader: async ({ request }) => {
+      return this.usersService.search(request.query);
+    }
+  });
+
+  // In template:
+  // @if (usersResource.isLoading()) { ... }
+  // @if (usersResource.hasValue()) { ... }
+  // @if (usersResource.error()) { ... }
+}
+```
+
+## Component Libraries Comparison
+
+| Library | Cost | Components | Best For |
+|---------|------|------------|----------|
+| **PrimeNG** | Free (MIT) | 80+ | B2B dashboards, forms |
+| **Kendo UI** | $1,028+/dev/year | 110+ | Enterprise, data grids |
+| **Angular Material** | Free | ~40 | Material Design apps |
+
+## Reactive Forms with Signals
+
+```typescript
+import { FormBuilder, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
+
+@Component({
+  standalone: true,
+  imports: [ReactiveFormsModule],
+  template: `
+    <form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
+      <input formControlName="email" />
+      @if (form.controls.email.errors?.['required']) {
+        <span class="error">Email is required</span>
+      }
+      <button type="submit" [disabled]="form.invalid">Submit</button>
+    </form>
+  `
+})
+export class LoginComponent {
+  private fb = inject(FormBuilder);
+
+  form = this.fb.group({
+    email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
+    password: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(8)]]
+  });
+
+  onSubmit() {
+    if (this.form.valid) {
+      console.log(this.form.value);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Router Patterns
+
+```typescript
+// Route configuration
+export const routes: Routes = [
+  { path: '', component: HomeComponent },
+  {
+    path: 'dashboard',
+    loadComponent: () => import('./dashboard/dashboard.component')
+      .then(m => m.DashboardComponent),
+    canActivate: [authGuard]
+  },
+  { path: '**', component: NotFoundComponent }
+];
+
+// Functional guard
+export const authGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {
+  const auth = inject(AuthService);
+  const router = inject(Router);
+
+  if (auth.isAuthenticated()) {
+    return true;
+  }
+
+  return router.createUrlTree(['/login'], {
+    queryParams: { returnUrl: state.url }
+  });
+};
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```typescript
+// Global error handler
+@Injectable()
+export class GlobalErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler {
+  private snackBar = inject(MatSnackBar);
+
+  handleError(error: Error) {
+    console.error('Unhandled error:', error);
+    this.snackBar.open('An error occurred', 'Dismiss', {
+      duration: 5000
+    });
+  }
+}
+
+// Provider
+{ provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: GlobalErrorHandler }
+```

+# Angular Reference
+
+Detailed patterns and component library guidance for Angular 21+.
+
+## Zoneless Change Detection (Default in v21)
+
+```typescript
+// No Zone.js needed - signals trigger updates automatically
+bootstrapApplication(AppComponent, {
+  providers: [
+    // Zoneless is default in Angular 21+
+    // Only add this if you need Zone.js for legacy code:
+    // provideZoneChangeDetection()
+  ]
+});
+```
+
+**Benefits:**
+- Smaller bundle (no Zone.js ~100KB)
+- Predictable change detection
+- Better debugging (no Zone.js stack traces)
+- Signals automatically schedule updates
+
+## Dependency Injection
+
+```typescript
+// Modern inject() function (preferred)
+@Component({...})
+export class UserService {
+  private http = inject(HttpClient);
+  private router = inject(Router);
+}
+
+// Constructor injection (still valid)
+constructor(private http: HttpClient) {}
+```
+
+## HTTP Client Patterns
+
+```typescript
+// Functional interceptors (Angular 21+)
+export const authInterceptor: HttpInterceptorFn = (req, next) => {
+  const token = inject(AuthService).getToken();
+
+  if (token) {
+    req = req.clone({
+      setHeaders: { Authorization: `Bearer ${token}` }
+    });
+  }
+
+  return next(req);
+};
+
+// Registration
+provideHttpClient(
+  withInterceptors([authInterceptor, loggingInterceptor])
+)
+```
+
+## Resource API (Async Data)
+
+```typescript
+// Signal-based async data loading
+@Component({...})
+export class UsersComponent {
+  private usersService = inject(UsersService);
+
+  searchQuery = signal('');
+
+  usersResource = resource({
+    request: () => ({ query: this.searchQuery() }),
+    loader: async ({ request }) => {
+      return this.usersService.search(request.query);
+    }
+  });
+
+  // In template:
+  // @if (usersResource.isLoading()) { ... }
+  // @if (usersResource.hasValue()) { ... }
+  // @if (usersResource.error()) { ... }
+}
+```
+
+## Component Libraries Comparison
+
+| Library | Cost | Components | Best For |
+|---------|------|------------|----------|
+| **PrimeNG** | Free (MIT) | 80+ | B2B dashboards, forms |
+| **Kendo UI** | $1,028+/dev/year | 110+ | Enterprise, data grids |
+| **Angular Material** | Free | ~40 | Material Design apps |
+
+## Reactive Forms with Signals
+
+```typescript
+import { FormBuilder, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
+
+@Component({
+  standalone: true,
+  imports: [ReactiveFormsModule],
+  template: `
+    <form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
+      <input formControlName="email" />
+      @if (form.controls.email.errors?.['required']) {
+        <span class="error">Email is required</span>
+      }
+      <button type="submit" [disabled]="form.invalid">Submit</button>
+    </form>
+  `
+})
+export class LoginComponent {
+  private fb = inject(FormBuilder);
+
+  form = this.fb.group({
+    email: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.email]],
+    password: ['', [Validators.required, Validators.minLength(8)]]
+  });
+
+  onSubmit() {
+    if (this.form.valid) {
+      console.log(this.form.value);
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Router Patterns
+
+```typescript
+// Route configuration
+export const routes: Routes = [
+  { path: '', component: HomeComponent },
+  {
+    path: 'dashboard',
+    loadComponent: () => import('./dashboard/dashboard.component')
+      .then(m => m.DashboardComponent),
+    canActivate: [authGuard]
+  },
+  { path: '**', component: NotFoundComponent }
+];
+
+// Functional guard
+export const authGuard: CanActivateFn = (route, state) => {
+  const auth = inject(AuthService);
+  const router = inject(Router);
+
+  if (auth.isAuthenticated()) {
+    return true;
+  }
+
+  return router.createUrlTree(['/login'], {
+    queryParams: { returnUrl: state.url }
+  });
+};
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+```typescript
+// Global error handler
+@Injectable()
+export class GlobalErrorHandler implements ErrorHandler {
+  private snackBar = inject(MatSnackBar);
+
+  handleError(error: Error) {
+    console.error('Unhandled error:', error);
+    this.snackBar.open('An error occurred', 'Dismiss', {
+      duration: 5000
+    });
+  }
+}
+
+// Provider
+{ provide: ErrorHandler, useClass: GlobalErrorHandler }
+```

+# 0008 — Angular for the overlay frontend
+
+- **Status:** Accepted
+- **Date:** 2026-05-07
+
+## Context and problem statement
+
+`PROJECT_CONTEXT.md` explicitly deferred the overlay framework choice to Stage 2, noting that Vanilla TypeScript + Lit "is likely a better fit" for bundle size and Twitch review simplicity. The overlay app was scaffolded with Angular as a placeholder. A decision is required before building any real overlay components.
+
+## Decision drivers
+
+- **Bundle size.** Twitch reviews extensions manually; a smaller bundle reduces scrutiny risk and load time over arbitrary stream content.
+- **Developer velocity.** Familiarity with a framework dominates iteration speed, especially for a solo build.
+- **Component model fit.** The overlay has three display states and a PubSub subscription — straightforward enough for any framework.
+- **Existing scaffold.** The Angular app already exists in the workspace; switching adds setup cost with no immediate payoff.
+
+## Considered options
+
+1. **Angular.** Full framework; already scaffolded; developer is expert-level.
+2. **Lit.** Web-component library; ~15–20 KB; closer to the platform.
+3. **Vanilla TypeScript (hand-rolled).** Minimal; total control; no dependency; highest maintenance burden for reactivity.
+
+## Decision outcome
+
+**Chosen: Angular.**
+
+The developer is very familiar with Angular and unfamiliar with Lit. Velocity matters more than the marginal bundle-size improvement. Angular's production build with `@angular/build` treeshakes aggressively; the overlay's initial budget is set to 1 MB error / 500 KB warning in `project.json`, which is comfortably achievable. The three overlay states map naturally to standalone Angular components with signals for reactive state.
+
+## Consequences
+
+### Positive
+
+- No framework ramp-up time; patterns (signals, standalone components, `HttpClient`, RxJS) are immediately available.
+- `@angular/build` produces well-optimised production bundles with differential loading and full treeshaking.
+- Existing workspace tooling (`@nx/angular`, ESLint, Vitest via `vitest-angular`) works without additional configuration.
+
+### Negative
+
+- Baseline bundle is larger than Lit or vanilla (~120–200 KB gzipped vs ~15–20 KB). Mitigate with lazy routes if the expanded view grows significantly.
+- If Twitch introduces strict size limits in a future review cycle, migrating is non-trivial.
+
+### Neutral
+
+- Revisit if the production bundle consistently exceeds 400 KB gzipped after Stage 2 is complete. At that point, incremental Lit migration (replacing individual components) is feasible without a full rewrite.
