feat(core): move provideExperimentalCheckNoChangesForDebug to provideCheckNoChangesConfig (angular#60906)

atscott · mmalerba · commit e711f99d81ea · 2025-04-24T13:04:27.000-07:00
This commit makes several changes changes to the `provideExperimentalCheckNoChangesForDebug` API: * Rename it * Promote to dev preview * Apply the exhaustive behavior to _all_ checkNoChanges runs * Remove `useNgZoneOnStable` option. This wasn't found to be generally more useful than `interval` fixes angular#45612 BREAKING CHANGE: `provideExperimentalCheckNoChangesForDebug` has several breaking changes: * It is renamed to `provideCheckNoChangesConfig` * The behavior applies to _all_ checkNoChanges runs * The `useNgZoneOnStable` option is removed. This wasn't found to be generally more useful than `interval` PR Close angular#60906
