# Zoneless change-detection migration
Working checklist for plan item C6 of the performance journeys plan: move the
renderer (`apps/web`) from zone.js to `provideZonelessChangeDetection()`.
The win is measured with the change-detection tick counters described in
[performance journeys](performance-journeys.md#change-detection-ticks); the
[idle work audit](idle-work-audit-2026-09.md) found the Eager roots that
re-render on every tick. Update this file in the same PR that converts an item.
The inventory was taken on `e8b181fce` (2026-10-04, Angular 22.1.6). Run
`pnpm nx run electron-backend-e2e:test-performance-harness` after editing the
Eager list: `zoneless-migration.spec.ts` fails when the list and the code
disagree, so a new Eager component cannot land unnoticed and a converted one
must be ticked here.
## Starting point
- **OnPush is already the default.** Since Angular 22 an unset
`changeDetection` means OnPush, and the old `Default` strategy is spelled
`ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager`. Only components that set `Eager` are
checked on every tick. `ChangeDetectionStrategy.Default` is not used.
- **Renderer bootstrap.** `apps/web/src/app/app.config.ts` provides
`provideZoneChangeDetection({ eventCoalescing: true })` and
`apps/web/project.json` builds with `"polyfills": ["zone.js"]`.
`apps/remote-control-web` does the same; it is a separate app and outside
this migration unless a step says otherwise.
- **Unit tests already run zoneless.** Every `src/test-setup.ts` (apps/web,
apps/remote-control-web and 24 libs) calls `setupZonelessTestEnv` and loads
`zone.js`/`zone.js/testing` only for `fakeAsync` and `waitForAsync`. A
component that passes its specs is therefore not proof of zone-free
production behavior when the spec calls `fixture.detectChanges()` itself.
- **IPC callbacks never ran in the Angular zone.** `window.electron.on*`
listeners arrive through `contextBridge` and are not zone-patched, so every
one that works today already writes signals or calls `NgZone.run`.
- **Counters before the migration** (macOS, from
[performance journeys](performance-journeys.md#change-detection-ticks)):
`renderer.cdTicksToFirstCard` 20–21 (the one-tick zone.js race),
`renderer.cdTicksIdle30s` 3, `renderer.cdTicksToFirstPage` 22;
`renderer.cdTicksToPlaying` has no recorded run yet.
## PR sequence
1. [ ] Keep `@ngrx/store-devtools` out of production bundles (#1810, open). Not a
zone change; it lowered `renderer.initialBytes` before the migration
starts moving it.
2. [x] This inventory and its guard spec.
3. [ ] Per-project PRs, in this order, each converting the project's Eager
components and fixing its zone-dependent sites while zone.js stays on:
`libs/ui/*`, `libs/workspace/*`, `libs/playlist/*`, `libs/portal/*`,
playback (`libs/ui/playback`, `libs/playlist/m3u/feature-player`),
`apps/web`. Each reports the tick counters before and after and runs the
affected unit and E2E tests.
4. [ ] `provideZonelessChangeDetection()` behind a build-time
`fileReplacements` flag, off by default; all four journeys and the
Electron E2E suite run with it on.
5. [ ] Flag on by default, `zone.js` out of `polyfills`, new tick baselines
(`renderer.cdTicksIdle30s` and any counter that becomes deterministic once
the zone.js race is gone).
## Eager components
66 production files, 67 components (`epg-progress-panel.component.ts` holds
two). Tick an entry by deleting `changeDetection: ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager`
(or setting OnPush) once its template state is signals, signal inputs or
explicitly marked. The guard spec compares the unticked entries with the
files that still contain `ChangeDetectionStrategy.Eager`.

Test-only files that set Eager are not listed; they do not ship. The guard
skips every `*.spec.ts` / `*.test.ts` file with or without a suffix of one
or more segments (`*.spec-stubs.ts`, `*.test-helpers.ts`,
`*.test-data-stubs.ts`, …),
`test-setup.ts` and `test-stubs/` directories.
## Zone-dependent sites
Plain (non-signal) fields read by a template and written from a callback
that is not an Angular template event. Under zone.js the next tick happens to
refresh an Eager view; under zoneless nothing schedules one. Each fix makes
the field a signal (or a `computed`), or writes it through one.
| Done | Site | What depends on the zone | Owning PR |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| [x] | `libs/playlist/m3u/feature-player/src/lib/video-player/video-player.component.ts` `onChannelNumberInput`/`clearChannelNumberInput` | 2 s `window.setTimeout` hides the channel-number overlay through plain `showChannelNumberOverlay`/`channelNumberInput` | playback |
| [x] | same file, `applySettings` and the settings `effect()` | IndexedDB `storage.get(...).subscribe` and an effect assign plain `playerSettings`, which picks the player in the template | playback |
| [ ] | `libs/playlist/shared/ui/src/lib/recent-playlists/playlist-item/playlist-item.component.ts` `checkPortalStatus` | plain `portalStatus` assigned after `await` in `ngOnInit` (PWA only: skipped when source health is supported) | playlist |
| [ ] | `libs/playlist/shared/ui/src/lib/recent-playlists/playlist-info/playlist-info.component.ts` (EPG clear and EPG file pick handlers) | plain `playlist` reassigned after `await` | playlist |
| [ ] | `libs/playlist/import/feature/src/lib/stalker-portal-import/stalker-portal-import.component.ts` (device-id derivation) | `form.patchValue` after `await`; template getters read `control.value`, which is not signal-backed | playlist |
| [ ] | `libs/portal/stalker/feature/src/lib/stalker-live-stream-layout/stalker-live-stream-layout.component.ts` (favorites load) | `favorites` Map filled in a `subscribe` without `markForCheck`; the component is OnPush already, so this is a latent bug today | portal |
| [ ] | `libs/portal/xtream/feature/src/lib/portal-channels-list/portal-channels-list.component.ts` (favorites load) | same pattern; the neighbouring `favoriteMarks.changes$` handler does call `markForCheck` | portal |
| [ ] | same file, programme dialog `afterClosed` | deletes from `epgPrograms`/`currentProgramsProgress` after `await` without marking | portal |
| [ ] | `apps/web/src/app/settings/settings-backup.facade.ts` (backup import) | `change` listener on a detached file input → `hydrateFromStore()`; section templates read `form().value.theme`/`coverSize` | apps/web |
| [ ] | `libs/ui/remote-control/src/lib/remote-control/remote-control.component.ts` | plain `isLoading`/`error`/`status` written after `await` and from a 2 s `setInterval` | only if `apps/remote-control-web` goes zoneless |
## Explicit zone and change-detector calls
They keep working under zoneless (`NgZone` becomes `NoopNgZone`, so `run`
and `runOutsideAngular` just call through). Remove them in the flip PR, not
before: with zone.js on they still matter.
- [ ] `apps/web/src/app/settings/settings-unload-guard.service.ts`: two
`zone.run` calls around the window-close dialog (IPC
`onWindowCloseRequested` and `beforeunload`).
- [x] `libs/ui/playback/src/lib/embedded-mpv-player/embedded-mpv-session-controller.ts`:
`runOutsideAngular(() => setInterval(...))` for the position poll;
`embedded-mpv-session-controller.position.spec.ts` asserts the call and
changes with it.
- [ ] `libs/workspace/dashboard/data-access/src/lib/dashboard-data.service.ts`:
18 `ngZone.run(() => signal.set(...))` calls, all redundant around signal
writes.
- [ ] `libs/workspace/dashboard/data-access/src/lib/dashboard-source-expiry.service.ts`:
one `ngZone.run` around a signal update.
- `ChangeDetectorRef` in `stalker-live-stream-layout.component.ts`
(4 × `markForCheck`, 1 × `detectChanges` before measuring a row) and
`portal-channels-list.component.ts` (3 × `markForCheck`, 2 ×
`detectChanges`): correct under zoneless; replace the Maps with signals in
the portal PR if it stays small.
## Checked and signal-safe
No change needed; recorded so the flag PR knows where to look if a journey
regresses. Embedded MPV and external players are the riskiest paths because
their events arrive over IPC.
- **IPC listeners** (17 registrations): app update status, external player
sessions, window close and window state, player errors, playlist open
requests, embedded MPV sessions, playback history gate, downloads,
recordings, playlist refresh, DB operation and save progress, EPG progress,
playback position updates, channel change and remote-control commands. All
write signals, signal stores or NgRx, or have no UI state.
- **Player libraries** (video.js, mpegts.js, hls.js, artplayer, shaka, native
`<video>`): callbacks bump signals in the control adapters or emit outputs
whose parent handlers write signals.
- **Observers** (13 Intersection/Resize/Mutation observers) and **document
and window listeners** (~40): signals or DOM only. `@HostListener`
bindings are Angular listeners and mark their view.
- **Timers** (~130 `setTimeout`/`setInterval`/rAF/`queueMicrotask`): all
write signals, touch the DOM or focus, or have no UI state, apart from the
two in the table above.
- **Dialogs and snackbars** (20 `afterClosed`/`onAction` sites): signals,
stores, outputs or navigation, apart from the one in the table above.
- No production code uses `NgZone.onStable`, `onMicrotaskEmpty`, `isStable`,
`ApplicationRef.tick()`, `Zone.current` or `ngDoCheck`.
## Build, tests and runtime details
- [ ] `provideServiceWorker(..., { registrationStrategy:
'registerWhenStable:30000' })`: under zoneless "stable" means no pending
tasks. The 30 s bound still registers the worker; check the PWA build in
the flag PR.
- [ ] `change-detection-tick-counter.ts` wraps `ApplicationRef._tick`, which
the zoneless scheduler also calls, so the counters stay comparable.
- [ ] Specs that need zone.js: `fakeAsync` in
`playlist-switcher.component.spec.ts` and `stalker-live-navigation.spec.ts`,
`waitForAsync` in 13 files. They keep `zone.js/testing` until rewritten;
removing zone.js from the build polyfills does not affect them.
- [ ] Unreferenced leftovers to delete in the flip PR:
`apps/web/src/polyfills.ts`, `apps/web/src/polyfills-test.ts`,
`apps/web/src/setup-jest.ts` (no project, tsconfig or Jest config uses
them).
## Measuring a PR
Build `electron-performance` and run the journeys as described in
[performance journeys](performance-journeys.md), then paste
`renderer.cdTicksToFirstCard`, `renderer.cdTicksIdle30s`,
`renderer.cdTicksToFirstPage` and `renderer.cdTicksToPlaying` before and
after. While zone.js is on, removing Eager does not change the number of
ticks, only the work per tick; expect the counters to stay put until the flag
PR and the template work (DOM mutations, profile time) to drop.
