- Around line 138-167: Update setOutput to accept legacy EventEmitter outputs as
well as OutputEmitterRef instances: replace the narrow OutputEmitterRef
instanceof check with the OutputRef contract or a structural check for a
callable subscribe method, while preserving the existing listener registration
and subscription handling.
In `@packages/angular-table/src/flex-render/renderer.ts`:
- Around line 226-236: Resolve the intended content-effect lifecycle in `#render`
and `#shouldRecreateEntireView`: if the effect must always be recreated, remove
the redundant guard and stop preserving RenderEffectChecked in the render-flags
mask; otherwise change `#shouldRecreateEntireView` to distinguish input-reference
changes from render-function value changes so same-function incompatible-content
renders retain the effect.

This PR revisits the Angular adapter rendering hot paths, primarily
flexRender, to reduce repeated work and per-cell allocations while makingview reuse and dirty checking easier to reason about.
The renderer keeps the explicit flag-based lifecycle, fixes the previously
impossible view-recreation condition, memoizes resolved content, and separates
input-reference changes from signal changes inside render functions.
It also improves dynamic component reuse, component metadata caching,
input/output synchronization, table initialization, and Angular signal
bridging. A repeatable benchmark suite is included for the main rendering
paths.
Slice 1:
flexRenderlifecycle and dirty checkingThe renderer continues to use explicit flags to describe why work is
scheduled:
ViewFirstRender: create the initial view.ContentChanged: recreate the view because the content input changed or theresolved content is incompatible.
PropsReferenceChanged: update the current view with a new contextreference.
Dirty: synchronize compatible content produced by a render function.RenderEffectChecked: distinguish the render-function effect's initialdependency collection from later updates.
The lifecycle changes include:
ContentChangedorViewFirstRender. The previous bitwise condition required both distinct bitsat once and could never succeed.

changes.
Resolved content now has two memoized stages:
content(props)result.primitive/template/component representation.
This prevents the render callback and content mapping from being repeated by
different consumers during the same update.
Slice 2: View compatibility and reuse
Each mounted view now owns an explicit
canReusecheck:TemplateRefflexRenderComponent(...)keyPrimitive embedded views are reused when their value changes. Their
$implicitcontext remains getter-backed and reads the latest memoized contentwhen Angular checks the view.
The getter defensively returns
undefinedif the primitive view is checkedwhile an incompatible replacement is being scheduled. The context itself is
not mutated:
markForCheck()schedules Angular to evaluate the getter again.TemplateRefcontexts use the same getter-backed approach for props and aremarked for checking when the props reference changes.
The view wrappers are simplified around
canReuse,updateProps,dirtyCheck, andunmount, removing state that is no longer needed forcompatibility checks.
Slice 3: Dynamic component identity and reuse
flexRenderComponentnow accepts an optional stable identity:A component instance is reused while both its component type and key are
unchanged. Changing the key explicitly recreates the component.
This is useful when creation-time configuration changes, including:
bindingsdirectivesinjectorInputs and outputs do not affect component identity and are synchronized onto
a reused instance. The key is restricted to
string | number, with typecoverage for valid and invalid values.
Slice 4: Component metadata, inputs, and outputs
Angular component reflection is cached per component type using a
WeakMap.The cached metadata contains:
ComponentMirror.input names.
This avoids calling
reflectComponentTypeand rebuilding allowed-namecollections for every render descriptor.
Input synchronization now:
ComponentRef.setInput.undefinedforwardsundefinedto Angular.without attempting to assign non-input context properties.
Output synchronization now:
component instance, not from template aliases.

destroyed.
The previous per-component
KeyValueDifferinstances are replaced by directinput patching and an explicit output registry, reducing component-level
allocation and bookkeeping overhead.
The expected construction path remains
flexRenderComponent(...). Consumersusing this helper do not need to construct or manage descriptor metadata.
Slice 5: Angular adapter allocation reductions
Outside
flexRender, this PR also removes repeated work from adapterinitialization and signal bridging:

composition.

bench:flex-rendercommand covers:Benchmark comparison against
origin/mainThe same benchmark file was executed on this branch and in an isolated
origin/mainsnapshot atac4f13452, using Vitest 4.1.10, the same installeddependencies, a 500 ms warmup, and a 2-second sampling window.
Higher throughput is better.
origin/mainThe largest gains come from caching component reflection metadata, avoiding
per-instance differs, and reusing compatible primitive/component views. The
two deliberate view-replacement cases showed roughly 5–9% relative margin of
error, so their measured differences should be treated as approximately
neutral.
Absolute benchmark values are environment-dependent. The suite is intended to
provide a repeatable before/after comparison for future renderer changes.
