What and why

Two panel bugs from the 1.0 follow-up trackers.

Components: a guessed source location shown as certain (#366)
When the page gives no debugInfo, sourceFor matched classes by name and fell back to the first match even when the selector differed. The header then linked that file as if it were exact.

  • New sourceCandidates(node): classes with the same name, narrowed to those whose selector is the host tag when any match.
  • With debugInfo: unchanged, an exact link.
  • With one candidate: a Likely pill, hidden text for screen readers (", matched by class name:"), and a title.
  • With several: "Not certain: N source files define X", listing every file. Open source then sends no file, so the extension opens the class itself rather than a guess. Show … in Forms only appears for a single or exact candidate.
  • components.md describes Likely and Not certain.

Routes: outlet nesting shown only by indent (#370, WCAG 1.3.1)
Nested outlet rows showed depth only with padding-left. Each nested row now has visually hidden text such as "level 2, inside Shell in the primary outlet,", following the Active routes table's row.nesting pattern.

extension/ui is rebuilt in its own commit. Both changelog lines are under ## 1.0.0.

Refs #366, Refs #370

How it was verified

  • pnpm commit:check, pnpm format:check, pnpm typecheck (0 errors; existing NG8107 warnings only)
  • pnpm test:panel: 865 passed. 4 of the 5 new tests fail on the old pages:
    • component-tree-source-guess.test.ts: exact location, selector-preferred Likely, single Likely, several candidates;
    • router-panels.test.ts: outlet nesting announced across three levels.
  • pnpm test:axe: every view, dark and light. The static report has no live tree, so a jsdom axe run (not committed) also checked the Likely, Not certain and nested-outlet states: no violations.
  • pnpm docs:build
  • pnpm extension:build, with extension/ui committed

Notes for reviewers

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved source-location matching when debug information is unavailable. Likely matches are labeled, and multiple candidates are shown as uncertain.
    • Added screen-reader descriptions that clarify the nesting of routes and outlets.

Without Angular's debug info, the Components detail header took the
first source scan class with the same name, even with another selector,
and showed its file as if it were exact. It now prefers the classes
whose selector is the host tag, marks a single match as Likely, and
lists every candidate under Not certain when several remain. Open
source no longer sends a guessed file in that case, so the extension
opens the class itself. Exact debug info locations are unchanged.

The Outlets list in the Routes tab showed nesting only with padding.
Each nested outlet now has visually hidden text with its level and
parent, as the Active routes table already does (WCAG 1.3.1).

Refs #366, #370
Rebuild extension/ui from app for the Components source guess and the Routes outlet nesting fixes.

Explain Change →

Walkthrough

The Components detail view now distinguishes exact source locations from inferred candidates. The Routes tab adds screen-reader descriptions for nested outlets.

Changes: Component source matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Resolve and display source candidates
app/src/pages/component-tree.ts
Source paths are normalized before comparison. When debug information is unavailable, same-class source candidates are filtered by host-tag selector when possible. The view marks a single candidate “Likely” and lists multiple candidates as uncertain.
Validate and document source matching
app/src/__tests__/component-tree-source-guess.test.ts, apps/docs/src/content/inspectors/components.md, packages/devtools/CHANGELOG.md, extension/ui/index.html, extension/ui/assets/browser-agent-rpc-KH4HHvHf-COs_cJTU.js
Tests cover exact, likely, and ambiguous matches, including the source-opening request. Documentation and the changelog describe the matching behavior. Extension asset references now use the updated bundle name.

Outlet accessibility

Layer / File(s) Summary
Describe nested outlets to screen readers
app/src/pages/route-current.ts, app/src/__tests__/router-panels.test.ts, packages/devtools/CHANGELOG.md
Outlet rows include visually hidden descriptions of nesting level and parent outlet. A test checks descriptions for root and nested outlets.

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 20.00% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 10 functions across 5 files. (3 skipped: 3 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

"Workers Builds: angular-devtools" fails here for the same reason as on every PR and on main: a leftover Cloudflare Worker build (#431). It lives in the Cloudflare dashboard, so nothing in this repo can fix it. #463 tracks it.

Review comments at @apps/docs/src/content/inspectors/components.md:
- Line 67: Update the selected-instance header description to explain that when
no scanned class selector matches the host tag, the scan keeps all class-name
matches. Split the description into short, condition-first sentences,
distinguishing exact Angular debug info, selector-match and no-match fallback
behavior, and the resulting **Likely** or **Not certain** locations; preserve
the existing source-opening and missing-location details.
- Line 534: Update the production-build FAQ description to explain that selector
filtering can narrow class-name matches to components whose selector matches the
host tag, and that a single remaining candidate is marked Likely while multiple
remaining candidates are listed as Not certain; retain the existing behavior for
no candidates.

The Components page now says that every class with the name is kept when none has the host tag as its selector, and the FAQ names both Likely and Not certain.
