Issue number: resolves#30804 --------- ## What is the current behavior? Currently, on `major-9.0`, `@ionic/angular` still defaulted to Zone.js. The `ng add` schematic registered `provideZoneChangeDetection()`, and `zone.js` was a required peer dependency on both `@ionic/angular` and `@ionic/angular-server`. Angular 21 bootstraps zoneless out of the box, so Ionic was actively opting new apps back into Zone.js. ## What is the new behavior? Ionic 9 now defaults to zoneless change detection while keeping Zone.js as a supported opt-in. The `ng add` schematic no longer registers `provideZoneChangeDetection()`, and `zone.js` is now an optional peer dependency on both `@ionic/angular` and `@ionic/angular-server`. ## Does this introduce a breaking change? - [X] Yes - [ ] No Apps that want to keep Zone.js on Angular 21 must opt back in with `provideZoneChangeDetection()` AND keep `import 'zone.js'` in their polyfills (Angular 21's default scaffold omits it). Under zoneless, state updated from async callbacks Angular doesn't wrap needs a signal or a `markForCheck()` call. Template bindings, `@HostListener`, reactive forms, and synchronous lifecycle-hook state are unaffected. Angular 18 through 20 keep Angular's Zone.js default and need no change. BREAKING.md is updated with the full migration path. ## Other information - Test apps run dual-mode for coverage: ng21 is zoneless, ng18-20 stay on Zone.js. Shared `base/` test pages use the new `assertZoneContext()` helper (`base/src/app/zone-assert.util.ts`), which asserts in-zone only when Zone.js is present, so the same pages pass in both modes.
