Alright, I’ll add it
Adds a no-argument overload to `signal()` so `undefined` is inferred when no initial value is provided, matching the behavior of the `input()` API. ```ts // before name = signal<string | undefined>(undefined); // after — `undefined` is inferred automatically name = signal<string>(); ``` Closes angular#64118
