Switch to esbuild-based application builder - #610
Merged
Conversation
Replace webpack browser builder with esbuild application builder for faster builds and better tree-shaking. Convert environment files from require() to ESM import, delete polyfills.ts (zone.js now in angular.json), remove webpack-only build options, update deploy workflows for new dist/browser/ output path, and update tsconfig for ES2022 modules with bundler resolution.

The application builder's proxy config loader requires jsonc-parser, which isn't included as a transitive dependency in @angular-devkit/ build-angular 18.x. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
