# Angular v21 Host Binding Typecheck

## Purpose

Review Angular 21 host binding type checking.

## When to Use

- Components or directives use `@HostBinding`.
- Host metadata exists.
- The app is stable on Angular 21.

## When Not to Use

- The app has no host bindings.
- The app is still in a version hop.

## Required Inputs

- host binding code
- directive metadata
- inherited host bindings
- tests for affected components

## Procedure

1. Identify host-bound values.
2. Fix type errors explicitly.
3. Validate rendered state and tests.

## Do

- Keep host binding types explicit.
- Validate inherited bindings.

## Do Not

- Do not hide errors behind `any`.
- Do not mix this with the version hop.

## Review Checklist

- [ ] Host binding types are correct.
- [ ] Inherited bindings are correct.
- [ ] Tests pass.

## Expected Output

1. Host binding summary.
2. Type fixes.
3. Test result.

## Exit Criteria

- Host binding risk is explicit.
