Research direction
Reproduce the issue with Angular CLI 20.0.3 by running ng new and inspecting the generated package.json, then run npm test and npm ls jasmine-core. Trace the Angular CLI project-generation source that defines the Jasmine and Karma dependencies; done means the declared and runtime versions agree and npm installs only one jasmine-core version.

Description
Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?
Don't known / other
Is this a regression?
Yes
Description
The package.json file generated by ng new includes the dev dependency "jasmine-core": "~5.7.0", but jasmine-core 4.6.1 is also installed and used to run tests in Karma.
Steps to reproduce:
- Install @angular/cli 20.0.3.
- Run
ng new some-nameand accept all the defaults. - Note the jasmine-core dependency in package.json.
- Run
npm testand note the Jasmine version displayed in the browser. - Run
npm ls jasmine-core.
Expected: The versions from steps 3 and 4 agree, and step 5 shows that only a single version of jasmine-core is installed.
Observed: Step 3 and 4 show different major versions, and step 5 shows that two different versions of jasmine-core are installed.
The problem is that karma-jasmine declares a dependency on jasmine-core 4.x. ng new tries to set up the project to use jasmine-core 5.x, but it doesn't add the necessary override.
Note: I'm not an Angular user, but I do maintain Jasmine. I've seen this version mismatch cause a couple of problems. One is that Angular users are occasionally confused about which major version of jasmine-core they're actually using. The other is that it makes jasmine-core download statistics pretty much useless for determining uptake of the latest major version, since an unknown but probably large portion of 5.x downloads are from Angular users who are actually still running 4.x.
