Signal form .reset() does not clear Angular Material error styling

Beginne mit der verknüpften StackBlitz-Reproduktion und vergleiche signalForm().reset() mit dem Verhalten von @angular/forms/signals und Angular Material mat-form-field. Verfolge, wie reset den Status von touched, dirty und der Validierung aktualisiert; als abgeschlossen gilt die Aufgabe, wenn der Wert zurückgesetzt wird und das Material-Feld nach dem Absenden keine Fehlerdarstellung mehr anzeigt.

Which @angular/* package(s) are the source of the bug?

core, forms

Is this a regression?

No

Description

When using Angular Material form fields (mat-form-field) with signal-based forms (@angular/forms/signals), resetting the form after submission causes the Material input to display error styling (red outline) even though the field should no longer be in a touched or dirty state.

After calling signalForm().reset() on submit, the field value is correctly reset to an empty string. However, the Material form field renders as invalid with error styling applied. According to Angular Material's documented behavior, error styling should only be shown when the control has been touched. Since reset() is expected to clear both the touched and dirty states, the field should return to its pristine, untouched appearance — without any validation error indicators.
