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

Comienza con la reproducción vinculada de StackBlitz y compara signalForm().reset() con el comportamiento de @angular/forms/signals y Angular Material mat-form-field. Rastrea cómo reset actualiza los estados touched, dirty y de validación; se considera terminado cuando el valor se restablece y el campo de Material deja de mostrar el estilo de error después del envío.

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.
