Research direction

Start by reading the shared-cache work in #27 and locating ngp's defineCacheKeyGenerator and linker cache handling. Check how returning false for app modules routes them through ngp's cache, then trace the linked-library path and the existing Vitest patch. Done means linked libraries use ngp's cache across projects, with coverage for the Vitest setup described in the issue.

Description

feature

Part of #27.

Problem

In Vitest, ngp leaves linked libraries to Vitest's own module cache, and Vitest keys every entry on the project. @angular/* and every other linked library is linked again in each project. Vitest has no key without the project, which is why we patch Vitest today.

Proposed change

Return false for linked libraries too in ngp's defineCacheKeyGenerator, as for app modules, and serve them from ngp's cache. Linker output depends only on the file and the linker version, so it's the easiest part to share.

Part of the shared-cache work in #27.

Setup: ngp 0.3.0, @angular/compiler/compiler-cli 22.3.0-next.4, Vite 8, Vitest 5.1.0 (pool: 'forks'), a Nx monorepo with 1,035 Angular projects, one Vitest config each, specs written for TestBed under JIT (Analog).
