Angular query: Optimistic updates are not synchronous

Describe the bug

Here's a stackblitz that repro's the issue about 20% of the time (I think it's timing related): https://stackblitz.com/edit/stackblitz-starters-hn17w1mv?file=src%2Fmain.ts,src%2Findex.html

If you click "edit" and change the "whatever" to just "1", then tab out to trigger blur, you'll see the "whatever" show up for 1 frame. I think this is happening because the optimistic update (which should set the title to "1") is not happening until the next frame. So when I set the "isEditingTitle" signal to false, it flickers the old title for 1 frame. I would expect the optimistic update to be immediate and synchronous, like how normal signals behave, so this flicker never happens.

Generally speaking, this can happen whenever you have a UX that let's the user preview an edit before committing it. In this case, the preview is the input text box, and commiting it is blurring. It would be even more noticeable if the input field looked exactly like the non-editing text.

What are people's thoughts on this? Is this not a use case many encounter?

Steps to reproduce

1. Click the "edit" button
2. Change "whatever" to just "w"
3. Press Tab to trigger blur and finish editing.

Expected behavior

20% of the time, you'll see "whatever" show up for 1 frame. Desired behavior: I would expect the optimistic update to immediately take effect, and the text immediately shows "w".
