Code Review

This pull request downgrades the @angular/common dependency. While automated dependency updates are helpful, downgrades should be carefully reviewed due to potential compatibility and security concerns. It's important to understand the reason for this downgrade and ensure that it doesn't negatively impact the application.

Summary of Findings

• Dependency version downgrade: This PR downgrades the @angular/common dependency from version 15.0.0 to 12.2.17. This is a significant version difference and may introduce compatibility issues with other Angular dependencies or application code. It's crucial to verify that this downgrade doesn't break existing functionality or introduce new bugs.
• Potential security implications: Downgrading to an older version of @angular/common may expose the application to known security vulnerabilities that have been addressed in later versions. It's important to assess the security implications of this downgrade and ensure that appropriate measures are taken to mitigate any potential risks.

Merge Readiness

Due to the potential compatibility and security implications of downgrading the @angular/common dependency, I recommend that this pull request not be merged until the following issues are addressed:

• The reason for the downgrade is clearly documented.
• A thorough assessment of compatibility and security implications is performed.
• Any necessary code changes are made to ensure compatibility with the older version.
• Testing is conducted to verify that the application functions correctly after the downgrade.

I am unable to directly approve this pull request, and other reviewers should carefully consider the above points before approving it.
