Closes #36453

What I did

@storybook/angular-vite accepts any @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular from 2.0.0 up, and storybook init installs ^2.5.2.
Analog versions before 2.7.3 call Angular's private JavaScriptTransformer with its pre-22.2 signature, so on @angular/build 22.2 the second argument lands in the cache slot and every linked Angular bundle hits an uninitialized hash.
This raises the floor to the first Analog release that handles both signatures (2.7.3, which still supports Angular 21).

@angular/build 22.1                       @angular/build 22.2
new JavaScriptTransformer(opts, threads)  new JavaScriptTransformer(opts, cache)
                       ▲                                        ▲
Analog < 2.7.3 passes (opts, 1) ────────────────────────────────┘  → cache = 1 → hash path → crash

The angular-cli-latest--vite---typescript---create CI job fails this way on next today:

■  Build failed with 6 errors:
│  [plugin @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular-optimizer]
│  ./node_modules/@angular/forms/fesm2022/forms.mjs
│  AssertionError: Hash utility must be initialized by awaiting
│  `initializeHash()` before use.

│  at #transform (./node_modules/@angular/build/src/tools/javascript-transformer/javascript-transformer.js:230:57)

Why it started on Sep 30: sandboxes install with Yarn's 7-day npmMinimalAgeGate.
@angular/build 22.2.0 (published Sep 23, 21:37 UTC) cleared the gate on Sep 30, 21:37, while Analog 2.7.3 (Sep 24, 13:04) stays quarantined until Oct 1, 13:04.
In that window ^2.5.2 resolves the newest non-quarantined Analog, 2.7.2, which is the broken pairing above.
For the same reason, raising the floor alone makes the sandbox install fail with All versions satisfying "^2.7.3" are quarantined until Oct 1, 13:04 UTC.
So the angular-vite templates now exempt Analog from the gate, and CI sandbox installs apply each template's minAgeGateExemptions.
Before this, those exemptions only reached the daily template generation, which never sees Analog because storybook init adds it later.

File	Change
code/frameworks/angular-vite/package.json	peer @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular: >=2.0.0 → >=2.7.3, so a stale locked Analog fails at install time instead of at build time
code/core/src/cli/angular/helpers.ts	ANALOG_VITE_PLUGIN_ANGULAR_VERSION: ^2.5.2 → ^2.7.3, used by storybook init and the angular-to-angular-vite automigration
code/lib/cli-storybook/src/sandbox-templates.ts	minAgeGateExemptions: ['@analogjs/vite-plugin-angular'] on the angular-vite templates
scripts/utils/yarn.ts	the CI sandbox install adds the template's minAgeGateExemptions to npmPreapprovedPackages, next to the locally published Storybook packages

The monorepo's own dev dependency stays on ^2.5.2 (resolved 2.6.1), because the workspace builds against Angular 21, where the old API is still correct.

Walkthrough

The Angular Vite CLI version constant and framework peer dependency minimum now require @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular version 2.7.3 or later. Angular Vite sandbox installations also pass template-specific exemptions to package preapproval.

Changes

Angular Vite compatibility and installation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Update the minimum plugin version code/core/src/cli/angular/helpers.ts, code/frameworks/angular-vite/package.json	The CLI version constant changes from ^2.5.2 to ^2.7.3. The peer dependency minimum changes from >=2.0.0 to >=2.7.3.
Add Angular Vite template exemptions code/lib/cli-storybook/src/sandbox-templates.ts	The Angular Vite v21, default, and server-docgen templates add @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular to their minimum-age-gate exemptions. The documentation describes package-family and compatibility-release cases for exemptions.
Pass template exemptions to package preapproval scripts/tasks/sandbox-parts.ts, scripts/utils/yarn.ts, scripts/utils/preapprove-local-packages.ts, scripts/utils/yarn.test.ts	The sandbox install task passes its key to installYarn2. installYarn2 passes that template’s exemptions to preapproveLocallyPublishedPackages, which merges them with existing entries and locally published package patterns. Tests cover the template key and allowlist behavior.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to c29c5

The change raises the Analog plugin minimum to 2.7.3 and lets sandbox installs pick up that release despite the age gate. It is reasonable to merge. Remove the temporary exemption once 2.7.3 passes the seven-day gate.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 31e22

The seven-day dependency age gate remains enabled, but Angular Vite sandboxes gain an ongoing exception for one package rather than only the required compatibility release. Existing lockfiles and the narrowly named package limit exposure, while future matching releases receive less quarantine protection.

Retained concerns

• Low · security · inferred: The newly active Angular Vite exception is package-wide, not limited to the 2.7.3 compatibility release. Future matching releases selected during dependency resolution can consequently bypass the seven-day quarantine. The additive configuration merge also retains the exception in an existing sandbox after its template declaration is removed, unless the configuration is explicitly cleaned up or regenerated.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The directly supported exposure is the sandbox installation and build processes using the three Angular Vite templates, including an existing sandbox retaining the exception. Package publication authority or compromise of the package supply chain would be needed to supply a malicious matching release. Runner privileges and downstream environment exposure are not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The two retained low-severity findings concern the newly approved plugin package. A malicious eligible release could bypass the waiting period when selected for installation and then reach sandbox build tooling. This is conditional supply-chain exposure, not evidence that a malicious release was published or executed.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — Repository-controlled template policy grants a named external package an exception to quarantine. The global age gate remains active, and dependency ranges and preserved lockfiles still constrain selection; neither limits the exception to the single compatibility release. Exact package-pattern matching is delegated to Yarn and was not inspected in this repository.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Additive persistence avoids discarding existing approvals but leaves revocation outside the helper’s lifecycle. Recovery from a failed installation or reversal of the compatibility exception therefore requires explicit cleanup or regeneration to restore quarantine for that package.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Make compatibility exceptions explicitly bounded and revocable: use a version-scoped mechanism if supported, otherwise track an expiry and removal owner, and remove obsolete generated approvals from existing sandbox configuration.

Security Misconfiguration

Reachability: External
Exploitability: Difficult
CWE: CWE-693

After @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular@2.7.3 passes the seven-day age gate, remove this exemption from all three Angular Vite templates. Until then, keep it. The repository documents this package-name exemption for compatibility releases, and @storybook/angular-vite requires @analogjs/vite-plugin-angular >=2.7.3. This is a time-limited CI hardening task, not an active security misconfiguration.
