🚀 What's New?

📡 First-Class Angular Signals Support

ngxsmk-gatekeeper is now fully optimized for Angular 17, 18, 19, and 20. We have integrated Signals across all core services for a more synchronous and ergonomic developer experience:

• GatekeeperAgentService: Monitor security status reactively with the status signal.
• ObservabilityService: Real-time stats and connection states are now available as signals.
• ShowcaseService: Synchrously access and bind gallery entries in your templates.
• VisualBuilderService: Modernized state management for a smoother drag-and-drop experience.

🤖 Autonomous Gatekeeper Agent

Meet your new background security partner. The Gatekeeper Agent proactively monitors your app's security posture:

• Proactive Auditing: Automatically scans your configuration for risks using our validation engine.
• Anomaly Detection: Detects traffic spikes and high error rates in real-time.
• Dynamic Mitigation: Supports four modes: monitor, enforce, strict, and panic for varying levels of automated protection.
• Reactive Alerting: Exposes alerts via Signals for easy dashboard integration.

🔍 SEO & Community Overhaul

• SEO Optimized: Improved library metadata and crawlability for search engines.
• LTS Strategy: Officially expanded support for upcoming Angular versions.
• Documentation: Comprehensive new guides for Signals and the Security Agent.

🛠️ Performance & Fixes
