In @app/src/app.ts:
- Around line 202-207: Update the formFocus handoff between showForm and
FormsInspector so each selection is consumed and cleared after the inspector
focuses that form. This ensures selecting the same form again triggers focus and
prevents a remounted inspector from acting on a stale selection.
In @packages/ng-devtools/src/forms-actions.ts:
- Around line 352-366: Replace the duplicated controlPath helper with
controlPathOf from forms.ts in locateElement, then remove controlPath. Ensure
missing controls in arrays or groups produce the empty-path behavior provided by
controlPathOf.
- Around line 580-602: Update the snapshot records in the `snapshot` case to
store `found.root` as the form identity, then have the `restore` case reject a
snapshot whose stored root differs from `found.root` before checking shape or
applying its value.
- Around line 219-226: Update the write path around nodeAt and refusal to
recursively inspect object values for secret descendant keys and bound elements
before writing; refuse the write when any descendant path is secret, while
preserving existing checks for the target path.
In @packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/forms-explain.ts:
- Around line 495-497: Update setup error filtering in the function containing
the setup mapping: restrict errors to args.page when provided, and match
node.key as an escaped whole-word pattern rather than a substring. Preserve the
behavior of including all keys when node.key is absent.

- refuse group writes that include a secret field, keep secrets on restore - restore only into the form a snapshot came from - reuse controlPathOf when locating fields - match setup errors by page and whole word - refocus a form picked again from the component tree

In @packages/ng-devtools/src/forms-actions.ts:
- Line 94: Update secretInside and keepSecrets to traverse nested values without
the fixed depth-12 cutoff, adding cycle protection so cyclic objects terminate
safely. Preserve the secret-field handling for deep group values during both
writes and restore.
- Around line 621-623: Update the restore flow around keepSecrets so hidden and
readonly descendants retain their current values when the restored form value is
written through found.root; merge those values into the restored result or apply
the existing field-state refusal rules before the root write, while still
restoring eligible fields.
- Line 110: Update keepSecrets to preserve current values using the same
field-and-element secret classification as refusal uses for writes; do not rely
only on isSecretKey(key), so password inputs with non-secret field names retain
their current values during restore.
- Line 250: Update the validation around `secretInside(value) ??
secretInside(current)` to inspect affected descendants when the incoming value
is a group; refuse the group write if any descendant is hidden or readonly,
while preserving the existing secret checks.

…ndant - walk the real form fields (no depth limit, cycle and size guarded) before a group write - refuse a group write that would change any protected descendant - restore keeps the current value of every protected field, including password inputs

Inline comments:
In @app/src/pages/forms-field-detail.ts:
- Around line 106-122: Update the effect in the component constructor that calls
load so changes to form().id or node().path clear draft and message before
loading the selected field. Track the previous form/path key to avoid clearing
them when only version changes; do not reset unrelated state.
In @app/src/pages/forms-inspector.ts:
- Around line 350-356: Update the @empty row in the form-fields view so it
displays a message about active filters instead of interpolating filter(), which
can be empty when chip filters remove every row.
In @app/src/pages/forms-report.ts:
- Around line 59-71: Update copyFixture to check whether the extracted fixture
code is empty before writing to the clipboard; if it is, set a failure message
and return without showing “Copied.” or calling the clipboard.
In @packages/ng-devtools/src/devframe.ts:
- Around line 241-251: Update the forms-owners query handler to scan source
files only once per unique owner/property pair, reusing each result for forms
with the same pair. Also add a TTL cache to findFormSource using the same TTL as
listFiles so repeated queries reuse prior lookups.
In @packages/ng-devtools/src/forms-collector.ts:
- Around line 498-509: Update onRejection to redact rejection details using
remembered submitted secret values, and retain the latest SecretSet from
collectForms so it is available to this handler. Ensure those secret values are
used only for redaction and are not included in pushed form events.
In @packages/ng-devtools/src/forms-privacy.ts:
- Around line 82-94: Update redactReason so an element covered by the unmask
marker returns null before password-type and autocomplete checks, preserving the
existing configuration and secret-key checks.
In @packages/ng-devtools/src/forms.ts:
- Around line 858-865: Update redactTree to redact every serialized string field
that may contain a remembered secret, including uncommitted, defaultValue,
modelDrift strings, and string values nested in error params; preserve its
existing redaction of values, messages, disabledReasons, and dom.drift.
In @packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/forms-explain.ts:
- Around line 34-49: Update pickForm in
packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/forms-explain.ts (lines 34–49) to prefer an exact
full-id match, accept a short-id match only when unique, and return the
candidate list for every other ambiguous query, including when args.form is set.
In packages/ng-devtools/src/devframe.ts (lines 826–831), replace form-action’s
inline lookup with a shared resolveForm helper that refuses ambiguous short ids
and reports the full ids. Use the same helper in fill-form in
packages/ng-devtools/src/devframe.ts (lines 857–862) instead of its duplicated
lookup.
In @packages/ng-devtools/src/rpc/forms-lint.ts:
- Around line 148-157: Update the aria-invalid-desync check to account for the
recommended invalid-and-touched state: compute the expected value from
node.status and node.touched, and avoid reporting when ariaInvalid matches
either that value or the existing invalid-only convention.

- reset the field detail draft when another field is selected - clearer empty states and no empty fixture copy - cache source lookups for forms-owners - redact remembered secrets in every serialized string and in submit rejections - honor the unmask marker for password and autocomplete fields - refuse short form ids that match several pages - align aria-invalid-desync with invalid && touched
