Since upgrading to v17 from v16 these DI Token values are always null.  \r\n\r\nThis can be seen in the minimal reproduction where all three of APP_BASE_HREF / REQUEST / RESPONSE are null in the console output while running 'ng serve'.  \r\n\r\nIf using @angular-devkit/build-angular:browser instead of @angular-devkit/build-angular:application this problem does not occur. I assume there is a different way to provide dependencies from server.ts now but I have not been able to find any updated documentation on it.\n\n### Please provide a link to a minimal reproduction of the bug\n\nhttps://github.com/Ozzcer/angular-ssr-di-issue\n\n### Please provide the exception or error you saw\n\n```true\nConsole outputs null for all DI Tokens provided in server.ts\n```\n\n\n### Please provide the environment you discovered this bug in (run `ng version`)\n\n```true\nAngular CLI: 17.0.0\r\nNode: 18.17.1\r\nPackage Manager: npm 9.6.7\r\nOS: linux x64\r\n\r\nAngular: 17.0.2\r\n... animations, common, compiler, compiler-cli, core, forms\r\n... platform-browser, platform-browser-dynamic, platform-server\r\n... router\r\n\r\nPackage                         Version\r\n---------------------------------------------------------\r\n@angular-devkit/architect       0.1700.0\r\n@angular-devkit/build-angular   17.0.0\r\n@angular-devkit/core            17.0.0\r\n@angular-devkit/schematics      17.0.0\r\n@angular/cli                    17.0.0\r\n@angular/ssr                    17.0.0\r\n@schematics/angular             17.0.0\r\nrxjs                            7.8.1\r\ntypescript                      5.2.2\r\nzone.js                         0.14.2\n```\n\n\n### Anything else?\n\n_No response_","author":{"url":"https://github.com/Ozzcer","@type":"Person","name":"Ozzcer"},"datePublished":"2023-11-10T13:04:31Z","url":"https://github.com/angular/angular-cli/issues/26323"}
