A component constructor parameter decorated with a string token, @Inject('API_URL'), compiled to ɵɵinvalidFactoryDep(index), so creating the component threw at runtime. Directives, pipes and injectables already injected the string.

Like ngtsc, the component factory now injects the string itself, with the parameter's other flags:

@Component({ selector: 'a-cmp', template: '' })
export class ACmp {
  constructor(@Inject('API_URL') url: string, @Optional() @Self() @Inject('FLAGS') flags: string[]) {}
}

// before
return new (__ngFactoryType__ || ACmp)(i0.ɵɵinvalidFactoryDep(0), i0.ɵɵinvalidFactoryDep(1));
// after, as @angular/compiler-cli 21.0.1 compiles it
return new (__ngFactoryType__ || ACmp)(i0.ɵɵdirectiveInject('API_URL'), i0.ɵɵdirectiveInject('FLAGS', 10));

tests/inject_string_token_test.rs checks the component, directive, pipe and injectable factories against ngc's output for the same classes; the component case fails without the change.
