Angular Component Styles: Scoped by Default
Angular styles are scoped to their component by default, preventing one component's styles from accidentally breaking another. This lets you build reusable UI pieces without style conflicts. The footgun is using `::ng-deep`, which breaks this isolation.
Think of Angular component styles as being in a sealed container. By default, styles for one component won't leak out and affect others, thanks to a process called 'emulated view encapsulation.' This lets you build reusable UI without style conflicts, ensuring a button in a user profile won't clash with a button in a shopping cart. The main footgun is using `::ng-deep`; it pierces this container, making styles global and reintroducing the very conflicts Angular tries to prevent.
