'mutate' is fire and forget, so nothing else keeps the application busy while the mutation runs. The pending task was registered from the observer subscription callback, which is batched through the notify manager and therefore runs in a later task than the mutation it reports. Between the 'mutate' call and that first notification the application looks stable, so 'ApplicationRef.whenStable()' resolves while the mutation is still in flight and the result signals still read as idle. Take the pending task in 'mutate' itself and release it once the mutation settles. 'mutateAsync' is unaffected because it hands the caller a promise to await.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe mutation signal now registers an Angular pending task before execution and releases it after settlement. A real-timer test verifies that ChangesAngular mutation stability
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change keeps the application busy during fire-and-forget mutations, but it may release that pending state before the final mutation result is delivered, allowing stability checks to finish while the mutation still appears incomplete. This correctness issue should be fixed before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Synchronize task release with terminal observer notification.
Mutation.execute() settles after dispatching the terminal state, but notifyManager.batchCalls publishes that state in a later task. .finally(releasePendingTask) can therefore let ApplicationRef.whenStable() resolve before resultFromSubscriberSignal receives the terminal result. Add a fast success regression test and release the direct task only after terminal result publication. The current tests flush timers before asserting stability and do not cover this ordering.

Fixes #11176
The problem
injectMutationregisters the Angular pending task from inside the observer subscription callback, which is batched through the notify manager. That callback runs in a later task than themutate()call that started the mutation, so between the two there is no pending task and the application counts as stable.The result is that
ApplicationRef.whenStable()resolves while the mutation is still in flight. The result signals have not been updated at that point either, sostatus()still readsidle.mutate()is fire and forget, so nothing else keeps the application busy for the duration of the mutation.The change
Take the pending task in
mutateitself and release it once the mutation settles.mutateAsyncis left alone. It hands the caller a promise, so the caller already has a way to wait for the result, and wrapping it would mean rebuilding the observer boundmutatethat the result object exposes.Tests
Added a test to
pending-tasks.test.tsthat callsmutate()and then awaitswhenStable(). It fails onmainwithexpected 'idle' to be 'success'and passes here.Whole
@tanstack/angular-query-experimentalsuite is green: 219 tests.Related
The query side has the same batching gap and is covered separately in #9981, #9910 and #10046.
