With advancedOptimizations (no class metadata), an import used in a constructor's @Inject(TOKEN) is elided as decorator-only, since compilation removes the decorator. But it was elided even when the file also uses TOKEN as a value elsewhere:

import { SSR_RENDER_STATE } from './ssr';

@Injectable()
class ServerErrorHandler {
  constructor(@Inject(SSR_RENDER_STATE) private state: SsrRenderState) {}
}

export const providers = [{ provide: SSR_RENDER_STATE, useExisting: 'SsrRenderState' }];

The factory gets i1.SSR_RENDER_STATE through a namespace import, but the named import was removed, so providers referenced an undefined SSR_RENDER_STATE and the bundle threw when loaded. The other value uses were collected by a walk that only looked at classes, plain top-level consts and expression statements; an exported const, a function, a block or export default were missed.

Now a name is decorator-only when every value reference to it (from the semantic model) is inside a decorator compilation removes: the reference ids within Angular's constructor parameter decorators and declare properties' decorators. The walk still proposes the candidates; the references confirm them.

test_inject_token_used_elsewhere_in_the_file_is_kept covers an exported const, an exported and a local function, export default, a block and another class's static property; each kept the import only with the change. The existing elision tests pass unchanged.

Thanks! A small follow-up (aliased @Inject) is coming right after this merges.

Follow-up for aliased @Inject (import { Inject as I }) is in #621.
