Describe the bug
I am currently upgrading my app to use Angulars new signal api. WritableSignal is working as expected. However computed signals seem to be not working correctly. My computed signals are initialised correctly but are not update if the referenced WritableSignal is updated with .set() or .update(()=>{}) functions. If I convert the WritabelSignal with toObservable() (my current workaorund) things are working as expected.

I am also observing that WritableSignal changes to not always lead to rerendering of the component. When changing the WritableSignal Value in the observable subscription as shown below, I have to call ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges() to update the ui.

To Reproduce
Here is an example computed signal:
public _onSubMenuPage = computed(() => this.navSrv._currentRoute().startsWith('/sub-menu('));

This references:
public _currentRoute = signal('');

which I tried to update with .set() and .update() methods

Expected behavior
I expected the computed signal to be updated when its value changes to a different value than the current one.

Sample project

Additional context
When I convert the WritableSignal to an observable and subscribe to it, I get notfied through changes. This can be considered as a workaround as long as the computed methods is not working.

this._currentRoute$ = toObservable(this.navSrv._currentRoute);

Update: The issue might be related to the fact that I am using the signals in components that reside in different PageRouterOutlets. I can use an effect(()=>void) to update component state but than have to call ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges() in order for the changes to get rendered.

首先使用 _onSubMenuPage 和 _currentRoute 重现 computed signal 示例，然后将直接更新 signal 与 toObservable workaround 进行比较。调查不同 PageRouterOutlets 中的 signal 更新和渲染，包括是否需要 ChangeDetectorRef.detectChanges()。完成的标准是 computed 值能够更新，并且组件无需手动 change detection 即可重新渲染。
