Description
Describe the bug
PR 1085 (4.0.1) has introduced the following issue in angular-virtual which is breaking normal behavior:
RuntimeError: NG0600: Writing to signals is not allowed in a computed or an effect by default. Use allowSignalWrites in the CreateEffectOptions to enable this inside effects.
Broadly speaking computed values derived from angular-tanstack signals are now in error since the notify change causes the virtualizer signal to be set. Evaluating the signal values probably should not have this side effect.
eg top of stack sets the virtualizer signal, bottom is a dervied value

You can see this error in the console of the live example, though in this case it's originating from an effect (and in recent angular version setting signal inside an effect is legal).

Research direction
Start by reproducing the error in the linked Angular infinite-scroll example and inspect the stack entries in tanstack-angular-virtual.mjs and index.js. Compare the behavior introduced by PR 1085, focusing on the notify and computed-value path shown in the trace. Done means the example no longer throws NG0600 during normal signal evaluation.
