Description
### Is this a regression?
- [ ] Yes, this behavior used to work in the previous version
### The previous version in which this bug was not present was
_No response_
### Description
When defining the density via mat.theme, e.g.
```
@include mat.theme(
(
color: (
theme-type: light,
primary: mat.$azure-palette,
tertiary: mat.$blue-palette,
),
typography: Roboto,
density: (
scale: 0,
),
)
);
```
the button height is 40px (`--mdc-text-button-container-height`).
However, using the `mat.all-component-densities(0)` mixin results in button height equals to 36px.
Similar issue applies to other densities - setting the density through the mixin results in different height values than setting it through the `mat.theme` mixin.
### Reproduction
StackBlitz link: https://stackblitz.com/edit/czrubf43?file=src%2Fstyles.scss
Steps to reproduce:
1. inspect the button height without setting the density. Height is 40px
2. set the density height with the dropdown to 0. Height changes to 36px.
changing density through the dropdown adds respectively classes to the body: .density0, .density-1 ... .density-5
the scss for those is (see styles.scss)
```
.body {
&.density0 {
@include mat.all-component-densities(0);
}
...
&.density-5 {
@include mat.all-component-densities(-5);
}
}
```
### Expected Behavior
densities (component heights) set through `mat.all-component-densities(0)` should be the same when set through
`mat.theme((density: 0))`
### Actual Behavior
densities (component heights) set through `mat.all-component-densities(0)` are different when set through
`mat.theme((density: 0))`
### Environment
- Angular: 19.2.5
- CDK/Material: 19.2.5
- Browser(s): Chrome
- Operating System (e.g. Windows, macOS, Ubuntu): macOS

Research direction
Start with the StackBlitz reproduction and its styles.scss, then compare the CSS generated by mat.all-component-densities(0) with the density configuration passed to mat.theme. Check the button height and corresponding density values for 0 and the other scales; done means both configuration paths produce the same component heights.
