- Skip calling `this.readFile(filename)` in `host.readResource(filename)` when `!hasTemplateExtension(filename)` so external component stylesheets (`styleUrl` / `styleUrls`) are not read from disk on the Angular compiler worker thread and serialized over the worker `MessagePort` only to be ignored by `transformStylesheet`. - Only short-circuit empty `data` in `host.transformResource(data, context)` for inline styles (`!context.resourceFile`) so external stylesheets still proceed to `transformStylesheet`.

Code Review
This pull request optimizes resource loading and transformation in the Angular compiler host. Specifically, readResource is updated to only read template files, bypassing external stylesheets which are bundled during transformResource. Additionally, transformResource is adjusted to only short-circuit empty inline styles, ensuring empty external stylesheets are still processed. Unit tests have been added to verify these changes. As there are no review comments, I have no feedback to provide.
