 ```
 **Why inline?** Angular does not provide a way to inject scripts into the HTML `<head>` at build time. For true FOUC prevention, the script must run immediately as the HTML is parsed—before any content is rendered. External scripts or Angular providers/services run too late to prevent a flash. This is why the script must be copied directly into your `index.html` head.
