Review Comment:
   @mcgilman, huge thanks for your contribution with this PR! It's fantastic to 
witness the community coming together to enhance the UI.
   
   I noticed that you're incorporating rxjs and leveraging Angular 16+—great 
choices! I wanted to share a resource with you that delves into a new feature 
of Angular 16, which I believe could significantly benefit our UI modernization 
efforts: [Link to the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iA6iyoantuo).
   
   In my opinion, Angular signals bring a more developer-friendly approach to 
the table:
   
   - Using signals helps avoid various pitfalls associated with an exclusive 
rxjs approach, making it easier for new developers to contribute to Nifi. 
Issues like the diamond problem, hot/cold observables, multiple change 
detection cycles for transitional states, and debugging complex combinations of 
observable streams can be alleviated.
   - Signal syntax is more concise, and allows for the removal of the necessity 
to create private Subjects—followed by creating public Observables, each 
requiring an unsubscribe strategy—which reduces the overall amount of code in 
the codebase.
   - If we can eliminate rxjs entirely, it means fewer dependencies to 
maintain, reducing the potential for CVE and simplifying version upgrades.
   
   I'm eager to hear your thoughts and insights on this suggestion. While I 
haven't had the chance to use Angular signals extensively, I've been exploring 
opportunities to do so, and this situation seems particularly applicable. 
Looking forward to collaborating on this!
