+  `injectActivatedRoute()` throws naming the one that did. With the real router present, the double
+  still works as `relativeTo` for `router.createUrlTree`.
+- **One node, no tree.** `root` is the route itself, `parent` / `firstChild` are `null`. For
+  `route.parent.params` patch that member with `mockReadonlyProp`, or use `RouterTestingHarness`.
+- **No `title`, no navigation, no input binding** — `title` emits `undefined`, `Router.navigate`
+  does not move it (the setters do), and `withComponentInputBinding()` is the outlet's job
