What changes are you suggesting?

The proposed command to start the development server (see, first link above): ...

pnpm run dev

... fails because the generated package.json doesn't include a dev script when creating a brand new Workers + Angular app using the command shown in the second link above (up to today: Wednesday, April 23rd 2025):

pnpm create cloudflare@latest my-angular-app --framework=angular --platform=workers

---

The possible alternative would be the start script (pnpm run build && wrangler dev) which lacks the ability of rebuilding the Angular application after file changes. This might be a limitation of the Angular CLI dev-server builder which encapsulates the usage of Vite and doesn't allow to configure it directly (possibly for using the Cloudflare Vite plugin).
