Description

Running the optional migration after skipping the build migration during initial update incorrectly installs @angular/build v20 which is not compatible

Minimal Reproduction

https://github.com/simhnna/angular-build-migration-demo/tree/8971afceeaf60bbe9fff4c9a2777b7711dcb095f

Run ng update @angular/cli --name=use-application-builder

The installed Angular CLI version is outdated.
Installing a temporary Angular CLI versioned 20.1.0 to perform the update.
Using package manager: npm
Collecting installed dependencies...
Found 22 dependencies.
** Executing 'use-application-builder' of package '@angular/cli' **

❯ Migrate application projects to the new build system.
  Application projects that are using the '@angular-devkit/build-angular' package's 'browser' and/or 'browser-esbuild' builders will be migrated to use the new 'application' builder.
  You can read more about this, including known issues and limitations, here: https://angular.dev/tools/cli/build-system-migration
    The output location of the browser build has been updated from "dist/project" to "dist/project/browser". You might need to adjust your deployment pipeline or, as an alternative, set outputPath.browser to "" in order to maintain the previous functionality.

UPDATE angular.json (2749 bytes)
✔ Packages installed successfully.
  Migration completed (2 files modified).

It installs @angular/build@20 because it uses @angular/cli@20 to run the update
