Which family relationships qualify?

This route is for a family member of a holder of a valid residence authorisation in Angola. The visa provision does not itself define which relatives count; for family reunification with a holder of a valid residence authorisation, the Act treats as family members the spouse or duly recognised de facto partner, minor or incapacitated children dependent on the couple or one spouse, minors in the care of the spouse or unmarried applicant by a decision recognised by Angola, adult dependent single children studying in Angola, and first-degree ascendants of the resident or spouse who are dependent on them.

How does the application work at a high level, what rights does the family member receive, how long does the status last, and how can it become independent or longer-term where officially stated?

A Temporary Stay Visa allows multiple entries and 365 days, renewable for an equal period until the reason for the grant ends. It is not a general unrestricted employment permission. The official source does not state the application process or a path to longer-term status.
