Volker_E updated subscribers of T369434: Move PCS service from WikimediaUI Base to Codex.

@Dbrant @JTannerWMF Thanks for picking this up! What would/could DST do to make this workable.
From my POV apps and PCS are not using wikimedia-ui-base as dependency, just an outdated copy. We can proceed with sunsetting it.
The transformation to Codex is as simple as updating it itself.
A bigger question is if the apps would benefit from Codex tokens as dependency with an export format as shown in proof-of-concept in https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/design/codex/+/856036 on task T327200: [Spike] Explore tokens export to mobile platforms Android and iOS

Volker_E added a comment to T363416: Checkbox, Radio: Enable custom input.

From an accessibility perspective, we need to ensure that the change in DOM (specifically with the 'show'/'hide' functionality) is exposed to assistive technology (AT). From this perspective with its parent>child connection and also from a usability POV with problematic move of all elements underneath a suddenly showing component, I'd advise to strongly emphasize the "or other" version.
For technical clarification: All nodes that aren't part of the DOM/accessibility tree after page load have to be specifically marked up with aria-hidden, aria-live and role="alert" or role="status".
The correct exposure of "and other" in AT would be an acceptance criteria for me to resolve this task successfully.

Volker_E added a comment to T367103: Media queries using max width breakpoints are not working in Monobook and Fallback skin.

After investigating this some more, it transpired the issue was a longstanding issue that was only causing an issue in Monobook. We have fixed the issue by making sure these are wrapped in brackets to force LESS to calculate it correctly.

According to @Catrope the problem here is "MW is stuck on a PHP port of an older version unfortunately".

Volker_E added a comment to T367103: Media queries using max width breakpoints are not working in Monobook and Fallback skin.

Thanks @Od1n for the further information. Reason for calc() in original Codex definition was, that we aimed to provide possible Codex theme authors with the possibility to use not only pixel values, but also em values for breakpoints, as those have been stated as best practices in CSS for responsive design from some authors in the past. And then we'd end up mixing (giving fictitious numbers here): calc( 30em - 1px ).

Volker_E added a comment to T354088: Shade of gray used in Special:SecurePoll/list is barely distinguishable from black.

To be clear, for users of low-vision the newly chosen color would mean that information is inaccessible. I would suggest a different choice, like a much darker color and add additional styling.
From your example of “Hawkeye7”, it uses italic font styling.

Related, noticed that Echo defines custom breakpoint ‘@specialpage-hd-width: 982px;’

After T337954 we might now be able to replace that as well
