@Volker_E I think we should revert this patch https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/design/codex/+/1165610 because the favicons are not displaying on the main branch. I'm guessing they won't load on the latest branch either. What do you think?

Volker_E added a comment to T397327: Create new warning background and border tokens.

I wouldn't be too concerned with incomplete token sets in this case. As these are not widely used tokens and I also can't foresee wide usage, it seems slightly better to go with @bmartinezcalvo approach for now and add just the warning ones.
@bmartinezcalvo Do you want to provide the patch yourself or do you want me to go ahead?

Volker_E added a comment to T389900: Font modes: Resolve line-height token discrepancies downstream.

Re-opening in context of another combination identified to be problematic in T394305: 1.45.0-wmf.1: When setting font size to "small", line-height is absolute, making lines with larger font-size cramped.

Volker_E added a comment to T394091: Vector 2022 user menu icons are smaller and blurry.

Option 1: vector-icon override

Set vector-icon to use font-size-medium when at medium. That would be self-referential, but fallback to 1rem with the calc to 20px., which would result in a correct rendering.

	.vector-icon {
		--font-size-medium: @font-size-medium;
		--line-height-medium: @line-height-medium;
	}

Pro: Limited code effort and only one place to be concerned about
Con: Self-referential, so code-wise questionable

This is a side-effect of scaling SVG icons with 20x20 canvas to 18x18 px at default font mode in combination with Vector setting font-size-medium to 0.875rem. We will have a conversation about it in tomorrow's DST design sync meeting on how to proceed.
