❓ Highlighted texts are invisible. Mobile and Desktop highlights are different

I can't replicate this. Have reached out to George for replication steps, but it also doesn't necessarily need a bug - probably a question that can be raised in the talk-to-web channel.

❌ Text in <kbd /> are not visible because of the color. Icons are still white on dekstop. Is mobile supposed to have something?

Fixed on wiki. Documented on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Recommendations_for_night_mode_compatibility_on_Wikimedia_wikis#Templates_/_modules

@Ryasmeen - we've tested all original test cases. Is there any additional testing the editing team would like to do prior to deployment?

Per what @ovasileva and I talked about offline during today's Editing - Web Team meeting, Editing is going to assume responsibility for testing talk pages to ensure the more targeted testing the Web Team completed in T365509#9965955 did not miss any issues.

With the above in mind, I'm moving this to the Editing QA board.

@EAkinloose: do you agree? Are there any issues that are both NOT resolved and without Phabricator tickets?

I totally agree. We have tracking tickets already. I'll verify.
