SearchSuggest exists in MW Core so It would make sense to update it to a Vue component there instead of on the Translate extension. The diff is generated from the compare API as well; meaning that there's no additional work related to Vue on Special:PagePreparation

We'll be following up this task with T361138. Story points have been reduced to 4 as we didn't have to use so much of Codex components.

The extent to which it’s a subtask of T343454: Use Codex CSS components or OOUI form instead of mediawiki.ui in Translate may be resolved, but I don’t think the result is particularly a “solid base that's easy to extend”. It mixes a JavaScript frontend (that actually provides nothing more in its current state than a pure-PHP version would) and a Mustache-based template, Codex classes with title search provided (and styled) by searchSuggest.js. It’s more like an experiment showcasing as many technologies as possible than a solid base that’s easy to extend. 🙂
I think a solid base would be either:
- A pure PHP/Mustache/OOUI solution that provides with no more JS interactivity than what MediaWiki\Widget\TitleInputWidget provides (only PHP OOUI components).
- A pure JS/Vue/Codex solution that uses no Mustache (the PHP part is so simple that it doesn’t need a templating system), no searchSuggest.js styling and no jQuery, but rather Vue and Codex’ Vue components (in particular TypeaheadSearch).
