Mobile and desktop designs for Vector 2022 and Minerva have been proposed in T347309 and T349210.
We should review the feasiblity of the designs from a technical point of view and adjust as and where necessary.

TLDR: I've outlined proposed sequencing in T345359 and T350195 is the next step. Roll out to production would be blocked on the following tasks owned by design systems team: T289208 and T335317. @JScherer-WMF
was going to have another pass at the design to see if there are any opportunities to simplify things.
The big issue I can see with the design on desktop is it requires being able to load Codex styles for checkboxes and radios on the page. In mobile we don't have this issue as we have a completely separate page, however I think that's a bit of a poor experience, so ideally we should try to find ways to render the first.
Right now we can only render checkboxes and radio buttons if they are hidden by default. e.g. collapsed or inside an overlay. We ran into a similar issue in T286835 and have a standing request for the design systems team/mediawiki platform team in T289208 to provide clear guidelines on that.
Since the pinned menu in T347309#9248004 is persistent, we would be required to load Codex on page load. I don't see how to do this in a way that doesn't damage our existing site performance and that isn't blocked on the design systems (who are working on code splitting T335317)
There are possible compromises we could make to avoid these blockers:
@JScherer-WMF was going to review the above to see whether any would make sense.
Despite this I think we can build this out provided we are okay with the Codex code splitting being a blocker for a full release. As a next step I would propose we work on T350195.
@Jdlrobson, @JScherer-WMF - I think we're okay to go ahead and sign off on this one, do you agree? We can separately have the conversation of which version of the menu we want to start with for Version 1.
