gokulg commentedTested the patch on Drupal 11.x (dev) .
Steps:
1. Verified that CKEditor 5 version is not shown on /admin/reports/status in the base branch.
2. Applied the patch from MR !16961 and rebuilt the site.
3. After applying the patch, CKEditor 5 version is displayed correctly in the status report.
Result:
- Issue is reproducible on 11.x
- Patch fixes the issue as expected
Additionally, the previously reported pipeline issue appears to have been addressed.
Marking as RTBC.

quietone commentedChecking that the core gates are passed.
This issue is changing the UI so there should be before and after screen shots in the issue summary, where reviewers and committers can find them.
@gokulg, thanks for manually testing this change. In the future, make sure to test on the version the MR is against. That will almost always be 'main', which is our development branch. Changes are fixed there first and then backported according to our policies. And for a UI change the testing should always include before/after screenshots. And those should be in the issue summary as mentioned.
There are no questions here as this is quite straitforward.
I do have a question. Who is this information for? I don't see how it helps a site admin and a developer should be able to find this out via other means. And if we report on one dependency in the status report, what over the others. Is this setting an expectation?

xjmOne of the pieces of UX feedback we have had to address for this page several times is that it shouldn't contain information that is inactionable for site owners. They can do something about the PHP version, or whether their files directory is protected, or etc., even if they have to file an issue with their HSP or whatever. OTOH they have no control over what version of CKE is shipped by core.
Additionally, who is the audience of this information? If it's for developers integrating CKE plugins, the source is a better place to look. And if people see a CKE version but not a jQuery version does that then add confusion? Etc.
I would want usability review on this addition for the above reasons. That also means we would need screenshots with more context than the current one.
This page is also very site-owner-facing, so if the usability team signs off, I'd also want a product +1 before adding it.
Thanks!
