AIUI, Flow no longer uses VE's API to convert from/to wikitext/html, it posts API requests to Parsoid's URL if its available. I think this means: * Hooks.php onSetupAfterCache() is obsolete, (and has been since we occupied namespaces?!), * Flow should have its own parameters $wgFlowParsoidURL, $wgFlowParsoidPrefix, $wgFlowParsoidTimeout which in comments can default to the $wgVisualEditor* values. * Clean up obsolete comments in ParsoidUtils.php This will make it clearer that Flow can work with Parsoid even if the VisualEditor extension isn't installed. (Is the Parsoid extension even required on MediaWiki servers in a cluster arrangement where only one machine runs the Parsoid nodejs service?) I guess yes in order to "trigger Parsoid cache updates".)
Coincidentally, I had been working on that yesterday: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/95605/ onSetupAfterCache still needs to be removed in there, though.
