During a two-month period, Berry contributed to the mui/base-ui repository by enhancing nested menu behavior and improving the Select component. Berry addressed a bug where pressing Escape would unexpectedly close parent menus, refining the closeParentOnEsc logic to improve accessibility and predictability for keyboard users. In the following month, Berry implemented a readOnly mode for the Select component, preventing unwanted popups and adding an open-state indicator to Select.Icon, while refactoring icon references for consistency. These changes, developed using JavaScript, TypeScript, and React, were accompanied by targeted tests, resulting in more robust UI components and a smoother developer experience.
September 2025 (mui/base-ui): Delivered key usability improvements to the Select component, including a readOnly mode to prevent popup, a new open-state indicator for Select.Icon, and a refactor of the icon ref type to span for consistency. Implemented tests for read-only behavior and UI state indicators. These changes enhance accessibility, reduce unintended interactions, and improve developer experience while maintaining API compatibility.

Month 2025-08 — Focused on stabilizing nested menu behavior and escape handling in mui/base-ui. Delivered a targeted bug fix that changes the default for closeParentOnEsc so Escape closes only when explicitly configured, improving predictability and accessibility of multi-level menus. The change is implemented with a single, well-scoped commit and prepared for validation and review.
