Thanks for the PR. This is a bit tricky to get right in a backward-compatible and migration-easy way. I think we need to do it slightly differently.

Apologies for the sequence of commits — I wanted to ensure each feedback point was properly addressed and tested incrementally. Please let me know if this is the appropriate way to validate ruff, mypy-stubtest, and CI tests in general, or if you'd prefer a cleaner commit history or a different workflow.

It does not matter for small PRs. We'll typically review the full diff and squash-merge.

However, in the decorator i had many errors when trying to check "if args and isinstance(args[0], ScaleBase):", so instead of using ScaleBase as a reference i changed to "if args and isinstance(args[0], mpl.axis.Axis):". Does it make sense?

Yes. Sorry my bad for the incorrect suggestion.

Let me know if anything else needs to be refined or if the structure of the changes could be improved further. Thanks again for your time and guidance throughout the review!

You should add a test that the decorated scales can be created with and withoutaxis passed. - Either test on one of the scales, or write an explicit test for the decorator.

Please leave out the unrelated typing modifications.

This is good, except for one annotation toself.
