Editor V2: Swap View YAML and Edit component button priorities #2117

@shopify-river

Description

@shopify-river

Summary

In the task/component actions, promote View YAML to a primary button and move Edit component into the actions menu.

Rationale

From the Apr 21 CSOM sync: View YAML is expected to be used more frequently than Edit component. The current arrangement (Edit primary, View YAML secondary) is backwards relative to actual usage.

Acceptance

  • "View YAML" is a primary action button on task/component nodes in editor V2.
  • "Edit component" is demoted into the actions ("Thunderbolt") menu.
  • Pair with Morgan's instrumentation so we can validate the usage hypothesis post-ship.

Context: Captured from the Tangle / CSOM UX sync on Apr 21, 2026 (notes). Attendees: Matt Beaulne, Camiel van Schoonhoven, Maksym Yezhov.
