PoC: Implement view builder for Embedded views

Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.

What we're building

A proof-of-concept for a new filtering component that makes GLQL accessible to non-technical users while still giving power users full control. Eventually, this will be a platform-wide solution that could eventually replace tokenized search across GitLab.

Goals

  • Create a working prototype showing how users can filter
  • Identify technical challenges before full implementation
  • Validate that non-technical users can actually use it effectively
  • Establish a foundation for a reusable component in Pajamas

Non-goals

  • Production-ready code (this is throwaway code to test concepts and uncover any design gotchas)
  • Full replacement of tokenized search in this milestone
  • Advanced code editing features like syntax highlighting

Why this matters

Our current tokenized search is hard to maintain, inconsistent across the platform, and confusing for non-technical users. This PoC will help us validate a better approach that could solve filtering challenges across GitLab while making GLQL more accessible to everyone.
