Investigate Pipeline Editor not showing in blob controls
<!--- Please read this! Before opening a new issue, make sure to search for keywords in the issues filtered by the "regression" or "type::bug" label: - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues?label_name%5B%5D=regression - https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/issues?label_name%5B%5D=type::bug and verify the issue you're about to submit isn't a duplicate. ---> ### Summary <!--Summarize the bug encountered concisely.--> The option **Edit \> Edit in Pipeline Editor** looks to show inconsistently for the `.gitlab-ci.yml` file. When I first create a `.gitlab-ci.yml` file the option shows, but if I navigate to my project and click the file, the option does not show ### Steps to reproduce <!--Describe how one can reproduce the issue - this is very important. Please use an ordered list.--> ### Example Project <!--If possible, please create an example project here on GitLab.com that exhibits the problematic behavior, and link to it here in the bug report. If you are using an older version of GitLab, this will also determine whether the bug is fixed in a more recent version.--> * https://gitlab.com/scottcosentinogitlab/test-pages * I have also replicated the issue in a self managed instance (v18.9.1-ee) ### What is the current _bug_ behavior? <!--Describe what actually happens.--> ### What is the expected _correct_ behavior? <!--Describe what you should see instead.--> **Edit \> Edit in Pipeline Editor** should be available in the blob controls for `.gitlab-ci.yml` file ### Relevant logs and/or screenshots <!--Paste any relevant logs - please use code blocks (```) to format console output, logs, and code as it's tough to read otherwise.--> | creating the file | after the files has been created | |-------------------|----------------------------------| | ![Screenshot_2026-03-03_at_4.48.16_PM](/uploads/8890cea491194b9bf4902e172c6398e6/Screenshot_2026-03-03_at_4.48.16_PM.png){width="900" height="297"} | ![Screenshot_2026-03-03_at_4.34.09_PM](/uploads/3d97fbb965f69f705366668d0e003546/Screenshot_2026-03-03_at_4.34.09_PM.png){width="900" height="269"} | ### Output of checks <!--If you are reporting a bug on GitLab.com, uncomment below--> <!--This bug happens on GitLab.com--> <!--and uncomment below if you have /label privileges--> <!--/label ~"reproduced on GitLab.com"--> <!--or follow up with an issue comment of `@gitlab-bot label ~"reproduced on GitLab.com"` if you do not--> #### Results of GitLab environment info <!--Input any relevant GitLab environment information if needed.--> <details> <summary>Expand for output related to GitLab environment info</summary> <pre> (For installations with omnibus-gitlab package run and paste the output of: \`sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:env:info\`) (For installations from source run and paste the output of: \`sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:env:info RAILS_ENV=production\`) </pre> </details> #### Results of GitLab application Check <!--Input any relevant GitLab application check information if needed.--> <details> <summary>Expand for output related to the GitLab application check</summary> <pre> (For installations with omnibus-gitlab package run and paste the output of: `sudo gitlab-rake gitlab:check SANITIZE=true`) (For installations from source run and paste the output of: `sudo -u git -H bundle exec rake gitlab:check RAILS_ENV=production SANITIZE=true`) (we will only investigate if the tests are passing) </pre> </details> ### Possible fixes <!--If you can, link to the line of code that might be responsible for the problem.--> ### Patch release information for backports If the bug fix needs to be backported in a [patch release](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/releases/patch-releases) to a version under [the maintenance policy](https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/maintenance/), please follow the steps on the [patch release runbook for GitLab engineers](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release/docs/-/blob/master/general/patch/engineers.md). Refer to the [internal "Release Information" dashboard](https://dashboards.gitlab.net/d/delivery-release_info/delivery3a-release-information?orgId=1) for information about the next patch release, including the targeted versions, expected release date, and current status. #### High-severity bug remediation To remediate high-severity issues requiring an [internal release](https://handbook.gitlab.com/handbook/engineering/releases/internal-releases/) for single-tenant SaaS instances, refer to the [internal release process for engineers](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/release/docs/-/blob/master/general/internal-releases/engineers.md?ref_type=heads). <!--If you don't have /label privileges, follow up with an issue comment of `@gitlab-bot label ~"type::bug"`-->
