Nicer buttons for tagging & export (clearer toolbar than the ▾ dropdowns) #79

Description

@markkerzner

From review-app UX testing.

The ask

Make the tagging and export actions clearer, nicer buttons — the current Tag ▾ and Export ▾ dropdowns hide the actions behind a menu and aren't obvious.

Current state

Results toolbar has two dropdown buttons:

Suggested direction (to refine when we build it)

  • Surface the common actions as labeled buttons with icons instead of buried menu items, e.g. a small button group:
    Tag Selected · Tag Page · Tag All and Export Selected · Export All · Report
  • Or keep a primary button (Tag / Export) with a clear split-button caret, styled consistently with the rest of the modern results toolbar.
  • Show counts where useful (e.g. "Tag Selected (2)" when 2 rows are checked) and disable actions that don't apply (e.g. Tag/Export Selected when nothing is checked).
  • Consistent styling, hover states, and icons (bi-tag / bi-download) with the existing toolbar.
