Pull request overview
Improves Azure DevOps “Run pipeline” UX for this repo’s pipelines by making the run dialog more self-explanatory and adding easy-to-find links back to the corresponding pipeline definitions.
Changes:
- Add an
_inforuntime parameter (single-choice string) to surface a brief “what this pipeline is for” description in the Run dialog. - Add “official/unofficial/public” pipeline definition links near the top of relevant pipeline YAMLs.
- Polish several runtime parameter
displayNamestrings to be more imperative and explanatory.

A few changes make the pipeline Run dialogs more usable for devs without full context:
Add an explicit description of what the pipeline is for by including a parameter with only one choice. The radio select is a bit ugly, but some emoji make it blend in a little, and the pipeline filename seems like a reasonable thing to include that makes the line seem less useless/out-of-place:
(This change will also be done in go-infra-images, and that change is really the one that directly addresses the recommendation in the RCA, by making it clear that that pipeline is the wrong one to use for this.)
Also, clarify the parameter display names.
