Description
Based on [this user's feedback](https://x.com/davidperezmk/status/2075101903478743227)
### What
Surface the XDebug toggle in a more prominent and intuitive location in the UI.
### Why
XDebug is currently hidden inside Site Settings, making it hard to find. It's a powerful and frequently used developer feature that shouldn't require digging through settings. Users report it's "not intuitive" to locate.
### How
_No response_
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by tracing the existing XDebug toggle in Site Settings and the surrounding UI entry points. Move or surface it in a more prominent, intuitive location, and consider the work done when users can find the XDebug activation without digging through Site Settings.
