Description
### Steps to reproduce
1. flutter run --profile --track-widget-creation
2. Open DevTools → Performance
3. The "Count widget builds" checkbox is greyed out.
### Expected results
The flag name `--track-widget-creation` suggests this should still be
available in profile mode. Documentation should clarify that widget build tracking is available debug-only.
### Actual results
I could not check the box to display the widget rebuilds, and the tooltip was not any help either. Documentation never mentions this. AI doesn't know.
