Description
In the previous version, you could toggle highlights on DOM elements as they (re)rendered, which was quite useful for debugging.
This feature allowed you to see if a certain reactivity was updating more than one element, such as a list of items that should only update a single item when something changes, rather than all the items.
I can't seem to find this toggle in the new devtools. Is it still available, or is it something that's planned for future updates?

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by checking the current devtools renderer UI and the previous version for the DOM-element highlighting toggle; determine whether the feature is absent or exposed elsewhere. Done means establishing the toggle's availability or implementing an agreed replacement with coverage for highlighting reactive updates.
