Hello guys,good first issue . I chose to pick Clearer Step Panel Design · Issue #4618 · OpenFn/lightning · GitHub but my comment was deleted. Is there any other way I can still contribute?

Better Run Experience
# Spec
Status: One-Pager
## Hypothesis
If we make running a workflow a clearer… + more rewarding experience then users will want to do it more often
## Problem Observations
- It's confusing to see a button called "Run" which doesn't actually run.
- 80% of users want to run with the default input 80% of the time. Running with a custom input or existing input is a power user feature. But OpenFn requires specifying the input 100% of the time. Creating an extra click. Even if it’s a cron job (w/o inputs).
- When you click run, [it takes you to a new screen](https://github.com/OpenFn/lightning/issues/4198) (leaving canvas).
- Two run buttons are shown when IDE is open.
that issue has already been picked up. Please do find another issue on the issues board that likely not a sub-issue of a bigger issue. preferably a stand-alone issue. Thanks
