Summary
PR #268774 introduces the Compose Discover stepped edit form flyout for Alerting v2 — a major new UI workflow. Users can now create and edit Alerting v2 rules directly from the Discover app using a multi-step flyout that walks them through composing an ES|QL query and configuring alert settings. The flyout is triggered from the rules list page and uses React Hook Form for state management. This represents a new end-to-end rule creation path distinct from the existing alert creation workflow.
Why this needs docs: New multi-step rule creation flyout in the Discover app is a significant user-facing workflow that requires documentation covering how to access it, the steps involved, and how it differs from other rule creation paths.

- What the docs say: Current docs describe rule creation through the Alerting UI but do not describe the Compose Discover flyout workflow.
- What to add: Add a section describing how to create an Alerting v2 rule using the Compose Discover flyout: where to find the entry point in the Discover rules list, the steps in the flyout (compose query step, alert settings step), and how to save the rule. Include a screenshot of the multi-step flyout. Applies from 9.5.0 and in serverless.
