Summary
This PR improves the user experience for adding simple (inline) alert actions directly from the Alerting v2 rule form, as opposed to managing standalone action policies. The improvements likely include UI polish, validation feedback, and form workflow refinements for attaching quick actions to a rule at creation time. Documentation covering action configuration in the rule form should be updated to reflect the improved flow for adding simple actions alongside the more advanced action policy attachment pattern. Stack only, from 9.5.0 (technical preview).
Why this needs docs: UI improvements to the rule form action workflow affect the documented steps for configuring alert notifications and should be captured when the Alerting v2 rule creation how-to is written.

Alerting (Kibana) > Configure alert actions in the rule form
- What the docs say: No Alerting v2 rule form documentation exists yet.
- What to add: When documenting the Alerting v2 rule creation flow, include a subsection on configuring simple (inline) actions from the rule form versus attaching a standalone action policy. This item rolls up into the broader Alerting v2 rule creation how-to and does not need a standalone doc issue. Stack only, from 9.5.0 (technical preview).
