Query builder (exploration) — Query builder operator buttons exploration for Lantern

An exploration for Lantern’s query builder that swaps the operator dropdowns for compact symbol buttons.

Instead of a full-width select reading Is bigger than, each condition shows a small = or < between the attribute and the value. Clicking it opens a short menu that spells the options out: Equal to, Not equal to, Higher than, Lower than. Rows get shorter, and the attribute and value get more room.

The rest matches the main builder: Or groups, Add condition, Add rule, Add inner group and Run Query.
