+ *
+ * @param feature - The feature object whose status and metadata determine which actions are shown.
+ * @param isCurrentAutoTask - When true, renders actions relevant to the currently running automated task.
+ * @param hasContext - If true, indicates the feature has surrounding context (affects layout/availability in some states).
+ * @param shortcutKey - Optional keyboard shortcut label shown next to the Logs button when present.
+ * @param onEdit - Invoked when the Edit button is clicked.
+ * @param onViewOutput - Invoked when a Logs/View Output button is clicked.
+ * @param onVerify - Invoked when the Verify button (verification pathway) is clicked.
+ * @param onResume - Invoked when the Resume button is clicked.
+ * @param onForceStop - Invoked when the Force Stop button is clicked.
+ * @param onManualVerify - Invoked when a manual verification button is clicked.
+ * @param onFollowUp - Invoked when the Refine/Follow-up button is clicked.
