My Jetpack: migrate overview Button and Text to @wordpress/ui

[lezama]

Partial of #48160 — My Jetpack dashboard section.

Proposed changes

Per-page migration pass on the My Jetpack overview page (/wp-admin/admin.php?page=my-jetpack#/overview): swap safe Text and Button usages from @automattic/jetpack-components to @wordpress/ui v0.11.0. Adds @wordpress/ui to the my-jetpack package dependencies at the version already used by sibling packages (forms, newsletter, publicize, charts, components).

Out of scope (follow-up PRs)

• action-button/index.tsx + action-button/secondary-button.tsx — pervasive href/isExternalLink/weight — needs coordinated Link migration
• plans-section/index.tsx Button usages — all variant="link" + href + isExternalLink + weight="regular" (inline TODO at top of file)
• golden-token/tooltip/index.tsx — variant="link"
• connection-status-card/index.tsx variant="link" Button — kept on @wordpress/components
• Interstitial flow files — not on overview render path
• Col/Container → Stack, Gridicon → @wordpress/icons, and per-component migrations (JetpackIcon, JetpackLogo, LoadingPlaceholder, Notice, Spinner, UpsellBanner, GlobalNotices, DotPager, ThemeProvider) — separate PRs per issue Jetpack UI Modernization #48160

Real-screen before / after

Both screenshots captured on a live Jurassic Ninja site with Jetpack connected. Before = clean trunk rebuild (54cb1b001a). After = this branch's build with the migrations applied.

Before (trunk, rebuilt)	After (this PR)

Both renders are pixel-identical (739,707 bytes each). DOM verification on the branch build: __body-md, __body-sm, __heading-lg, __is-neutral classes confirmed present — migration is live. No layout/visual regressions.

Investigated an earlier visual "regression" I thought I saw in the Views chart — turned out to be a transient Stats-widget render state in my very first trunk screenshot (chart bars displayed at a larger relative height during initial data load). Subsequent renders of both trunk and this branch are identical. My PR does not affect the Stats widget.

Notes on the migration

1. Build order matters: pnpm jetpack build packages/my-jetpack --production must run before pnpm jetpack build plugins/jetpack --production — the plugin build bundles pre-built package outputs, so package changes need to be refreshed first.
2. Version parity: pinned @wordpress/ui at 0.11.0 to match forms, newsletter, publicize, charts, and js-packages/components. A version mismatch would cause pnpm to resolve two copies and their CSS module hashes to differ.
3. Text semantic change: @automattic/jetpack-components Text renders title-medium→<h3>, body→<p>, etc. @wordpress/ui Text always renders <span>. Callsites on the overview page do not rely on block-level defaults, so no layout impact observed, but this is a consideration for future migrations of files where the variant was carrying block-level styling.

Testing instructions

• Visit My Jetpack overview (admin.php?page=my-jetpack#/overview).
• Verify product cards, plan section, and connection status card render identically to trunk.
• Confirm no console errors.
• Spot-check Text typography and Button appearance in the admin.

Code Coverage Summary

This PR did not change code coverage!

That could be good or bad, depending on the situation. Everything covered before, and still is? Great! Nothing was covered before? Not so great. 🤷

Looks good to me, even though the screenshots above appear broken.

One thing to note is that this change seems to revert the fix we applied recently to the button in the connection page:

Hey @lezama — a few updates on this branch:

1. Rebased onto current trunk. Branch was 12 days behind and DIRTY. Conflicts on pnpm-lock.yaml, plans-section/index.tsx, and backup-card/index.jsx — all import-line resolutions: kept both Link (from trunk's Use Link instead of ExternalLink #48529 sweep) and Text (from your migration) in the @wordpress/ui imports; lockfile took trunk's, no new deps needed. Rebased commit: df7f69b.

2. @keoshi's flagged regression is resolved by the rebase. The "missing background on Supercharge my site button" turned out to be stale-branch drift, not an active revert by this PR. My Jetpack: fix missing background on "Supercharge my site" button #48240 landed on trunk after the PR was opened and connection-form.tsx was never touched by this branch — so the rebase pulls in trunk's variant="primary" automatically. Verified locally on a connected dev site (button renders with the correct primary fill on the rebased branch).

3. Bumped @wordpress/ui to 0.13.0 on packages/my-jetpack (was 0.11.0). The overview Button + Text migration this PR introduces consumes the same @wordpress/ui surface the rest of the modernization work is consolidating onto. Commit: 2d1bed2.

You're welcome to take it over the merge line, or leave it with us and we'll watch CI / shepherd it through — whichever you prefer. No pressure either way.
