The UI has changed significantly here depending on if the site is "install-capable" and that functionality is enabled, so this is now outdated.
Currently the drop button for a project not installed yet has the default action View commands, which opens the instructional modal how to add and install a module with composer and drush, and the options download (experimental) and download and install (experimental).
that entails two main problems:
view commands as the default action makes it impossible to assess in which state a module is in. is it already in the codebase or has it already been added. the only state which is clear is the grey Installed buttonView commands as the default option. It could be debated if as soon as the svelt ui patch is merged the instructional modal should completely removed and only be available when package manager is not installed or if the instruction should be still be available that users are able to access it somehow (but not sure if it would make sense as a regular option in the drop button) view commands removed the question is if it should be a step wise process. for modules not added yet have Add as the default option and add and install as an option. question is would users prefer to have add and install as the default and add as on option instead? for modules already added (either in project browser or with composer) the default option would be install. Not all content is available!
It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
