[deep-report] Split 162-line generateYAML in pkg/workflow/compiler_yaml.go into helpers #66883

Description

(c *Compiler) generateYAML in pkg/workflow/compiler_yaml.go (lines 103-264) is 162 lines long — live-verified today. It's the largest function flagged by the 2026-10-08 Daily Compiler Code Quality Report (score 74/100, "Acceptable" rating, the lowest of the 3 files it reviewed that day).

Expected Impact

Improves maintainability/testability of the core YAML-assembly path and brings compiler_yaml.go's quality score up. The report's own estimate: ~2 hours.
