This is a debugging tool for technical artists, to help nailing down
render artifacts while having all troubleshooting tools available:
for example, easier navigation, objects visibility control, geometry
nodes spreadsheet, etc.

Available as a "mode" changing button in a new Dependency Graph panel
in the View Layer buttons. The evaluation mode is not stored in the
.blend file to avoid creation of possible confusion.

TODO:

More clear UI
Support geometry node s viewer node

2c3b798764 Improve visual feedback when render resolution is used

Mark the switch button red when the viewport is in render resolution and
visibility.

Also put a message in the status bar, so it is always visible.

Gave it a quick test:

Looks like when testing in the default scene the cube visibility is also toggled with the viewport toggle, not just the render toggle
I think that using the word resolution is going to be confusing to most users, as this is usually only used in specific context. Mode seems more intuitive to me.
The message in the status bar should maybe be right aligned, rather then left. Right now it is jumping around a lot
I'd propose to have the warning message that elaborates on the context of the button turning red, whenever it is toggled. The message in the status bar could then also be shorter. Something like Render Visibility Mode or such
