Is there a way to access the rendered yaml for the steps used for a build? In case you dynamically render it, what you get back from GraphQL is useless to determine the step dependencies

```
{
  "data": {
    "build": {
      "pipeline": {
        "steps": {
          "yaml": "steps:\n - command: \".buildkite/slack-pipeline.sh | buildkite-agent pipeline upload\"\n label: \":slack:\""
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

```
