When there's an issue with a block (maybe a user tried to edit it as HTML, maybe they're opening it up in WP Admin and then Calypso and then WP Admin) the default options for "This block contains unexpected or invalid content." are confusing.
"Convert to HTML" is almost never what the user wants, but just having it so prominent increases the chance they'll choose it.
"Resolve" has better results, but seeing HTML here also causes users to panic. And the presence of another option to "Convert to HTML" again makes it that much more likely they'll choose it.
"Attempt Block Recovery" is almost always what they really want, but right now it's hidden behind the three dot menu, which users almost never click if there are more visible buttons available.
Describe the solution you'd like
"Attempt block recovery" should be prominently displayed where "Resolve" and "Convert to HTML" currently are. And those options can be moved behind the three dot menu.
Describe alternatives you've considered
For WP.com specifically, it should really just automatically recover the blocks. Users don't care how the sausage is made as long as it "just works". And seeing a message that blocks have broken makes them lose confidence in the new editor just when we're trying to promote it.
Maybe automatically recover blocks, but save a draft in the version history when blocks have to be recovered on the small chance "Recover" or "Convert to HTML" is what the user wanted. Then they could load the revision if necessary.
