Figma Config 2026 preview: prompt-to-component is the headline, Dev Mode expansion is the real story

Pre-conference signals from the Figma AI team point to deeper prompt-to-design generation and an expanded Dev Mode shipping production React from a design. Linear, Vercel, and Stripe have all named Figma Dev Mode in 2026 engineering hires. If Figma ships both seriously at Config 2026, the product moves from canvas tool to production handoff system. If it's more talk than features (v0 and Lovable have moved fast on prompt-to-UI), the conversation tilts. Watch Config keynotes specifically for whether 'prompt to working component' is a real feature or a roadmap slide.
