Modeler API


The Modeler API provides an API for modules like ECA - Events,
Conditions, Actions, Migrate Visualize, AI Agents, and maybe
others. The purpose is to allow those modules to utilize modelers
like BPMN.iO, (and maybe others in the future) to build diagrams
constructed of their components (e.g. plugins) and write them
back into module-specific config entities.
