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.
