Various refinements have been made to different converter classes to better handle activity serialization. Furthermore, a function's name was improved from "FindWorkflowGraphAsync" to "GetWorkflowDefinitionAsync" to more accurately reflects its purpose.
* Add ActivityWriter to help serialize workflow activities
This commit introduces a new class ActivityWriter, that handles the serialization of workflow activities to JSON. Other classes such as ActivityNodeConverter and ActivityJsonConverter have been refactored to utilize this new helper. The codebase is now more DRY, avoids duplicate code and increases code maintainability.
* Refactor Json serialization for ignoring specialized converters
Removed 'IActivityRegistry' from 'JsonIgnoreCompositeRootConverter'. Instead, added an 'ignoreSpecializedConverters' argument to the 'WriteActivity' method in 'ActivityWriter'. This adjustment facilitates managing specialized converter behavior more efficiently during JSON serialization.
* Update ActivityNode serialization description
The comments for the ActivityNodeConverter class have been modified to clarify the serialization process. It now explicitly states that it includes descendant nodes based on the specified depth rather than just immediate child nodes. The parameter 'depth' description has been updated to 'the number of levels of descendants to include'.
* Refine workflow serializer and update activity writer parameters
The WorkflowSerializer clone operation has been simplified to directly call GetOptions from the API Serializer. Furthermore, an unnecessary comment was removed. In the ActivityWriter, an additional parameter was introduced for controlling whether to ignore the availability of converters that can handle IActivity objects. A superfluous front slash was removed from the class description comment.

It also refactors 'Workflow_ContainingWorkflowActivity_ShouldNotIncludeChildrenOfWorkflowActivity' test to make use of constants for IDs. These changes increase the coverage and maintainability of the code.
* Update max line length in .editorconfig
This commit increases the max line length to 420 characters in the .editorconfig. Additionally, it removes the redundant 'resharper_csharp_max_line_length' setting.
* Replace ActivityNodeConverter with RootActivityNodeConverter
The commit involves a change in serialization strategy for ActivityNode in the Elsa Workflows modules. The ActivityNodeConverter has been replaced with a RootActivityNodeConverter, which changes the approach from serializing the ActivityNode type and its descendants based on specified depth to serializing the ActivityNode type without its children, with activity children now serialized as properties. Corresponding alterations have also been made in the test cases.
* Remove IActivityRegistry parameter from classes
The IActivityRegistry parameter was removed from WorkflowDefinitionActivityProvider and JsonIgnoreCompositeRootConverterFactory classes, simplifying their constructors. This change also affected Elsa.Workflows.ComponentTests where the node access through "root" was adjusted for these updates.

Added explicit notification handlers for DeleteWorkflowInstances and RefreshActivityRegistry in WorkflowManagementFeature.cs. Also, renamed RefreshActivityRegistryHandler.cs to RefreshActivityRegistry.cs for better clarity.
* Add multiple log record support to workflow execution log stores
The major change of this commit is the addition of methods to add multiple log records in the WorkflowExecutionLogStore, across different storage modules such as EntityFramework, MongoDB, Dapper, Elasticsearch and Memory. This ensures consistency and uniform behavior across different storage types. Furthermore, some reformatting and tidying up of the code were undertaken to maintain readability and clarity.
* Remove redundant workflow definition check
The workflow definition existence check and related service retrieval were removed from HttpWorkflowsMiddleware.cs. It was determined that this check was unnecessary as the workflow definition's existence is guaranteed at this point in the process, reducing redundancy in the code.
* Improve cancellation token usage in workflow execution
This commit refines the usage of cancellation tokens during the execution of workflows in Elsa.Server and HttpWorkflowsMiddleware. Previously, a cancellation token pair was created before ExecuteWithinTimeoutAsync was called, which limited duration control solely to that method. Now, cancellation tokens are included within ExecuteWithinTimeoutAsync method. This allows the method to observe any cancellation initiated by outer scopes, enhancing control over the timeout of operations.
* Add PersistStateAsync method to WorkflowHost
A new PersistStateAsync method has been added to the WorkflowHost, which enables the host to directly persist its own state. The method has been integrated into the DefaultWorkflowRuntime and HttpWorkflowsMiddleware. This update eliminates the need to continuously get instances of IWorkflowInstanceManager to save state, which improves efficiency and code readability.
* Refactor DefaultAlterationRunner service
This update simplifies the DefaultAlterationRunner service, reducing the number of code lines and removing unnecessary references. The workflow materialization step has been merged with the find workflow step, and unused namespaces have been dropped.

Also cleaned up redundant usages and unnecessary namespaces across various modules. This simplification better aligns with standard .NET conventions and reduces the code complexity.
* Implement ActivityHandle for better activity identification
The ActivityHandle class has been introduced to consolidate various activity identification parameters such as ActivityId, ActivityNodeId, ActivityInstanceId, and ActivityHash. This makes it easier to track and manage activities by reducing the number of parameters needed for identification. Adoption of ActivityHandle has been implemented across the codebase.
* Remove AzureContainerApps related code
This commit includes the removal of all the AzureContainerApps associated code from the ProtoActor Cluster. The deletion includes multiple files which had housed the AzureContainerApps cluster provider and all its supporting services, util functions, options, contracts, and models. This move might be towards refactoring the structure or removal of unwanted dependencies.
* Add distributed execution runtime and client
Removed some unused classes and created a distributed execution runtime using distributed locking and persistence. Introduced an interface for workflow clients and implemented two versions, a local one and one using `Proto.Actor`. Made some changes in other modules to add the necessary interfaces and methods. Also, added `DistributedLockingRuntime` module to implement distributed execution.
* Remove WorkflowClient.cs from Elsa.Workflows.Runtime
The WorkflowClient.cs file was removed from the Elsa.Workflows.Runtime project. It held placeholder methods that had not yet been implemented, making it unnecessary in the current codebase.

With this removal, the project has become leaner and easier to maintain. It also eliminates potential confusion for future developers working on this project.
* Add WorkflowMatcher and replace BookmarkHasher with StimulusHasher
This commit introduces a new class, WorkflowMatcher, which represents a contract for finding triggers and bookmarks associated with workflow activities. It also renames and replaces all instances of BookmarkHasher with StimulusHasher to reflect a more accurate function relating to stimulus rather than bookmarks. Other necessary changes were made to ensure consistency with these updates across different classes. It's important to note that WorkflowInbox interface is now marked as obsolete.
* Incremental work on stimuli refactoring
* Refactor codebase to support new IWorkflowInvoker and invoke workflow logic
Multiple files updated to introduce a `IWorkflowInvoker` interface, implementation and supporting classes. This simplified how workflows are instantiated and invoked. Consequently, necessary adjustments made across multiple entities and endpoints to account for the updated invocation procedure. Old logic related to counting running workflows removed. Introduced stimulus concept while deprecating non-compliant classes and methods.
* bumped versions to fix dependency vulnerabilities (#5256)
* Update patch version in GitHub workflows
The version number used in the branch checking step of the GitHub workflows has been updated. Instead of scanning for the branch containing the patch version 3.1.2, it now scans for the branch that contains version 3.1.3. This change is aligned with the updated product version.
* Update git branch grep pattern in workflow file
The git grep pattern has been corrected to properly identify tagged versions in the GitHub Actions workflow. The correction ensures that the workflow script fetches the right branches as per the release tag instead of patch.
* Update grep command in packages workflow
The grep command used in the 'packages.yml' GitHub workflow was previously looking for the exact 'refs/tags/3.1.3' string. This commit simplifies the command by making it only look for '3.1.3'. This adjustment will streamline the process and potentially prevent issues with branch recognition.
* Update package versions and refactor code for Elasticsearch and JavaScript modules
Updated versions of numerous packages in the Directory.Packages.props file to their latest stable releases. This includes updates to Elasticsearch, JavaScript, and MongoDB packages among others.

The WorkflowInstanceStore also saw a minor adjustment.
* Refactor workflow management with workflow definition handles
The existing workflow management has been significantly refactored, introducing the concept of "Workflow Definition Handles". These handles allow for consistent management whether we're dealing with a specific workflow definition, a version of a definition, or more flexible version constraints. This refactor also adjusts how workflow instances are created, now using a more intuitive and detailed "WorkflowInstanceOptions" approach.
* Add ResumeBookmarkResult and update related methods
Implemented a ResumeBookmarkResult class to handle bookmark resumption results. Methods related to resuming bookmarks have been refactored to return this new class, providing more information such as bookmarks' matched state. Also, some methods were optimized to break the loop early if no bookmarks were found, improving code efficiency.
* Update workflow definition, execution and correlation
This commit focuses on enhancements and adjustments to workflow definition and execution. Notable changes include the addition of ExecuteResponse model and new test workflow scenarios. Refactoring has been performed to improve readability and efficiency in various components. It also includes an important fix for the correct application of WorkflowDefinition filters, primarily using both DefinitionId and DefinitionVersionId for more accurate results.
* Refactor runtime codebase for better structure and workflow control
This commit involves changes to functionally reorganize the runtime codebase for improved structure. It also allows for better handling of workflows, particularly through the addition of original bookmarks in the workflow execution context.

Optimized the constructor of 'WorkflowInvoker' by using 'IServiceScopeFactory' to get instances of required services. Removed the 'OriginalBookmarks' property from 'WorkflowStateExtractor' and 'WorkflowState', a subsequent change included in 'WorkflowGraphBuilder' as well. Reorganized the namespaces in 'Elsa.Workflows.ComponentTests' project. Added 'UseCache' in WorkflowServer configurations.
* Removed RunWorkflowParams class
This update deletes the RunWorkflowParams class within the Runtime Requests of the Elsa.Workflows module. The class was no longer needed, hence the elimination and cleanup in the codebase.
* Update RunWorkflowParamsMapper to handle null or empty fields
This commit modifies the RunWorkflowParamsMapper in the Elsa.ProtoActor module. It primarily treats the BookmarkId and TriggerActivityId fields to return null if they are empty, boosting the application's robustness against potential null or empty field issues.
* Refactor workflow handling and improve null checks
In this update, the handling of workflows was refactored to improve efficiency. The 'RunAsync' method now correctly uses 'WorkflowGraph' as a parameter, instead of 'Workflow'. Additionally, null checks for 'bookmarkId' and 'activityHandle.ActivityInstanceId' have been improved to avoid null and empty strings. Finally, when '_workflowInstanceId' is null in the 'WorkflowGrain' class, it is now properly initialized by parsing the cluster identity.
* Enable ProtoActor in Elsa.Server.Web
This commit turns on the use of ProtoActor within the Elsa.Server.Web bundle. This switch may affect the system's behavior and performance.
* Added new workflow scheduling and management features
Implemented new features for creating, running, and scheduling workflow instances. The implementation added new files for handling workflow runtime and scheduling features, including creating and running a workflow instance request, a mapper for the request, and handler services. Modified files include updating method calls according to the new requests, updating workflow definitions, and adjustment to method arguments in Hangfire job class.
* Handle null or empty workflow instance IDs and correlation IDs
This commit introduces null checks for workflow instance IDs and correlation IDs in the workflow infrastructure. Previously, the code assumed that the IDs were provided. It now gracefully handles cases where they might be null or empty, preventing possible null reference exceptions and ensuring more robust workflow execution.
* Update mapping details in ResumeWorkflowJob
Removed unnecessary using statement for Elsa.Workflows.Runtime.Requests in ResumeWorkflowJob.cs. Updated references from DispatchWorkflowInstanceRequest to ScheduleExistingWorkflowInstanceRequest for retrieving ActivityHandle and WorkflowInstanceId.
* Refactor AzureServiceBus module and integrate into web project
In this commit, changes were made to the AzureServiceBus module to use Topic definitions for subscriptions. The Subscriptions property in the AzureServiceBusOptions and the Topic property in the SubscriptionDefinition class are marked as obsolete and suggestions to use TopicDefinition.Subscriptions instead have been added. The AzureServiceBus module was also integrated into the web project and configured to use options from the appsettings.json.
* Refactor code to use async scopes and improve service dependencies
Refactored code to use async scopes for improved task management. Also organized service dependencies better by moving service fetching inside methods where they are needed and propagating necessary dependencies through method parameters for cleaner code.
* Add Azure Service Bus workflow component tests
This commit introduces a set of workflow component tests for Azure Service Bus integration. These tests encompass scenarios like message receiving, sending messages with correlation IDS, and sending single messages. In addition, 'SignalResetEvent' test helper was removed, a new test helper 'TriggerSignal' was added, and a Mock ServiceBusClient and ServiceBusAdministrationClient were added to the WorkflowServer fixture. Lastly, the NSubstitute package was added to the test project's dependencies.
* Add support for deferred tasks in workflow execution context
Added support for deferred tasks in the workflow execution context. This implementation allows tasks to be deferred and executed right after persistence of bookmarks in the workflow. A new middleware, ExecuteDeferredActivityTasks, is introduced to handle the execution of these deferred tasks.
* Refactor TriggerSignal and SendMessage activity execution
Refactored the execution of TriggerSignal and SendMessage activities by using context.DeferTask to ensure the activities run asynchronously. Also, made code format modifications and simplifications such as handling ApplicationProperties better in the SendMessage activity, and other minor changes.
* Update workflow ID generation method
The workflow ID generation method has been updated in the WorkflowBuilder. Previously, it was always generated by _identityGenerator. Now, it only gets generated if the definitionId or Id is null or empty, otherwise it uses the existing value. This change brings the ID generation practice in line with how we handle definitionId.
* Add support for service bus testing in workflow tests
Two new helper classes, DictionaryExtensions and MockServiceBusProcessor, have been added to support mocking Azure service bus in workflow component tests. Also, the tests have been updated to use SignalManager to ensure proper order of execution.

* Refactor WorkflowInstanceImpl for improved workflow management
This change refactors the WorkflowInstanceImpl class to improve workflow management. It implements queuing of RunWorkflowOptions while a workflow is running and ensures state before any workflow operations. Furthermore, workflow host creation is replaced with directly creating and managing workflow instances.
* Add DefaultFormattersFeature and update dependencies
A new feature, DefaultFormattersFeature, has been added to the Elsa.Common module. The WorkflowsFeature in the Elsa.Workflows.Core module has been updated to depend on this new feature. This will ensure that default JSON formatters are available across the application.
* Refactor JsonFormatter with JsonSerializerOptions property
Improved the JsonFormatter class by introducing a private JsonSerializerOptions property. The new implementation uses this property in the FromStringAsync method instead of initializing a new JsonSerializerOptions each time, improving efficiency. The JsonStringEnumConverter has also been moved to the class constructor.
* Refactor WorkflowInstanceImpl for improved code clarity
The refactor includes replacing direct field access with properties in multiple places for WorkflowGraph and WorkflowState. It also makes _queuedRunWorkflowOptions field readonly and removes unnecessary newline characters. These changes aim to improve readability, maintainability and encapsulation.

Lastly, it introduces new configurations in application settings to fine-tune the workflow runtime environment.
* Refactor worker management in AzureServiceBus module
The codebase has been simplified by removing the unnecessary management of worker ref counts in the AzureServiceBus module. Previously, to manage worker instances, we kept a count of references to each worker and removed it when the count dropped to zero. This complexity has been entirely removed to make the module simpler and easier to maintain. Now we just create a worker when necessary, without tracking its usage across the codebase.
* Refactor workflow runtime with distributed locking and state checking
The workflow runtime has been refactored for better concurrency control and state management. The changes primarily include the introduction of distributed locking in action methods of the DistributedWorkflowClient and the handling of workflow instance states in the LocalWorkflowClient.

* Remove snapshot and persistence functionality from WorkflowInstanceImpl
This commit eliminates snapshot creation and persistence from the WorkflowInstanceImpl class. Methods related to these processes have been removed, including SaveSnapshotAsync(), ApplySnapshot(), and GetState(). This has also impacted the constructor and OnStarted() method where certain calls were made related to persistence. The need to manage and recover state asynchronously was eliminated, simplifying the implementation.
* Refactor workflow client implementations and update WorkflowStateMapper
Workflow clients in the modules Elsa.Workflows.Runtime and Elsa.ProtoActor have been refactored for better maintainability and readability. The WorkflowStateMapper in the Elsa.Workflows.Management is updated to include an "Apply" method, splitting the mapping functionality into smaller, more manageable methods. Also, usage of the Azure Service Bus Module in Elsa.Server.Web has been turned off.

Changed the referenced workflow definition in the test scenario from EmployeeGreetingWorkflow to GreetEmployeesWorkflow. This update reflects more precise naming in our component tests for the BulkDispatchWorkflows scenario.
* Refactor BulkDispatchWorkflows and simplify error handling
The BulkDispatchWorkflows class in Elsa Workflows Runtime module has been refactored to simplify it. The detailed error handling with a list of errors has been removed and it is now directly dispatching child workflows without checking for a successful dispatch. The ProcessItem method has been removed which handled the errors previously, and the DispatchChildWorkflowAsync method no longer returns a dispatch response. This substantially simplifies the code and reduces its complexity.
* Update workflow runtime and distributed locking configuration settings
In the web server settings, the workflow runtime was changed from 'Distributed' to 'ProtoActor'. Also, the distributed lock provider setting has been moved into a new 'DistributedLocking' section in the configuration settings, allowing more detailed lock options to be set, including a lock acquisition timeout.
* Replace ProtoActor with DistributedRuntime in WorkflowServer
The current commit modifies our WorkflowServer configuration under our component tests. The "UseProtoActor" method which was previously used for runtime configuration has been commented out and replaced with "UseDistributedRuntime". This change suggests a shift towards a distributed runtime environment.
* Add new services and classes for workflow messaging
This commit adds new classes and services to facilitate workflow messaging. These include 'BroadcastWorkflowInboxMessageOptions', 'IWorkflowInbox', 'NewWorkflowInboxMessage', 'SubmitWorkflowInboxMessageResult', 'WorkflowInboxMessage', 'WorkflowInboxMessageDeliveryParams', and 'WorkflowInboxMessageFilter'. Additionally, changes were made in 'HttpWorkflowsMiddleware.cs' and 'WorkflowRuntimeFeature.cs' to use 'IWorkflowRunner' for executing workflows, and deprecated 'IWorkflowHostFactory' and 'WorkflowInvoker'. The messaging-related classes provide methods and properties to manage and manipulate workflow messages, delivery options and results. 'IWorkflowInbox' provides an interface for delivering messages to workflow instances while 'IWorkflowRunner' fulfills running workflows.

* Refactor WorkflowDefinitionFilter and update related modules
Empty lines were removed between property declarations to improve readability in WorkflowDefinitionFilter. An error where 'filter.IsReadonly' was used instead of 'IsReadonly' was also corrected to ensure proper functionality. Additionally, WorkflowDefinitionFilter was imported in the Delete and Revert endpoint modules of the Elsa.Workflow.Api class to maintain consistency across the codebase.
* Change MongoUserStore to non-abstract class
The MongoUserStore class was previously tagged as an abstract class in the Identity module of Elsa.MongoDb. This update changes the MongoUserStore class from an abstract to a non-abstract (concrete) class to enable direct instantiation.
* Add ForwardedType attribute and update bookmarks
This commit introduces a new `ForwardedType` attribute to aid in forwarding types to new types when deserializing JSON. Additionally, the existing bookmarks related to workflow runtime activities have been updated. These changes also require modifying the `PolymorphicSerializer` in the Elsa.MongoDb project to handle types using the new `TypeHelper.GetLatestType` method.
* Fix logger reference in exception handling
The logger reference used in the catch block of the DefaultTriggerScheduler.cs file was incorrect. This commit corrects it by using the appropriate logger variable for logging any potential cron expression format errors.
* Refactor component tests and improve code cleanliness
This commit refactor the component tests, introduced new interfaces and events related to workflow definition and trigger change token signals. Removed an unused file, DictionaryExtensions.cs and refactored the GetOrAdd method to better handle null values.

Adjusted code structure, and divided longer lines of code into smaller, multi-line chunks for better readability. This refactoring makes the underlying operations and structuring of the code more apparent, aiding in future code maintenance and understanding.
* Change target branch in packages.yml workflow
This commit modifies the Github actions workflow for packaging. The branch from which to fetch changes is now specified explicitly as 'origin/patch/3.1.1' instead of the default 'origin/main'. This adjustment is specific for package creation under certain conditions.
* Refactor alteration runner logic and simplify CancelActivityHandler
The DefaultAlterationRunner.cs file was refactored to include a workflow middleware pipeline, replacing the previous method of updating workflow state. Comments were added to discuss potential solutions for reusing the same pipeline in the workflow runtime. The CancelActivityHandler was simplified by removing multiple functions and replacing them with a single CancelAsync method.
* Add RunAlterationsMiddleware to handle workflow alterations
The commit introduces a new middleware, RunAlterationsMiddleware, that is designed to process workflow alterations. The middleware is in charge of executing alteration handlers and taking care of any required commit actions. The original code for handling alterations in DefaultAlterationRunner has been significantly reduced as it now delegates most of its responsibility to this new middleware.
* Add comments to IAlterationPlanManager interface methods
In the IAlterationPlanManager interface, explanatory comments were added to each method. These include methods for getting a plan by ID, checking if all jobs in the plan have been completed, and completing an alteration plan. The changes made will greatly aid in understanding the purpose and functionality of each method.
* Refactor pipeline execution methods and replace middleware
The workflow execution pipeline has been refactored to allow for dynamic configuration. The middleware components are now retrievable properties and can be replaced individually. This change provides more extensibility with modifying the pipeline execution and replacing the DefaultActivitySchedulerMiddleware with desired middleware.
* Refactor pipeline alteration and addition methods
Simplified the pipeline alteration process in Elsa.Alterations. Instead of manually handling middleware delegates, added a new extension method, ReplaceTerminal, in WorkflowExecutionMiddlewareExtensions.cs to replace the terminal middleware component. This approach improves code readability and maintenance.
* Refactor RunAlterationsMiddleware class
Removed an unnecessary extension class and updated the RunAlterationsMiddleware class to streamline its structure. The handlers are now initialized directly in the constructor, eliminating the need for an additional field. Renamed local variable for better code clarity.
* Refactor variable name in RunAlterationsMiddleware
The variable name 'handlers1' has been renamed to 'supportedHandlers' in the RunAlterationsMiddleware.cs file. This change improves code readability and makes it clear that the list contains only the handlers that can handle the given alteration.
* Change RunAsync method to return void
The RunAsync function in the RunAlterationsMiddleware class no longer returns a boolean value. The returned 'false' has been replaced with a 'return' statement, and the 'return true' statement has been completely removed. This refactor simplifies the control flow when executing alterations.
* Refactor variable handling and improve flowchart completion
Refactored variable value conversion and update logic in ModifyVariableHandler classes. Removal of some service dependencies simplifies the implementation and reduces coupling. Also streamlined completion process in Flowchart classes, making it more efficient and improving readability.
* Add running status filter to workflow instance finder
A new method was introduced to filter only running workflow instances before applying alterations in the "WorkflowInstanceFinder" service. The change ensures that alterations affect only workflows that are currently running, increasing the effectiveness and accuracy of the system.
* Rename ActivityId to ActivityNodeId in related classes
Modified the name of the 'ActivityId' property to 'ActivityNodeId' across multiple classes including 'ActivityWorkItemState' and 'WorkflowStateExtractor'. This change reflects the usage of NodeId more accurately in the workflow process. The methods 'FindActivityById' across classes were updated accordingly. Also, an attribute '[DynamicallyAccessedMembers(DynamicallyAccessedMemberTypes.PublicParameterlessConstructor)]' was added to two methods in 'WorkflowRunner'.
* Refactor code in Flowchart class
Removed unnecessary variable 'flowchartContext' in the 'CompleteIfNoPendingWorkAsync' method of the Flowchart class. The 'context' variable has been used directly for the 'HasPendingWork' check and 'CompleteActivityAsync' call, simplifying the code without altering functionality.
* Update workflow methods with parameterless constructor constraints
This change introduces parameterless constructor constraints on workflow-related methods in Elsa.Workflows.Core. Specifically, both RunAsync and BuildWorkflowAsync methods had their generics constraint updated to require a parameterless constructor. This ensures only workflows with a parameterless constructor can be run or built. Additionally, unused usages of `RequiresUnreferencedCode` attribute were removed from Elsa.Features.
* Remove Elsa.Alteration Handlers and implement workflow alteration activities
The Elsa.Alterations.Handlers, Services, and Endpoints have been removed and replaced with Elsa.Alterations.Activities for various steps in executing an alteration plan. These activities include submitting an alteration plan, generating alteration jobs, and dispatching alteration jobs. New models for ActivityFilter, AlterationWorkflowInstanceFilter, and alteration activity summaries are also introduced for better management of alteration plans.
* Add 'PrintMessage' custom activity and update naming rules
A new 'PrintMessage' activity has been added to the custom activities of the ConsoleApp, which simply writes a 'Hello world!' message. On top of this, the naming rules in the code styling settings have been expanded, introducing separate rules for instance and static private fields.
* Remove V3_1 database migration files
The V3_1 database migration files were deleted across all database providers, including MySql, SQL Server, SQLite and PostgreSQL. This is indicative of a rollback or significant revision to the data migration strategy.
* Update product version and modify tables in Elsa DB context
Updated "Elsa" DbSet product version from "7.0.11" to "7.0.14". Additionally, added new properties as well as modified existing ones in tables like "Elsa.KeyValues.Entities.SerializedKeyValuePair" to improve data structure. Also properly ignored certain entities in the Alterations DbContext.

* Update default value for ArgumentDefinition Type
The default value for the `Type` property in the `ArgumentDefinition` class was updated to `typeof(object)`. The `Type` property of `inputDefinition` in the `WorkflowBuilder` class was also modified to be set as `typeof(T)`. These modifications enable more flexible type handling.
* Refactor SafeSerializer and serialization services
The SafeSerializer service and related serialization services have been comprehensively refactored. This includes the removal of internal notifications, the incorporation of [RequiresUnreferencedCode] attributes, and changes in method signatures. Methods have been simplified to return ValueTasks directly from the JsonSerializer, and the notification sender dependency was removed.
* Add JSON serialization for alterations
Implemented a JSON serializer and a custom converter for the IAlteration interface in the Elsa.Alterations.Core.Serialization namespace. Also, introduced a new IJsonSerializer interface and an implementation for standard JSON serialization in Elsa.Common. These serialization changes enhance modularity and extensibility of JSON operations, and improve handling of IAlteration objects.
* Add "IsSystem" field to Workflow Definitions and Instances
This update introduces a new boolean field "IsSystem" to the Workflow Definition and Workflow Instance models. This field is designed to identify system workflows which aren't meant to be modified by users. Management and Runtime module code, API endpoints, database migrations, and related classes have been updated to include this new field. The MongoDB indices and Dapper migrations have been updated as well, and serialization/deserialization processes for these types have been modified to handle this new attribute.
* Remove outdated database migrations
Deleted database migration files from the MySql, SqlServer, and PostgreSql projects.
* Add V3_1 migration for Elsa.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite
This commit introduces the V3_1 migration for the Elsa.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite module. It includes changes in Alterations, Runtime, Management, and Identity contexts.

Refactor the endpoint for listing workflow instances to use a more robust enum parsing method and improve validation. Update models to accept string collections for statuses and sub-statuses, which enables validating and parsing these enums directly within the endpoint.
* Improve InputJsonConverter handling and trimming suppression
A new switch case block has been added for better handling of different types of JsonValueKind in InputJsonConverter. Also, a suppression message for the IL2026 trimming warning has been included to prevent potential runtime issues caused by code trimming, although justifications for this suppression are still pending.
* Add UIHint to While activity's Condition input
The Condition input in the While activity in Elsa.Workflows.Core has been updated to also include a UIHint. This aims to improve user input by specifically defining it as a SingleLine type.
* Remove unused using directives in test classes
The using directives for System, System.Collections.Generic, System.IO, and others were not necessary in many of the test classes. These unused directives have been removed to enhance code readability and maintainability.
* Update source port retrieval in ConnectionJsonConverter
The source port retrieval code in ConnectionJsonConverter.cs has been updated. It now uses TryGetProperty instead of GetProperty, enabling it to handle cases where the "port" property may not exist. This enhances error handling and resilience in the activities module.
* Refactor InputJsonConverter for proper variable expressions handling
The InputJsonConverter in the Elsa.Workflows.Serialization has been expanded for efficient handling of variable expressions during the JSON conversion process. The refactor ensures appropriate extraction and assignment of values to variables. This adds robustness to the serialization process, maintaining variable types after serialization.
* Add tests for variable expressions serialization
A new `Tests.cs` file has been added under the `Elsa.IntegrationTests/Serialization/VariableExpressions` directory. This file contains tests for ensuring the serialization of variable expressions works correctly. A corresponding `SampleWorkflow` file has also been established, providing the workflows to be used in the tests.
* Refactor workflow builder extension class
The WorkflowDefinitionBuilderExtensions class has been deleted and replaced with WorkflowBuilderExtensions in Elsa.Workflows.Core. This new class retains similar functionality but includes more detailed comments and dynamic member access capabilities in its method definition.
Removed the ItemSource property and related logic in ForEachT.cs. Instead of considering two sources (Items and ItemSource) for iterations, the code now only iterates over the Items collection. Additional logic has been added to initialize Items to an empty collection when it is not set.
This update includes adding an optional input parameter to the ScheduleChildActivity signal's constructor in order to pass options to the child activity. The input parameter is used while scheduling activities in FlowFork.cs and Flowchart.cs activities. This enables clearer data transfer and scheduling in the system.
A new BatchProcessing sample project has been added demonstrating how to process items in batches. ForEach and ParallelForEach activities were updated to allow using an IAsyncEnumerable as source. BulkDispatchWorkflows was also refactored to improve its efficiency and handling.
Adjusted logical conditions in ParameterizedQueryBuilderExtensions and For activity to work as expected. The former's conditional for IsLatestAndPublished now correctly uses 'and' while the latter properly increments currentValue. Renamed BulkCancel Endpoint class in WorkflowInstances to more accurately represent its purpose.
The FlowJoin activity's join mode now includes a UIHint, which indicates its input is a dropdown. This improves user interface interaction by allowing the selection of join mode from a dropdown menu rather than manual input.
Added a reference to Variable.Id in the SetVariable activity within the Elsa.Workflows.Core module to ensure the correct variable scope is utilized. This change enhances the precision of the variable resolution process by ensuring the correct variable is identified and updated.
Changed a number of instances in both activities and UI Hints classes across multiple modules in the workflow core to utilize UIHints. The UI hint "DropDown" has been added to relevant input fields to improve the user interface. Special handling for Enum properties in the drop-down options provider has also been created.
* add a more generic UIHandler to customize how inputAttributes can be handle by the ui
* Add IPropertyUIHandlerResolver and update PropertyUIHandlerResolver
Introduced a new interface, IPropertyUIHandlerResolver, to resolve UI options for a property. Refactored PropertyUIHandlerResolver to implement this interface and removed the unnecessary partial class structure. Also, cleaned up some unnecessary usings in various files for better code organization.
* Refactor variable name and description in InputDescriptor
The 'uISpecifications' variable in the InputDescriptor model is renamed to 'uiSpecifications' for better readability. Additionally, the associated comment was revised to explain that the dictionary is used by the UI.
* "Refactor codebase for improved organization and cleaner architecture"
The codebase has been significantly refactored, moving several classes to more appropriate namespaces for improved organization and cleaner architecture. This includes shifting UI hint handlers, activities, and memory-related components, amongst others. The changes should improve code readability and maintainability, but as this is a broad refactoring effort, thorough regression testing is advised.
* Add CheckList UIHint with associated handler and provider
This update introduces a new UIHint called CheckList to the Elsa.Workflows.Core. This includes the necessary handler and provider classes. The handler is registered in the WorkflowsFeature.cs, and the CheckList UIHint key has been added to the InputUIHints.cs. Various associated files have been created in both the Elsa.Api.Client and Elsa.Workflows.Core project to support this new UIHint.
