Dedicated Causal Loop Diagram (CLD)

[JohnCobbler]

Proposing a new CLD graph type to support System Dynamics Causal Loop Diagrams.

Current flowchart rendering is a bit inadequate as its hierarchical layout (Dagre/ELK) fails to optimize for the circular, non-hierarchical feedback loops that define CLDs. require a layout algorithm (e.g., Force-Directed) specialized for cycles.

Example of current sub-optimal layout for a simple reinforcing loop:

graph TD A[Demand] -->| + | B[Production]; B -->| + | A;

nevertheless I am absolutely in love with the product, it is a truly dream come true <3
