No current context. Please create a diagram first with:
  - new_bpmn(name) to create a new BPMN diagram
  - new_from_mermaid(name, mermaidCode) to convert from Mermaid
  - open_bpmn(filename) to open an existing BPMN file
  - open_mermaid_file(filename) to convert a Mermaid file

// Step 1: Create a new process (sets it as current context)
await new_bpmn({ name: "Approval Workflow" });

// Step 2: Add elements (all operations apply to current diagram)
await add_event({ eventType: "start", name: "Request Received" });
await add_activity({ activityType: "userTask", name: "Review Request" });
await add_gateway({ gatewayType: "exclusive", name: "Approved?" });
await add_activity({ activityType: "serviceTask", name: "Process Approval" });
await add_activity({ activityType: "userTask", name: "Handle Rejection" });
await add_event({ eventType: "end", name: "Complete" });

// Step 3: Connect elements
await connect({ sourceId: "StartEvent_1", targetId: "UserTask_1" });
await connect({ sourceId: "UserTask_1", targetId: "ExclusiveGateway_1" });
await connect({ sourceId: "ExclusiveGateway_1", targetId: "ServiceTask_1", label: "Yes" });
await connect({ sourceId: "ExclusiveGateway_1", targetId: "UserTask_2", label: "No" });
await connect({ sourceId: "ServiceTask_1", targetId: "EndEvent_1" });
await connect({ sourceId: "UserTask_2", targetId: "EndEvent_1" });

// Step 4: Apply auto-layout for proper positioning
await auto_layout();

// Step 5: Save and export the diagram
await save_as({ filename: "approval-workflow.bpmn" });
const xml = await export();

// Step 1: Create from Mermaid syntax (much more concise!)
await new_from_mermaid({ 
  name: "Approval Workflow",
  mermaidCode: `
    graph TD
      A((Request Received)) --> B[Review Request]
      B --> C{Approved?}
      C -->|Yes| D[Process Approval]
      C -->|No| E[Handle Rejection]
      D --> F((Complete))
      E --> F
  `
});

// Step 2: Apply auto-layout (Mermaid conversion includes basic layout)
await auto_layout();

// Step 3: Make additional edits if needed
await update_element({ 
  elementId: "UserTask_1", 
  properties: { assignee: "reviewer" }
});

// Step 4: Save and export
await save_as({ filename: "approval-workflow.bpmn" });
const xml = await export();

// Create first diagram
await new_bpmn({ name: "Process A" });
await add_event({ eventType: "start" });
await add_activity({ activityType: "task", name: "Task A" });
await save_as({ filename: "process-a.bpmn" });

// Create second diagram (automatically closes the first)
await new_bpmn({ name: "Process B" });
await add_event({ eventType: "start" });
await add_activity({ activityType: "task", name: "Task B" });
await save_as({ filename: "process-b.bpmn" });

// Go back to first diagram
await open_bpmn({ filename: "process-a.bpmn" });
await add_event({ eventType: "end" });
await save();

// Check current diagram info
const info = await current();
console.log(info); // Shows: { name: "Process A", filename: "process-a.bpmn", ... }
