Bug fix:
- fixed an issue when creating/deleting edges in the workflow designer

The update introduces two new workflow actions and several improvements:
📝 Fill Form Action: Automates filling forms on any website by letting users specify field selectors (CSS, XPath, label, etc.) and values (including variables from other steps). Ideal for repetitive tasks like registrations or contact forms.
🔄 Create Variable Action: Lets users process and combine data using Liquid templates, referencing other workflow outputs or metadata to generate dynamic content. Useful for messages, totals, and data merging.
⚡ Improvements: Faster workflow designer, node copy/paste and auto-layout, improved text display and shortcuts, and fixes for variable interpolation, canvas rendering, and undo/redo stability.

✨ New Features
- If action for conditional workflow logic
- Liquid templating engine integration
