These are examples of BPMN playbooks. The only unsupported elements in there are: - "intermediateThrowEvent", "intermediateCatchEvent": these require storage/communication between playbooks. We can make a playbook step in cacao, but that's not the same thing (and requires context). - "inclusiveGateway": usually used for a choice, e.g. "what is the course of action". Can be converted using manual steps, but the examples lack text in the gateway to give enough data to do this. The choice for both of these for now is to error and not generate output. There should be more diagnostic output in general on what needs to be done for a meaningful conversion.
This metadata should still be changed by the implementer, as this is not taken from the BPMN playbook. This also does not manage to please Cymph, which does not find this a valid playbook, but refuses to explain why.

These functions complicate the testing logic and should be ideally tested aswel. I would make the functions with direct assertions.

step names are used as variables but these apear to be ids so you can just do a lookup in the workflows map

This function looks up by the name field, not Id's (that's the function above it). This is very convenient to find the converted step knowing only the original name.
This puts both binaries into a simple rule. This does complicate things if we add other targets in build/, but for now this works fine.
This includes some points where code was put in more correct locations, and some extra testing.
This works for both build/soarca and build/soarca-conversion, and properly depends on all go files to detect rebuilds. The default build target always triggers this, as swag will touch api/docs.go; filtering this out broke the dependency for reasons beyond comprehension, but since builds are quite quick this is okay for now.

This adds conversion from bpmn to cacao. Bpmn does not have the variables or actions that cacao (or soarca) has, so this is effectively a starting point for real conversion.
