Motivation and Context
Treating inbound gateway nodes the same as standard request-reply nodes was leading to issues with diagram UX, the resulting flows were not intuitive since the inbound gateways forced the flow to loop back around to the origin, leading to diagrams that were difficult to work with.
This PR introduces the concept of a "follower" node, allowing the inbound gateway's reply channel to be represented as a separate node, maintaining a clean left-to-right (or top-to-bottom) flow.
