Modules manager

The Modules Manager in Nelson provides the infrastructure to extend and manage the environment at runtime.

It allows modules to be dynamically added, removed, and queried, making the system flexible and adaptable to different workflows.

With support for both internal and external modules, the manager handles module metadata, paths, and versioning.

It also provides utilities for organizing user-defined toolboxes, managing gateways, and ensuring that dependencies are properly loaded.

This framework simplifies module distribution, integration, and maintenance, forming the backbone of Nelson’s modular architecture.
