Action Creator

Author or modify a Datex Studio action (configurationTypeId=18) on a branch — server-side transactional flows that compose entity CRUD and other actions inside a single commit/rollback boundary. The UI never calls actions directly — a function wraps the action call as the UI → action bridge.
