Summary
Adds a BNGL (BioNetGen Language) network diagram to the biomodel detail page for rule-based models.
GET /biomodel/{id}/biomodel.bnglendpoint. Fetches the BNGL file with retry logic(mirroring the existing VCML/SBML endpoints), and returns empty data when there's nothing meaningful
to visualize — model isn't rule-based (404), content is empty/minimal, or the
molecule typesblockis missing or empty. Genuine upstream failures now surface as a 500, consistent with sibling endpoints.
BnglVisualizerSectioncomponent, rendered in the Overview tab of the biomodeldetail page (
/search/[bmid]). Fetches the BNGL data and renders it via a bundled visualizationtoolkit (
public/bnglviz/) inside a sandboxed iframe. The section stays hidden for models with no meaningful bngl content — no visual change on models without one.
