Research direction
Start with model-api/src/commonMain/kotlin/org/modelix/model/api/INode.kt at line 54 and trace how MPS properties and links are written and read. Clarify the ID-based representation, compatibility expectations, and whether model versioning or migration is required. Done means the breaking-change scope and migration path are specified and covered by relevant tests.
