Research direction

Start by reading the linked pyprocgame modes documentation and the repository's state-graph entry points to understand how ordered priorities and event bubbling could map onto the existing model. Done would require a defined design for graph priorities and node access, plus agreement that it can support mode-like behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

If you look at pyprocgame's modes, they are stored in an ordered queue that allows each mode to decide whether a switch event bubbles down further the queue, or not.

It would be awesome if our state graphs could somehow be marked with a priority, and that our nodes would have access to that priority, so we can add a similar feature by using a state graph for a "mode".
