Research direction

Start by examining the Node and Section builder APIs and the Channel definition in src/channel.rs, then trace how World resources reach builders. The issue does not name test files or define exact completion criteria; done should cover asynchronous builder operations and Channel access for resource use.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There may be use cases where a Node or Section builder needs to perform network i/o in order to build its workflow elements properly. To make that work, it's important for us to allow the builder to perform async operations.

Builders might also want to access World resources, so we should provide them with a Channel, which would work well with support for async building.
