GOTCHA: Cameo 2026x: SysMLv2 Plugin: A "transition" from an empty entry entry is interpreted (consistently) as a succession not a transition (LIKELY A SPEC EXAMPLES ISSUE). WORKAROUND: Use start:StateAction
ISSUE: SysMLv2.0 spec: States: Inconsistent concerning use of entry action and notation for a "start state" in examples (cf. p.115)
SysML2.0: ERROR: The Specification body, Annex and multiple SysMLv2 PILOT Github samples show or use in code an incorrect transition from an (empty) entry action of a state (breaks the rules for transitions). Prefer transition from start:StateAction!
