## Description

This library provides a centralized state management system for handling modal lifecycles and visibility within React applications. By decoupling modal triggers from the component hierarchy, it enables developers to manage UI overlays globally without the need for passing visibility flags through deep component trees.

The system utilizes a registry pattern to define reusable modal templates, allowing for dynamic component injection and programmatic instantiation from any location in an application. It distinguishes itself through a promise-based orchestration model, which allows calling components to pause execution and await user input or confirmation directly from a modal window.

The framework supports dynamic data injection, enabling the passage of context-specific properties into modal instances at runtime. It also provides tools for monitoring modal lifecycles, facilitating cleanup tasks and event handling as components transition between open and closed states.
