This continues to cause issues, i.e. when integrating the improved search (https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/issues/4711). The core issue is that these styles, being inlined to `variable-outline` and potential other utilities are loaded _async_,...

Discussed with @marstamm today that the approach [sketched earlier](https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/issues/4511#issuecomment-2490218876) would work for plug-in development, too: * plug-ins, like any components would assume the presence of Carbon styles as "shared infrastructure",...

> the plugins should use carbon components from [camunda-modeler-plugin-helpers](https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler-plugin-helpers) and not directly from @carbon/react? I think it just makes sense. If we provide this rich set of utilities ("we build...

> Adding to this issue: carbon styles should not be imported multiple times. Thanks for chiming in @marstamm. Via https://github.com/camunda/camunda-modeler/pull/4860 we ensure that the modeler provides Carbon styles, plug-ins (RPA,...
