The entities package defines database entity classes used throughout Merlin for managing core components such as studies, runs, and workers. These classes provide a structured interface for interacting with persisted data, ensuring consistency and maintainability.

At the heart of this package is the abstract base class DatabaseEntity, which outlines the standard methods that all database-backed entities must implement, including save, delete, and reload operations.
