> Camel YAML DSL currently supports built-in route model deserializers and custom resolvers registered in the Camel registry. However, optional Camel modules do not have a simple generic way to contribute YAML route step deserializers automatically when the module is present on the classpath.
> This makes it difficult for an optional module to expose a custom YAML route step without requiring changes in the YAML DSL module itself or requiring users to manually register YAML resolver beans before route parsing.
> This improvement proposes adding a YAML-only extension point that allows optional modules to provide YAML route step deserializers in a discoverable way.
> The goal is to let an optional module contribute support for a custom YAML step name, map that YAML node to a Camel route model definition, and then rely on the existing model/reifier/ProcessorFactory mechanisms for runtime behavior.
> h3. The implementation should:
>  * allow optional modules to contribute {{YamlDeserializerResolver}} implementations;
>  * discover those resolvers before YAML routes are parsed;
>  * preserve the existing built-in YAML DSL behavior;
>  * preserve existing registry-based resolver lookup;
>  * support ordering or precedence when multiple resolvers are available;
>  * allow custom YAML steps to contain nested steps when the target model definition supports them;
>  * avoid hard-coding component-specific step names in the YAML DSL module.
>  
> h3. Acceptance criteria:
>  * A test or sample optional module can provide a custom YAML route step deserializer.
>  * The custom YAML step is discovered automatically when the module is available.
>  * The custom YAML step can be parsed into a Camel route model definition.
>  * Nested YAML {{steps}} are supported when the custom model definition supports child outputs.
>  * Existing YAML routes and built-in EIPs continue to parse unchanged.
>  * Resolver ordering/precedence is deterministic.
>  * The extension mechanism is documented for component authors.
