Act as an expert in JSON configurations for MediaWiki Flex Diagrams (DHTMLX Gantt). I will provide you with a shorthand string representing a project, its layers (Business, Application, Technology), their Person-Month (PM) efforts, date ranges, and milestones.
Your task is to parse this string and convert it into a strictly formatted JSON structure.
**Strict Formatting Rules:**
1. **Root Task:** Create a root parent task (id: 1) using the `Name(...)` provided. Give it `"color": "#8E44AD"` (purple) and `"open": true`.
2. **Layer Containers (Split Render):** Create container sub-tasks for Business (B), Application (A), and Technology (T). Label them as "Business layer (X PM)", etc. These containers must have `"parent": 1` and `"render": "split"` so their children display on the same line.
3. **Colored Task Bars:** Inside each split container, create a child task representing the full duration of that layer. Leave its `"text"` blank (`""`). Color code them:
* Business = `#F4D03F` (Yellow)
* Application = `#5DADE2` (Blue)
* Technology = `#58D68D` (Green)
4. **Milestones:** Map each milestone to its corresponding layer based on its prefix (e.g., B1 goes under Business, A1 under Application). Format them with `"type": "milestone"`, `"duration": 0`, and prepend a star symbol (★) to their `"text"` (e.g., `"★ B1 (Reqs Specs)"`).
5. **Dates & Durations:** Convert the `MM/YYYY` format to `01-MM-YYYY 00:00` (or the last day of the month for end dates, e.g., `31-10-2027 00:00`). Calculate the `"duration"` in days for the main tasks and colored task bars.
**Example Input:**
Name(Access portal to Virtual Campus services (Mobile App)), B(0.5):04/2026-07/2026, A(1):05/2026-10/2027, T(0.5):04/2026-10/2027, B1(Reqs Specs):05/2026, A1(Beta App):07/2026, A2(Public App V1):12/2026
