Workflows are not saved: canvas resets to empty after leaving the Workflows view ("Invalid workflow graph") #1311

Summary

In OpenBot Desktop, nothing built in the Workflows editor is persisted. Nodes, edges and even the workflow name are lost as soon as I leave the Workflows view (or after a restart). A red "Invalid workflow graph" toast is shown, even for a minimal, fully connected graph.

Environment

• OpenBot Desktop 0.65.0 (Stable track, "up to date")
• Windows 11 x64
• Default provider: Claude (Claude Code runtime 2.1.219, downloaded by OpenBot), signed in with a Claude account
• Also connected: ChatGPT

Steps to reproduce

1. Open Workflows (left rail) > New workflow.
2. Add trigger, change it to Manual.
3. Add node > Agent, pick any agent, type an instruction (e.g. "Say hello.").
4. Connect Trigger output to the Agent text input.
5. (Optional) Add node > Output (Notification), connect Agent output to it, give it a title.
6. (Optional) Rename the workflow, or click "Run workflow".
7. Switch to another view (e.g. Agents) and back to Workflows.

Expected

The workflow, its nodes, edges and name are still there.

Actual

• The canvas is empty again ("Start with a trigger").
• The workflow list shows "Untitled workflow – 0 steps"; the custom name is gone.
• A red "Invalid workflow graph" toast appears when the first trigger is added and stays on screen while building, even after the graph is complete.
• A larger workflow (11 nodes: Manual trigger, Prompt, 6 Agent nodes, Approval, Output) built earlier and showing "11 steps" in the list was also lost later; its renamed entry disappeared from the list entirely.
• Restarting OpenBot (Settings > Updates > Restart) did not help.

Notes

Agents and channels work normally (agents reply in chat), so this looks specific to workflow persistence/validation.
