Description
### Prerequisites
- [x] I am running the latest version of ComfyUI
- [x] I have searched existing issues to make sure this isn't a duplicate
- [x] I have tested with all custom nodes disabled ([see how](https://docs.comfy.org/troubleshooting/custom-node-issues#step-1%3A-test-with-all-custom-nodes-disabled))
### What happened?
When trying to save a workflow I get an error message:
Somehow ComfyUI tries to save a file with name "workflows/default.json". In api.ts:946:
`/userdata/${encodeURIComponent(file)}?overwrite=${options.overwrite}&full_info=${options.full_info}`
the file parameter is URL encoded, leading to this error. Maybe the path should be excluded?
Best regards
Alexander

Research direction
Read api.ts around line 946 and trace how the file parameter is constructed for workflow and subgraph saves. Verify the request path handling for names such as workflows/default.json, then confirm that saving these files works without the reported error.
