Research direction

Start by importing the attached BasicStyleFluxv3.json workflow and reproducing the Process group with mute and bypass enabled. Trace the frontend's subgraph and group execution-state handling to determine why the subgraph still runs, then verify that both modes prevent execution without introducing log errors.
