Description

When building workflows and there is an unresolved error in the path configuration, the save button becomes disabled with a red indicator. The blocks users from saving the workflow but there is also no way to tell what is wrong.

It would be great to indicate paths with errors or have a list of errors that can be clicked to open the configuration with error.

Research direction

Start in the workflow builder's path-configuration validation and save-button error state; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Trace how unresolved path errors are represented and surfaced in the UI. Done means users can identify the erroneous path or open an error entry to reach its configuration before saving.
