Show app mode run validation warning (#12557)

## Summary
Adds an app mode validation warning so users can see when a workflow has
errors before running and jump directly back to graph mode to review
them.

## Changes
- **What**: Adds a reusable app mode warning banner above the Run button
when the execution error store reports workflow errors, including
validation and missing asset states.
- **What**: Reuses the existing graph-error navigation flow so the
warning action switches out of app mode and opens the Errors panel in
graph mode.
- **What**: Updates the app mode Run button icon and accessible label in
the warning state while keeping the Run action non-blocking.
- **What**: Adds unit coverage for the warning render/accessibility
state and an E2E flow that triggers a validation failure, dismisses the
overlay, and opens graph errors from the app mode warning.
- **Breaking**: None.
- **Dependencies**: None.

## Review Focus
The warning intentionally mirrors graph mode behavior: it surfaces the
error state but does not prevent the user from clicking Run. This avoids
turning display-level validation signals into hard execution blockers.

The warning is driven by the existing `hasAnyError` aggregate, so
missing nodes, missing models, and missing media are included alongside
prompt/node/execution errors.

## Tests
- `pnpm format`
- `pnpm lint`
- `pnpm typecheck`
- `pnpm test:unit`
- `pnpm knip`
- `pnpm test:browser:local
