Cause (Documented platform behavior): Graph validation requires a single entry and (for sequential agents) a terminal End/Loop node.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- "orphan nodes count as starting nodes" inferred from starting-node computation.
Other error fragments:
- Graph should have only one start node
- Graph should have at least one End/Loop node

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Flowise Agentflow] "Multiple starting nodes are not allowed" / Sequential agents "Graph should have only one start node" / "Graph should have at least one End/Loop node"
Recommended action: Delete or connect orphan nodes; keep one Start node; add End (or Loop) node.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
