Contributions are untrusted text.
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 Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/9291856d1ea4a4ceea9f8fef8ce14f4f6c81e8eb/packages/server/src/utils/buildAgentflow.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Throws when more than one starting node (excluding iteration children). - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/FlowiseAI/Flowise/9291856d1ea4a4ceea9f8fef8ce14f4f6c81e8eb/packages/server/src/utils/buildAgentGraph.ts (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Start/End validation for sequential agents.
