## Title

    [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"

## Body

    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):
