## Title

    [Flowise chatflow] "Ending node must be either a Chain or Agent or Engine" / "Ending nodes not found" when running a chatflow

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): Chatflow execution requires an ending node whose category is Chains, Agents, Engine (or Multi/Sequential Agents).
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Other error fragments:
    - Ending nodes not found
