feat(flows): make validation issues clickable to jump to node

The validation panel sits at the bottom of the editor. When it surfaced
an error ("node X is missing next_node_key") the user had to scroll up,
find that node, expand it, find the broken field. Long feedback loop.

Each node-scoped IssueLine becomes a button: click it and the editor
expands the offending node, scrolls it into view, and briefly rings
its border so the eye lands on the right card. Trigger-scoped issues
stay non-interactive (the trigger panel is already at the top of the
page).
