Phase 7a: stable workflow id for the n8n import (AUD-115)
n8n 2.18.5 rejects an import whose workflow JSON has no `id` (SQLITE_CONSTRAINT: NOT NULL constraint failed: workflow_entity.id). Give the workflow a fixed id and record that the import -> publish -> active flow was rehearsed in a throwaway n8n container before asking for approval.

The JSON carries a stable `id` (`schoolMorningBrf`). n8n 2.18.5 refuses an import

whose workflow has no `id` (`SQLITE_CONSTRAINT: NOT NULL constraint failed:

plan was proposed; no shared instance was touched.
