fix: synchronize workflow iteration settings across edges, mode settings, and scaffold

For builder-based orchestration modes (group-chat, handoff), the loop edge
maxIterations, workflow settings.maxIterations, and mode-specific settings
(e.g. groupChat.maxRounds) were independently editable but only the mode
settings controlled runtime behavior. This caused confusion when changing
one did not update the others.

Changes:
- Add syncBuilderModeEdgeIterations() to keep loop edge maxIterations in
  sync with the authoritative mode settings for builder-based modes
- Wire sync into normalizeWorkflowDefinition so edges are consistent on
  load/normalization
- Update scaffoldGraphForMode to accept optional settings instead of
  hardcoded iteration values (4 for handoff, 5 for group-chat)
- Sync settings.maxIterations <-> groupChat.maxRounds bidirectionally
  when either changes in the UI
- Make loop edge controls read-only in the graph inspector for
  builder-based modes with explanatory text
- Add 8 consistency tests validating built-in workflows, scaffold
  behavior, and normalization sync
