fix(validate): resolve infinite loop in state exploration and re-enable tests

- Added visited state tracking (using sets of hashes) to  to handle cyclic workflows.
- Updated test helper  with the same visited state tracking.
- Re-enabled 7 previously skipped validation tests in .
- Updated  to correctly assert on improper completion (multiple tokens) instead of deadlock.
- Adjusted  to handle legacy bytecode format where task functions are mocked.

All 338 unit tests now pass with 0 failures.
