Shrinath RaoandClaude Opus 4.8 0e477f9918 test(workflows): de-flake K9 canary — log Save-intercept, don't hard-assert it (#13418) ...

## How this was found

The **Playwright E2E Crosscheck** bot (the ENT gate that runs
enterprise-only specs against OSS PRs) flagged a failing spec on an
unrelated logs PR ([#13414
comment](https://github.com/openobserve/openobserve/pull/13414#issuecomment-5058151842)):

> `Workflows/workflows-negative.spec.js` — *"enterprise-only e2e spec
failed against this PR … wouldn't show up in OSS CI."*

Digging showed it wasn't caused by that PR — the same test was **also
failing on #13413 and #13315**. It's a pre-existing **flake** in the ENT
gate, so this PR fixes it at the source.

## Evidence it's a flake, not a real break

The **same branch** produced both outcomes:

| ENT crosscheck run | PR | K9 test |
|---|---|---|
| 30005431754 | #13414 | ✅ passed (~50s, slow path) |
| 30008606974 | #13414 | ❌ failed |
| 30006996158 | #13315 | ❌ failed |
| 30006419247 | #13413 | ❌ failed |

## Root cause

`CT-19 K9` hard-asserted that a normal `.click()` on Save is intercepted
by a tooltip overlay:
```js
expect(await pm.workflowsPage.normalSaveClickIsIntercepted(4000)).toBe(true);
```
But the Save button has **no tooltip of its own** (`WorkflowEditor.vue`)
— the overlay that intercepts it is a **transient/adjacent tooltip**
that often never appears on a programmatic hover in headless CI. The
probe therefore conflates *"blocked by overlay"* with *"click landed"*,
and the assertion flips run to run. (A first attempt — waiting for the
overlay before probing — didn't help: the overlay simply isn't reliably
summoned.)

## Fix (test-only, no product/Vue changes)

- Treat interception as an **informational canary** —
`testLogger.info(...)` instead of a hard assert.
- Keep the **stable** assertion: the JS-click Save workaround still
reaches the app (`msg.length > 0`) — the adjacent trigger-only-save test
already exercises that same path and passes consistently.
- If K9 is ever genuinely fixed, the canary log shows
`intercepted:false` consistently — the signal to drop the JS-click
workaround.

This removes the flaky gate without losing meaningful coverage. Changes
are limited to the spec and its page object.

## Verification

`Workflows/*` are enterprise-only (skipped on OSS CI), so verified via
the **ENT gate against this OSS branch** (`e2e` label). The removed
assertion was the only flaky part; the retained assertion matches an
already-stable adjacent test.
