feat(Designer): Direct standalone initialization

[rllyy97]

Commit Type

• feature - New functionality

Risk Level

• Low - Minor changes, limited scope
• Medium - Moderate changes, some user impact
• High - Major changes, significant user/system impact

What & Why

Can now load standalone designer from url search params.

• plan - Standard / Consumption
• id - Remote workflow id
• runId - Remote workflow run id
• localId - Local workflow id
• localRunId - Local workflow run id

The intention of this is to speed up workflow initialization during our automated testing to avoid waiting on all LA / workflow resources to load before the proper workflow can be selected.

Impact of Change

• Users: N/A
• Developers: Faster PR integration due to decreased E2E test durations
• System: Decreased E2E test suite durations

Test Plan

• Unit tests added/updated
• E2E tests added/updated
• Manual testing completed
• Tested in:

Pull Request Overview

This PR refactors E2E test workflow loading to use direct URL parameters instead of UI interactions, and implements corresponding URL parameter handling in the standalone application. The changes enable faster test execution by bypassing the workflow selection UI.

• Replaced GoToMockWorkflow with LoadMockDirect function that loads workflows via URL parameters
• Added URL parameter parsing logic to automatically configure workflow/run settings on page load
• Removed redundant page.goto('/') calls from real API tests since goToWorkflow() handles navigation
