Enhance workflow validation with source file and port checks

- Add optional --source flag to validate command for file existence checking
- Implement cycle detection to identify control loops in workflows
- Add ZMQ port conflict detection and validation
- Warn about reserved ports (< 1024) and invalid port ranges
- Expand test coverage with 6 new comprehensive test cases
- Update CLI documentation with new validation features

This improves the user experience by catching common configuration
errors before workflow execution, reducing runtime failures.

 Validates a GraphML workflow file before running.
 
+**Options:**
+- `-s, --source <dir>` - Source directory to verify file references exist
+
 Checks:
 - Valid XML structure
 - GraphML format compliance
 - Node and edge definitions
 - File references and naming conventions
-- ZMQ vs file-based communication
+- Source file existence (when --source provided)
+- ZMQ port conflicts and reserved ports
+- Circular dependencies (warns for control loops)
+- Edge connectivity
 
 **Example:**
 ```bash
 concore validate workflow.graphml
+concore validate workflow.graphml --source ./src
 ```
