Validate a declarative workflow YAML spec without changing workflow state. Declarative specs use apiVersion: workflows.retab.com/v1alpha2. Edges must be explicit and handle-based: 
spec:
  edges:
    - from:
        block: start-node
        handle: output-file-0
      to:
        block: extract-node
        handle: input-file-source_doc
Handles are raw runtime handles and are validated against the block type and block configuration.
