Dry-run a workflow

POST /automation/{id}/dry-run

Runs as the CALLER, not the owner. Write-tier steps record their arguments without dispatching. `sample_id` replays a captured webhook delivery as the trigger payload (its payload replaces `input`); a sample that was too large to keep whole carries `truncated: true` and `truncated_parts` inside that payload.
