fix(platform): ensure cache invalidation before automation list refresh

[yannickmonney]

Summary

• Fixes Failed to create blank automation, data is not added. #1112
• Fixes a race condition where window.dispatchEvent('workflow-updated') fired before TanStack Query cache invalidation completed, causing the automations table to refetch stale data
• Exports useInvalidateWorkflows and explicitly awaits cache invalidation in both the blank automation creation dialog and the template installation grid before dispatching the refresh event

Test plan

• Lint and typecheck pass
• Create a blank automation and verify it appears in the list immediately
• Install a template automation and verify it appears in the list

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Workflows now properly refresh after creation and template installation, ensuring users see up-to-date workflow data immediately without manual refresh.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR exports the useInvalidateWorkflows hook from the file-mutations module and integrates it into two automation creation workflows. In both automation-create-dialog.tsx and workflow-template-grid.tsx, after successfully creating or installing a workflow, the code now invalidates the React Query cache for the workflows query before dispatching events and navigating. This ensures that the client-side cache is refreshed to reflect newly created workflows.
