## `fabro settings`

A new `fabro settings` command displays the fully resolved configuration for a workflow, showing how CLI flags, environment variables, project config, and workflow defaults are layered together. This makes it easy to debug configuration issues without guessing which layer is winning.

```bash
fabro settings my-workflow
```

## `fabro preflight`

Preflight validation has been extracted from `fabro run --preflight` into its own top-level command. This makes it easier to validate a workflow before running it, especially in CI pipelines where you want a separate validation step.

```bash
fabro preflight my-workflow
```

<Warning>
**`--run-dir` renamed to `--storage-dir`.** The `--run-dir` CLI flag has been renamed to `--storage-dir` to better reflect its purpose as the base storage directory. Runs are now created under `<storage-dir>/runs/` automatically. The `data_dir` config key is also renamed to `storage_dir` (a serde alias preserves backward compatibility for config files).
