This PR extracts the pre-flight checklist embedded in workshop/08-run-your-workflow.md into its own optional side quest.

Source file mined: workshop/08-run-your-workflow.md (182 lines) — the "Pre-flight check" section contained a two-part diagnostic (lock file freshness + billing configuration match) that is a self-contained troubleshooting detour, not required to trigger the workflow for learners whose setup is already correct.

Side quest extracted: workshop/side-quest-08-02-preflight-check.md — "Pre-Flight Workflow Checks," a two-minute checklist for confirming the compiled lock file is present/current and that the permissions: block matches the chosen billing path, with the same recovery commands that were previously inline.

Routing updates for learners:

• 08-run-your-workflow.md now shows a short summary of why pre-flight checks matter, an Optional Side Quest callout linking to the new file, and a note that learners who already know both checks pass can continue straight to running the workflow — preserving the main path.
• The new side quest file ends with a return link back to Run and Watch Your Workflow.
• workshop/README.md lists the new side quest in the optional side quests section, noting it branches from Step 8.

No workflow YAML frontmatter snippets were introduced in this content, so gh aw compile --validate is not applicable here.
