## Problem
Flaky e2e test: `update workspace, new required, mutable parameter
added`
```
Error: Timed out 15000ms waiting for expect(locator).toHaveValue(expected)
Locator: getByTestId('parameter-field-Sixth parameter').locator('input')
Expected string: "99"
Received string: ""
```
## Root Cause
When the workspace parameters page loads, the WebSocket sends an initial
response with template defaults. For parameters with no default (like
`sixth_parameter`), the server returns `{valid: false, value: ""}`. On
first render, `useSyncFormParameters` sees this invalid server value and
overwrites the form's correctly-autofilled value ("99" from the previous
build) with "".
## Fix
When the server value is `{valid: false}`, preserve the current form
value instead of overwriting with "". This prevents the sync hook from
clobbering autofilled values before the server has had a chance to
process them.
## Verification
- TypeScript: zero type errors
- Biome lint: clean
- Unit tests: 2/2 passing
- **E2E soak test: 849/854 passed across 854 runs (99.5% pass rate)**
- 0 occurrences of the original flake (empty value on settings page)
- 5 residual failures are a separate pre-existing race in
`fillParameters` where user input is overwritten during the 500ms
