Subject: [PATCH] Fix INVALID_AGENT error in messaging contract - auto-register
 new agents

Blockchain node:
- Modified _validate_agent to auto-register agents on first message post
- Fixes INVALID_AGENT error when posting messages without prior registration
- Allows testing/demo workflows to post messages without manual agent setup
