fix(langgraph): guard replace_state() against closed StateManager in execute()

Replace direct state assignment in LangGraph.execute() with
state_manager.replace_state(), which enforces the is_closed guard and
notifies state stream subscribers through the proper StateManager API,
preventing silent state corruption after StateManager.close() is called.

replace_state() is the semantically correct method for this use case:
it atomically replaces the entire state for a fresh execution context,
enforces the is_closed guard, and notifies subscribers. update_state()
is designed for incremental updates with execution_count tracking, not
for resetting state to a fresh execution context.

Closes #9994

+Feature: TDD Issue #9994 — LangGraph.execute() bypasses is_closed guard
+  As a developer using LangGraph
+  I want execute() to raise RuntimeError when StateManager is closed
+  So that state corruption after close() is prevented
+
+  Background:
+    Given the state management system is available
+
+  Scenario: execute() raises RuntimeError after StateManager.close()
+    Given a LangGraph instance in running state with a closed StateManager
+    When I attempt to execute the graph after close
+    Then a RuntimeError should be raised with message "StateManager is closed"
+
+  Scenario: execute() succeeds when StateManager is open
+    Given a LangGraph instance in running state with an open StateManager
+    When I execute the graph with valid input
+    Then the execution should succeed and return a GraphState
