If you actually meant to access the outer "sqf_runs" RTE from the
sub-query, you need to mark it LATERAL:
select sr.sqf_id, sr.status, fse.perl_sub_name, fse.end_datetime
from
sqf_runs sr,
lateral (select perl_sub_name, end_datetime from flow_step_events_view where
sqf_id = sr.sqf_id order by 2 limit 1) fse
where sr.userid='foo';
