Report #100214

[architecture] How do I keep agent state correct across multi-step, resumable, or human-in-the-loop workflows?

Model state as a typed, reducer-driven graph state. Use checkpoints for thread-scoped, resumable execution and a separate store for long-term, cross-thread memory. Keep tool outputs and intermediate decisions in state so failures can resume exactly from the last checkpoint.

Journey Context:
Stuffing context into message history or global variables breaks resume, human-in-the-loop, and observability. LangGraph distinguishes checkpointers, which persist graph-state snapshots per thread for fault tolerance and time travel, from stores, which hold durable key-value data across threads. Typed schemas and reducers prevent silent state corruption.
