Report #100465

[frontier] Agent loses progress and identity when a long-running workflow crashes, pauses for human approval, or spans multiple days

Build on a runtime that checkpoints full agent state—context, tool outputs, pending decisions—to durable storage at every turn boundary. Resume from the last checkpoint, not from scratch. Keep session-private state separate from shared organizational context.

Journey Context:
Stateful agents cannot rely on the model API to remember anything across calls. Production runtimes now treat state as a platform primitive: a private workspace persists across sandbox replacements, shared context is mounted read-only, and code deployments happen turn-by-turn without restarting sessions. The anti-pattern is storing identity only in the prompt and assuming a crash only loses the last message; you lose the running frame of reference.
