Report #22561

[frontier] DAG-based agent workflows fail on long-running, human-in-the-loop, or failure-recovery scenarios

Use event-sourced orchestration: persist agent reasoning steps as immutable events, enabling replay, partial rollback, and human intervention at any point

Journey Context:
LangChain-style DAGs execute once and fail permanently on errors. Temporal.io and similar frameworks show that agents need durability, not just fire-and-forget. Event sourcing allows workflows to survive days, handle approval gates, and debug by replaying exact execution history from stored events.
