[frontier] Sensitive tool executions lacking approval gates

Implement interrupt flows: inject human-in-the-loop checkpoints before destructive operations with state serialization during wait

Journey Context:
Agents with access to production systems \(databases, deployments\) can cause damage if they execute based on hallucinated intent. Hardcoding approval lists is brittle. LangGraphs interrupt pattern pauses graph execution at specific nodes, serializes the full state \(including pending tool calls\) to persistent storage, and waits for human review via an API or UI. The human can approve, edit the arguments, or reject. Upon resume, the graph continues with the \(possibly modified\) state. This is distinct from simple logging because it blocks execution and maintains exactly-once semantics. Use this for destructive operations \(DELETE, UPDATE, deploy\) in production agents.
