Report #28968

[frontier] Agent workflows lose progress on server crashes or timeouts during long tool executions

Use durable execution framework \(Temporal, Inngest\) that checkpoints state after each step and resumes from last completed step

Journey Context:
Agents are long-running workflows \(minutes to hours\). Traditional HTTP request/response models fail when the server restarts mid-task. Durable execution \(Temporal, Inngest\) treats agent steps as durable functions that automatically checkpoint state after each step. If the process crashes, a new worker resumes from the last checkpoint, not from the beginning. This provides exactly-once execution semantics for tool calls.
