Report #29386

[frontier] Agent loses state on crash or cannot resume interrupted human-in-the-loop workflows

Configure LangGraph checkpointer to persist state graph after every node; use thread\_id to resume conversations and support time-travel debugging

Journey Context:
Stateless agents lose history on restart. LangGraph Checkpointer \(2024-2025\) serializes State after each node to SQLite/Redis/Postgres. This enables: 1\) Crash recovery \(resume from last successful node\), 2\) Human-in-the-loop \(interrupt, wait for user input, resume\), 3\) Time-travel \(replay from arbitrary step\). Alternative: manual state saving—fragile. Tradeoff: state must be JSON-serializable; avoid large binary blobs in state.
