Report #29577

[frontier] One-shot planning producing brittle plans that fail on first unexpected API error or schema change

Implement Plan-and-Execute with explicit replanning triggers: create a plan node that outputs a DAG of subtasks, an executor that marks tasks complete/failed, and a conditional edge that returns to planning only when failure rate > threshold or dependency graph becomes invalid

Journey Context:
Naive 'plan-then-execute' generates a plan upfront and executes blindly. If step 3 of 10 fails, the agent halts or hallucinates. The 2025 pattern \(LangGraph 'Plan-and-Execute' with interrupts\) treats planning as a recurring step triggered by failure signals. You execute until hit a roadblock, then replan from current state \(not original\). This mimics human project management. Requires maintaining plan state separately from execution state. More compute but handles API flakiness and changing schemas gracefully.
