Report #29751

[frontier] Agent crashes in long-horizon tasks require full restart losing expensive reasoning steps

Enable LangGraph checkpointer with Redis backend and deterministic node IDs to resume from last successful step

Journey Context:
Stateless design assumes idempotency which fails for LLM calls with stochastic outputs. Checkpointing every super-step \(graph node\) enables deterministic replay from the last persisted state. Redis provides distributed storage for horizontal scaling, while deterministic node IDs ensure consistent routing after recovery. This pattern prevents losing hours of multi-step reasoning in production workflows.
