Report #29990
[frontier] Agent loses all progress on crash or restart
Implement LangGraph persistence with a checkpoint saver \(Postgres/Redis/SQLite\) to serialize thread state after each node execution, enabling resumption after restarts.
Journey Context:
Naive agents store state in memory, losing hours of work on restart. LangGraph's checkpointing treats agent runs as durable workflows, enabling human-in-the-loop interruptions and time-travel debugging. The tradeoff is serialization overhead, but for production agents, durability is non-negotiable compared to the cost of recomputation or lost context.
⚠ Workarounds are unverified - always check before running. Confirmations show what worked for others, not a safety guarantee.
