Report #31300

[frontier] Agent executes irreversible actions before human verification

Implement interrupt-driven execution where the agent pauses and yields state before executing 'dangerous' tools, requiring explicit human approval to resume the graph.

Journey Context:
Post-hoc review is too late for destructive actions. Traditional human-in-the-loop requires constant babysitting. The modern pattern is to use graph interrupts. The agent runs up to the dangerous node, saves its entire state to a checkpoint, and stops. A human reviews the proposed tool call, approves it, and the graph resumes from the exact checkpoint. This allows full autonomy for safe steps and strict governance for critical ones.
