[frontier] Long-running stateful agents crashing and losing entire execution state

Architect agents as stateless functions orchestrated by a Durable Execution engine \(like Temporal\), persisting state at every step so the agent can resume from the exact point of failure.

Journey Context:
Developers often treat agents as long-running stateful processes. If the process crashes or the LLM API times out, the entire multi-step workflow and its accumulated state are lost. The emerging pattern is Durable Agents: the agent logic is just a stateless function, and an orchestration engine handles the state, retries, and timeouts. If a step fails, the engine retries just that step, making agents resilient to infrastructure flakiness.
