Report #44342

[frontier] Agent crashes or interruptions mid-task lose all progress, requiring users to restart from scratch

Implement transactional checkpointing: persist full state \(messages, tool outputs, config\) after each node execution; resume from last checkpoint with exactly-matching model and seed

Journey Context:
Traditional APIs are stateless, but agents are long-running with side effects. LangGraph's checkpointing treats execution as a database transaction: every step commits to persistent storage \(Postgres/Redis\). On crash, the agent resumes from the exact state—including the LLM's internal random state if using fixed seeds. This enables human-in-the-loop approvals, time-travel debugging, and crash recovery without losing expensive tool executions or user context.
