Report #46544

[architecture] Agent state and working memory lost on process restart or session end

Serialize the agent's entire state graph \(including current execution node, variable state, and working memory\) to an external persistent store at every major state transition, enabling exact resumption.

Journey Context:
Agents often fail mid-task due to API errors, context limits, or user abandonment. If state is only held in-memory, a restart requires starting over. By checkpointing the state machine after every step, the agent can resume exactly where it left off, maintaining the working memory and execution flow without repeating actions or losing intermediate results.
