[frontier] Agent crashes mid-task lose all progress on long-running workflows

Implement event-sourced checkpointing with LangGraph's persistence layer, treating agent state as a CRDT that can be paused, rewound, and resumed across server restarts

Journey Context:
Early agents hold state in-memory; a container restart wipes progress. The fix is not simple pickle-saving but graph-aware checkpointing. LangGraph's persistence serializes the state of each node \(including pending tool calls\) to a database \(Postgres/SQLite\) after each superstep. This enables 'time-travel' debugging where you can fork from a previous checkpoint. Alternatives like Celery task chains lose the graph structure; simple state machines lack the LLM-specific branching logic.
