Report #47245

[architecture] Retrying failed agent chains creates duplicate side effects such as duplicate records or multiple charges

Enforce idempotency keys across agent boundaries; deduplicate based on deterministic execution IDs

Journey Context:
Network timeouts trigger retries; without idempotency guarantees, partial execution leaks state and causes data corruption in distributed agent systems
