Report #47751

[frontier] Agent crashes lose intermediate progress in long-running workflows

Implement durable execution using event sourcing \(Temporal.io\), persisting every input/output and agent decision to allow deterministic replay and recovery

Journey Context:
Standard stateless agents lose all progress on crashes or timeouts. Durable execution treats agent workflows as event-sourced state machines: every stimulus \(user input, tool result\) is durably logged before processing. If the process crashes, the workflow replays from the last checkpoint \(deterministically for side effects via idempotency keys\). This enables 'time travel' debugging \(replaying exact execution\) and long-running agents that survive days or weeks, handling sleep/wake cycles gracefully.
