[frontier] Cyclic agent workflows losing state when revisiting previous nodes in Swarm-like systems

Adopt LangGraph cyclic workflows with explicit persistence/checkpointing to enable Swarm-style agents that can revisit previous nodes while maintaining state consistency across cycles

Journey Context:
Swarm's handoff model is DAG-oriented; cycles require external state stores. LangGraph's checkpointing allows cycles by persisting state at each node, enabling iterative refinement patterns \(e.g., draft-review-revise loops\) that pure Swarm cannot express without losing intermediate context.
