[frontier] Agent crashes and loses state on long-running tasks

Implement checkpointed state persistence with thread-scoped memory using LangGraph's PostgresSaver or Redis checkpointer

Journey Context:
Naive agents store state in-memory, losing progress on crashes or restarts. Production agents need durable state machines. LangGraph's checkpointer pattern serializes agent state \(messages, scratchpad\) at each node, enabling crash recovery, human-in-the-loop interruptions, and horizontal scaling. Alternatives like simple JSON files fail on concurrent access. This pattern separates compute from state, allowing spot instance termination without data loss.
