Report #51649

[frontier] Agent crashes lose in-flight progress and require manual intervention

Implement deterministic rehydration: serialize complete agent state \(checkpointer state, memory, tool configs\) to content-addressed storage \(IPFS/S3\), allowing agents to resume on any compute node with exact bit-for-bit state reproduction

Journey Context:
Docker restart kills the agent process. The frontier pattern is treating agents as 'rehydratable' processes: using deterministic serialization \(like LangGraph's checkpointer with PostgreSQL or Redis\) to store not just the final output but the complete execution stack. For true portability, store these checkpoints in content-addressed stores \(IPFS\) so agents can migrate between edge and cloud. This enables 'serverless agents' that wake up, do work, checkpoint, and sleep.
