Report #52943

[frontier] Agent infinite loops or unsafe actions executing without human oversight in production

Implement LangGraph Interrupt nodes that persist checkpoint state to durable storage and pause execution pending human review, rather than blocking with input\(\) calls that lose state on crashes

Journey Context:
Simple 'ask user' implementations block the event loop and lose state on process restart. LangGraph's interrupt\(\) serializes the full checkpoint \(including pending tool calls\) to persistent storage \(Postgres/Redis\), allowing the process to exit and resume days later. This replaces fragile while loops with explicit graph breakpoints that survive crashes. The tradeoff requires checkpoint persistence infrastructure. This is distinct from callback-based HITL which lacks durability.
