Report #5319

[architecture] Agent loses its plan, tool states, and working memory when a session ends or times out

Implement checkpointing by serializing the agent's execution state \(call stack, current plan, scratchpad\) into a persistent JSON/document store at every major state transition, and reconstruct the agent object from this state on re-init.

Journey Context:
LLMs are stateless; session termination wipes everything. Just saving the chat history isn't enough because the agent's intent and in-progress tool executions are lost. Replaying the whole history to recover state is expensive and error-prone. Checkpointing the actual structured state \(like an OS hibernation file\) allows exact resumption without token waste.
