Report #53677

[frontier] How do I debug non-deterministic agent failures that only occur in production with specific state sequences?

Persist agent state using LangGraph's checkpointing with thread IDs, then replay execution from arbitrary prior states \(time-travel\) to isolate failure points without re-running expensive prior steps.

Journey Context:
Traditional logging loses intermediate state. Naive replay requires re-executing from start. Checkpointing enables fork-and-debug: capture the state at step N, modify inputs or code, and resume. This is critical for agents with external tool side effects that cannot be easily reverted.
