Report #58083

[frontier] Debugging non-deterministic agent failures is impossible without execution traces

Implement agent event sourcing where all LLM calls and tool executions are stored as immutable events for deterministic replay

Journey Context:
Agent bugs often stem from specific LLM non-determinism or tool side-effects that are impossible to reproduce. By treating agent execution as an event-sourced system \(similar to event sourcing in DDD\), every external call \(LLM, API, tool\) is appended to an event log. This enables 'time-travel debugging' where developers can replay execution from any point with deterministic fixtures, and supports 'exactly-once' execution semantics for unreliable tools by replaying from last known good state.
