Report #64459

[frontier] When pausing agents for human approval, saving the full thread state and resuming later without losing tool call context is complex.

Use LangGraph's \`interrupt\` function which serializes the full graph state \(including pending tool calls and checkpoint ID\) to a checkpointer, allowing the process to terminate and resume days later from the exact instruction pointer via the \`Command\(resume=...\)\` API.

Journey Context:
Simple 'input\(\)' blocks break stateless deployment and lose pending actions. The pattern treats human approval as a \*\*node in the graph\*\* with a breakpoint, not an external side effect. This enables 'sleeping' agents that wait for human webhooks without holding memory or compute, crucial for long-running workflows requiring regulatory approval or expert review.
