Report #65948

[frontier] Long-running agent workflows crashing after hours of execution, losing all progress and requiring full restart

Implement event-sourced checkpointing where every agent action \(tool call, LLM generation, state change\) is persisted as an immutable event, enabling exact resume from crash point without re-execution of prior steps

Journey Context:
Early agents were stateless. Production requires durability. The pattern: treat agent runs like workflow engines \(Temporal/Cadence\). Use event sourcing \(not just snapshots\) to resume exactly. Critical for expensive LLM calls \(don't re-pay for completed steps\) and debugging.
