Report #66430

[frontier] Agents make irreversible mistakes \(delete data, send emails\) because human approval is only checked at the end

Implement LangGraph's interrupt\(\) or similar to pause execution at specific nodes, serialize the agent state to a review queue, and resume only after human approval via a separate UI process

Journey Context:
Simple 'human in the loop' often means reviewing the final output, but by then the agent may have already called destructive tools. The fix is breakpoint interrupts: use LangGraph's interrupt\(\) to freeze the state graph at pre-tool nodes, persist the pending tool call to a review DB, and expose it to a human dashboard. Only upon explicit approval does the graph resume execution. This requires treating the agent as a state machine with persistence, not a simple request-response loop.
