[architecture] How to maintain agent state and memory across different sessions or process restarts

Serialize the agent's working memory and scratchpad to an external persistent store \(e.g., SQLite, Redis, or JSON file\) at the end of every tool call or reasoning step. On initialization, hydrate the context window from this store.

Journey Context:
Agents often just hold state in Python variables. If the container restarts or the session times out, all progress is lost. Checkpointing after every step allows resuming exactly where it left off, which is crucial for long-running tasks or recovering from crashes without starting the entire workflow over.
