Report #68338

[frontier] Long-running AI agents crashing and losing hours of progress mid-workflow

Implement LangGraph Persistence with Redis or Postgres checkpointer to enable exactly-once resume semantics

Journey Context:
Agents without persistence fail catastrophically on infrastructure crashes. Naive 'save state to file' approaches lack atomicity and can corrupt on write failures. LangGraph's checkpointer provides durable execution with configurable storage \(Postgres for strict ACID consistency, Redis for speed\). This enables human-in-the-loop interruption, time-travel debugging, and days-long workflows. Tradeoff: adds ~50-100ms latency per step for database round-trip vs reliability.
