Report #74103

[frontier] Agent workflows crashing mid-task due to API timeouts or process restarts, losing all progress

Use durable execution: orchestrate agent steps with Temporal or Restate to persist execution state and automatically resume from the last known good state after crashes

Journey Context:
Standard async/await loses in-flight state on crashes. Durable execution treats agent steps as durable promises with automatic checkpointing, surviving process restarts, enabling sleep/wake cycles for long-running research agents, and preventing duplicate tool calls on retry.
