Report #75785

[frontier] Agent retries generate divergent plans causing state corruption on recovery

Adopt Temporal.io-style deterministic execution: record all non-deterministic calls \(LLM completions, tool results\) to a durable log. On retry, replay the log rather than re-executing. Use workflow IDs to ensure exactly-once semantics across distributed agents.

Journey Context:
Standard retry logic assumes idempotency, but LLM calls are stochastic. Re-executing a tool call after a failure may yield different results, causing the agent to pursue inconsistent strategies. Event sourcing treats agent execution as a deterministic state machine where external inputs are recorded immutably, ensuring that replays are bit-for-bit identical and recoverable.
