[frontier] Resuming long-running agent tasks after crashes requiring re-execution of expensive tool calls

Implement Pregel-style deterministic checkpointing where every node execution persists the full state \(messages, tool outputs\) to durable storage \(Redis/Postgres\), allowing the graph to resume from the exact last successful node on restart.

Journey Context:
Agents running for minutes crash and restart from scratch, redoing expensive API calls or DB queries. The fix is treating the agent graph as a durable execution workflow \(like Temporal.io but for LLMs\). LangGraph's checkpointer interface writes state to a database after every node. On restart, the system loads the last checkpoint and continues from the next node, not the beginning. This enables 'human-in-the-loop' breakpoints and crash recovery without idempotency headaches.
