Report #76517

[frontier] Long-running multi-agent workflows failing partially, leaving systems in inconsistent states without rollback capability

Implement saga orchestration where each step has defined compensating transactions \(undo operations\) that execute if subsequent steps fail, maintaining distributed consistency

Journey Context:
ACID transactions don't exist across distributed agents. The saga pattern breaks workflows into steps with explicit compensations \(e.g., if charge\_payment fails after reserve\_inventory, run release\_inventory\). This requires careful design of idempotent compensations but ensures eventual consistency across agent boundaries. Critical for financial or inventory workflows.
