Report #76720

[frontier] Non-deterministic LLM outputs make debugging agent failures impossible to reproduce in development

Implement deterministic replay by caching LLM responses with seed/temperature settings and recording tool call sequences, allowing step-through debugging of production failures

Journey Context:
Standard logging misses intermediate states. Random sampling prevents reproduction. Deterministic replay enables exact reproduction of agent execution paths, including LLM outputs and tool results, making debugging of complex multi-step agents feasible.
