[frontier] Agent loses long-horizon context across multi-step workflows causing state corruption

Implement LangGraph's AsyncCheckpointSaver with hierarchical state diffing; persist state transitions at subgraph boundaries using PostgreSQL or Redis backends, enabling recovery to any intermediate step without full replay.

Journey Context:
Naive approaches either save full state snapshots \(O\(n\) memory explosion\) or lose history entirely on failure. Hierarchical checkpointing uses structural sharing and async persistence to maintain causal lineage without blocking execution. Teams often try manual state management or simple pickling, which breaks when subgraphs recurse. This pattern treats state as a Merkle tree of diffs, enabling time-travel debugging and fault isolation at the sub-agent level.
