Report #79271

[frontier] How to debug agent execution failures or insert human approval without losing entire workflow state?

Implement LangGraph checkpointing with interrupt points to persist state after each node, enabling time-travel debugging, human-in-the-loop, and crash recovery without replaying from start.

Journey Context:
Naive implementations lose all state on crash or cannot pause for human input mid-workflow. Checkpoints treat agents as durable state machines. Tradeoff: storage costs for state snapshots and slight latency overhead from persistence. Essential for production reliability and debugging complex multi-step flows where re-execution is expensive or non-deterministic.
