Report #79306

[frontier] My agent crashes after 45 minutes of work and loses all progress on the complex task.

Model the agent's ReAct loop as a Temporal Workflow with durable execution, where each 'Thought' and 'Action' is a persisted Activity, enabling automatic recovery and replay from the exact point of failure.

Journey Context:
Traditional agent frameworks store state in memory \(Redis or local variables\), making them fragile to pod restarts or OOM kills. The emerging pattern \(pioneered by Temporal.io integrations in 2025\) treats the agent lifecycle as 'durable execution': the workflow code is deterministic, and all side effects \(LLM calls, tool executions\) are recorded in an event-sourced history. If the worker crashes, a new worker resumes with the exact same state, including the cursor position in the conversation. This enables 'sleeping' agents \(suspended to disk for days\), multi-day tasks, and 'exactly once' tool execution guarantees. This replaces the 'Docker restart = lost session' anti-pattern.
