Report #83666

[frontier] Long-running agent workflows failing mid-flight with no recovery mechanism

Checkpoint agent state after each tool call using durable execution engines \(Temporal\), enabling automatic resume from last successful step without recomputation.

Journey Context:
Agents fail on step 10 of 20 due to API timeouts or crashes. Naive loops restart from scratch. The durable execution pattern treats agent reasoning as workflows: each tool invocation is a recorded event. If the process crashes, a new worker resumes from the last checkpoint. This enables 'agent sagas' with compensating transactions for rollback.
