Report #88511

[frontier] Agents lose all progress on crashes or redeploys and cannot resume long-running workflows or debug intermediate states

Implement event-sourced persistence using LangGraph checkpointers to save state after every node transition, enabling durable execution and time-travel debugging

Journey Context:
Traditional agents store state in memory \(Python dicts\) that vanishes on OOM or redeploy. For multi-hour research or approval workflows, this is unacceptable. LangGraph's persistence treats agent execution as an event stream \(similar to event sourcing/CQRS\), checkpointing state to durable storage \(Postgres, Redis\) after each node. This enables: \(1\) crash recovery with exactly-once semantics, \(2\) human-in-the-loop breakpoints where execution pauses for approval, \(3\) 'time-travel' debugging to replay from specific checkpoints. It replaces fragile in-memory state with database-backed durability suitable for production workloads.
