[frontier] Long-running agent workflows crash and lose hours of progress due to transient failures

Use durable execution frameworks \(Temporal\) to checkpoint agent state: persist the agent's scratchpad and tool results after each step, handle retries with exponential backoff at the workflow level, and resume from last known good state after process crashes without re-executing expensive LLM calls.

Journey Context:
Agent loops are long-running and failure-prone. Standard retry logic loses context or repeats expensive operations. Durable execution treats agent steps as atomic transactions with compensation logic. This converts fragile scripts into reliable workflows that survive network partitions, API rate limits, and container restarts.
