[frontier] Context window overflow causes mid-task goal drift in long-horizon agents

Implement hierarchical checkpointing with immutable goal vectors at decision boundaries using LangGraph's persistence layer

Journey Context:
Simple truncation or rolling summarization loses critical constraints and sub-goals mid-task, causing agents to 'forget' why they started a branch. The fix is to treat context as a stack: at each decision boundary, push an immutable checkpoint containing the current goal vector, constraints, and partial results. When context is trimmed, the agent retains the stack of goals to prevent drift.
