Report #95286

[architecture] Agent chain executes an irreversible action without human approval

Implement a break-before-make checkpoint in the orchestrator where the agent yields execution, persists state, and waits for an explicit human approval token before invoking destructive tools.

Journey Context:
Fully autonomous chains are fast but dangerous. HITL slows down the pipeline but prevents catastrophic real-world damage. The orchestrator must suspend the state and resume upon approval, rather than just blocking a thread, to handle long-running human response times without consuming context windows.
