Report #95589

[frontier] Agent workflows crash mid-task on LLM API errors and require full restart from beginning, wasting tokens and time

Implement Temporal.io durable execution: wrap each agent step as a Temporal Activity with idempotency keys, enabling automatic replay from exact failure point without re-executing successful LLM calls

Journey Context:
Standard retry logic re-runs entire agent chains. Temporal persists execution event history \(event sourcing\) and replays only failed steps, deterministically reconstructing state. This converts fragile agent scripts into durable workflows that survive days-long processes, API outages, and spot instance preemptions without wasting tokens on recomputation.
