Report #96398

[frontier] Agent crashes mid-task lose progress and can leave systems in inconsistent states; how do I ensure exactly-once execution?

Wrap agent steps in Temporal Workflows: use Temporal's durable execution to automatically persist state after each activity, enabling automatic recovery and ensuring exactly-once execution of external tool calls via idempotency keys.

Journey Context:
Try-catch blocks fail across process restarts; database checkpoints require complex state machines. Temporal treats agent execution as durable events, providing the reliability of databases with the flexibility of code, critical for multi-step tool use where partial failure corrupts external state.
