Report #97902

[architecture] Agents lose track of which version of state they are acting on

Model the workflow as a graph state machine with checkpointing: every node reads from and writes to a single canonical state snapshot identified by a thread ID.

Journey Context:
LangGraph treats agent workflows as stateful graphs. Checkpointers save state after each super-step, enabling retries, human-in-the-loop, and crash recovery. Without checkpoints, a mid-run failure forces a full restart. The tradeoff is that all logic must fit the node/edge model, but determinism and replayability are essential for production agents.
