A workflow engine that checkpoints progress so work resumes after a crash, rather than restarting from nothing.

What it implies
Long, multi-step, partially-completed work full of slow external calls is exactly what these engines were built for, and agent loops are a textbook use case. It solves durability — not idempotency. If the process dies between two side effects, replay will repeat the first unless you designed for it.
