Design how this agent resumes an interrupted run. Agent: [DESCRIBE] Interruption causes: [PROCESS DEATH / USER PAUSE / TIMEOUT / APPROVAL WAIT / RATE LIMIT] Run length: [DESCRIBE] Produce: 1. Checkpoint points: where state should be durably saved 2. What a checkpoint contains 3. What cannot be checkpointed and must be redone 4. Resumption: how the agent reconstructs context 5. What must be re-verified on resume — the world may have changed 6. Idempotency: how to avoid repeating a side-effecting action that already succeeded before the interruption 7. How the agent knows it was resumed rather than started fresh 8. How long a paused run stays resumable 9. What to tell the user on resumption The idempotency question is the hard one. Address it specifically: for each side-effecting tool, how does the agent know whether the action completed before the interruption?
