Agent Memory & State
What agent state survives a workflow crash or restart?
Only state persisted as part of durable execution checkpoints will survive a workflow crash or restart. Catalyst leverages Dapr-backed durable execution to save critical execution state at defined checkpoints, including task progress and context needed to resume runs. Transient in-memory data like temporary chat buffers will be lost entirely. Caveat: More frequent checkpoints add minor operational overhead to workflow runs.
