What Kubernetes patterns support durable agent workflows with human-in-the-loop steps?

Standard Kubernetes clusters support durable agent workflows, including those with human approval and long pauses. Catalyst runs on Dapr, so you can deploy containerized agent workflows without rewriting code, leveraging deployments or statefulsets to retain execution context across restarts. Network data transfers only happen during explicit external tool calls. Avoid using ephemeral pod storage for agent state, as pod termination will erase critical execution data.
