Pregel Superstep Barrier

  • • Iterates state machine through synchronized parallel node turns
  • • Enforces deterministic channel reducer aggregation at superstep boundaries

Incremental Delta Persistence

  • • Records differential channel writes to eliminate state serialization bottlenecks
  • • Flushes consolidated checkpoints to Postgres for fault-tolerant recovery

Human-in-the-Loop Interruption

  • • Freezes thread execution before sensitive tool nodes execute
  • • Supports dynamic state inspection and branch editing before resume
