📄 Description

Description

The docs described StateBackend as "ephemeral," which conflicted with the rest of the section explaining that files persist across turns on the same thread via the checkpointer. Reframed as "thread-scoped" and clarified that durability beyond a thread depends on the checkpointer (in-memory vs. durable). Also noted that the backend is intended for use within a graph run.

Updated wording in backends.mdx, customization.mdx, going-to-production.mdx, and the cross-reference in concepts/products.mdx. Renamed the section heading from "StateBackend (ephemeral)" to "StateBackend" and updated the in-page anchor links accordingly.

Release Note

none

Test Plan

  • Verify the rendered backends page shows the new "StateBackend" heading and updated quickstart table copy.
  • Verify in-page link #statebackend from the quickstart table and from concepts/products.mdx resolves.
