1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing? Tell me about your story.

Currently, the Agent Node (ReAct/Function Calling strategies) operates statelessly regarding its internal execution plan. Even for repetitive enterprise workflows (e.g., "Daily Security Audit" or "Standard Ticket Triage"), the LLM must re-reason and re-construct the execution graph from scratch on every run. This leads to:

High Latency: Users wait 10-20s for "Thinking" steps that were already solved in previous sessions.

Inference Waste: Significant token burn on redundant planning prompts.

Non-Deterministic Behavior: Slight variations in re-planning can lead to inconsistent tool-call sequences for identical intents.

Detailed Description
I propose adding a Plan Hydration Engine to the Agent Node infrastructure. Instead of a "cold start" for every task, the node should implement an Episodic Plan Cache.

Key Components:

Intent Fingerprinting: Generate a hash of the Task Description + Tool Definitions + Agent Instructions.

Hydration Layer: If a matching fingerprint exists in the cache with a high "Success Score," the Agent Node "hydrates" (loads) the previously successful execution plan directly, skipping the initial reasoning loops.

Volatile State Reset: Ensuring that while the plan is hydrated, the state (variables) is fresh to avoid context pollution (similar to my recent executor state fixes in the CrewAI ecosystem).
