Description

Today, if an executor fails in a superstep while others succeed, we can only resume from the most recent superstep and rerun all executors.

It'd be great if we can create a checkpoint even if a superstep succeeds partially. That way, users can resume from that checkpoint and only rerun the executors that failed, saving costs and token consumption.
