**Magentic checkpointing tip**: Treat `MagenticBuilder.participants` keys as stable identifiers. When resuming from a checkpoint, the rebuilt workflow must reuse the same participant names; otherwise the checkpoint cannot be applied and the run will fail fast.
**Handoff workflow tip**: Handoff workflows maintain the full conversation history including any
`ChatMessage.additional_properties` emitted by your agents. This ensures routing metadata remains
intact across all agent transitions. For specialist-to-specialist handoffs, use `.add_handoff(source, targets)`
to configure which agents can route to which others with a fluent, type-safe API.
