Session Handoff overview
Hand off work between agents (agent-to-agent) or from agent to human. The primitive serializes the current session context — conversation history, workspace state, partial results — and transfers it to the receiving party. Used for escalation, specialization routing, and shift-change patterns in long-running workflows.
