+
+### 🚀 Performance Optimization
+
+```python
+# Automatic compilation for 40-60% speedup
+workflow = GraphWorkflow(auto_compile=True)
+
+# Monitor performance
+status = workflow.get_compilation_status()
+print(f"Workers: {status['max_workers']}")

+)
+```
+
+### 💾 Enterprise Features
+
+```python
+# Complete workflow serialization
+json_data = workflow.to_json(include_conversation=True)
+restored = GraphWorkflow.from_json(json_data)
+
+# File persistence
+workflow.save_to_file("my_workflow.json")

+## 🛠️ Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Compilation Errors**
+   ```python
+   # Check for cycles in workflow
+   validation = workflow.validate(auto_fix=True)
+   if not validation['is_valid']:

+   
+   # Check worker count
+   status = workflow.get_compilation_status()
+   print(f"Workers: {status['max_workers']}")
+   ```
+
+3. **Memory Issues**
+   ```python
+   # Clear conversation history if not needed
+   workflow.conversation = Conversation()
+   
+   # Monitor memory usage
+   import psutil
+   process = psutil.Process()
+   memory_mb = process.memory_info().rss / 1024 / 1024
+   print(f"Memory: {memory_mb:.1f} MB")
+   ```
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+```python
+# Enable detailed logging
+workflow = GraphWorkflow(
+    name="DebugWorkflow",
