-
-- Make sure optional dependencies are imported within a function.
-- Please do not add dependencies to `pyproject.toml` files (even optional ones) unless they are **required** for unit tests.
-- Most PRs should not touch more than one package.
-- Changes should be backwards compatible.

+LangGraph follows a monorepo organization, with the following structure:
 
-- `make format` – run code formatters
-- `make lint` – run the linter
-- `make test` – execute the test suite
+- `libs/langgraph` is the main Python library, published to pypi as `langgraph`. This contains the majority of the code for the framework, as well as the majority of the unit tests.
+- `libs/checkpoint` , published to pypi as `langgraph-checkpoint` contains the base classes for the persistence layer of langgraph. The two main abstractions are BaseCheckpointSaver (base class for persistence of workflow runs step-by-step) and BaseStore (base class for "long-term memory" operations, offering a key-value interface combined with semantic search over documents, used for persisting information across distinct workflow runs). This library is a dependency of both the main langgraph library, as well as implementations of these storage interfaces for specific databases. This library also contains reference implementations
+- `libs/checkpoint-postgres` published to pypi as langgraph-checkpoint-postgres, contains implementations of checkpoint and store backed by postgres. Majority of the test coverage is in `libs/langgraph` in the form of tests that run over all storage implementations in the repo.
+- `langgraph-java` contains a Java implementation of the langgraph framework, which is in the early stages of development.
 
-To run a particular test file or to pass additional pytest options you can specify the `TEST` variable:
+## Feature Overview
 
-```
-TEST=path/to/test.py make test
-```
+langgraph is an orchestration framework (in the style of airflow or temporal) designed for LLM applications, with a focus on streaming output, cyclical and parallel workflows, and interrupt/resume capabilities. Applications built with langgraph are variously called workflows, graphs, cognitive architectures, agents. Key features:
 
-Other pytest arguments can also be supplied inside the `TEST` variable.
+1. **Graph-based Architecture**: Build directed computation graphs with nodes and edges
+2. **State Management**: Type-safe state schema with custom reducers and transformations
+3. **Human-in-the-loop**: Support for interrupts, checkpoints, and tool call review
+4. **Persistence**: Save and resume execution with in-memory or database storage
+5. **Streaming**: Multiple modes (values, updates, custom) for real-time feedback
+6. **Multi-agent Patterns**: Support for network, supervisor, and hierarchical architectures

+- Follow [ruff](https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff) formatting/linting rules
+- Use [Google Python Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html) for docstrings
+- Enforce type annotations with mypy (`disallow_untyped_defs = True`)
+- Use double quotes for strings
+- Maximum line length of 88 characters
+- Follow imports sorting with `ruff`
+- All functions/classes must have proper docstrings with args/returns
+- Write comprehensive unit tests for new features
+- Keep backward compatibility
+- PR scope should be isolated (changes shouldn't affect multiple packages)
+- Use descriptive variable names following Python conventions
+- Error handling should use appropriate exception types and messaging

+### Build/Test/Lint Commands
 
-Changes to a library may impact all of its dependents shown above.
+- Build the project: `./gradlew build`
+- Run tests: `./gradlew test`
+- Run a specific test: `./gradlew test --tests "com.langgraph.package.TestClass.testMethod"`
+- Check formatting: `./gradlew spotlessCheck`
+- Apply formatting: `./gradlew spotlessApply`
+- Run all checks: `./gradlew check`
+- Generate Javadoc: `./gradlew javadoc`
+
+### Code Style Guidelines
+
+- Follow standard Java code style (Google Java Style Guide)
+- Use 4 spaces for indentation
+- Maximum line length of 100 characters
+- All public methods/classes must have proper Javadoc with @param/@return tags
+- Use descriptive variable names following Java conventions (camelCase)
+- Exception handling should use appropriate exception types with descriptive messages
+- Favor composition over inheritance
+- Use the Builder pattern for complex object creation
+- Write comprehensive unit tests for new features
+
+### Python Compatibility Guidelines
+
+- When implementing features from the Python version:
+  - Maintain semantic equivalence with the Python implementation
+  - Preserve the same behavior for all public APIs
+  - Document any intentional differences in behavior with comments
+  - Pay special attention to collections handling (Python lists vs Java Lists)
+  - Ensure that iteration order and value handling match Python where relevant
+- Use the same test cases as the Python version when possible
+- Do not introduce Java-specific shortcuts that would break Python compatibility
+- Never add test-specific code to source files - tests should adapt to implementation, not vice versa
+
+### Implementation Mapping
+
+- Always consult and update the `PYTHON_JAVA_MAPPING.md` file when:
+  - Adding new Java files or classes
+  - Updating existing Java implementations
+  - Fixing test failures in Java
+  - Implementing Python features in Java
+- This mapping file documents:
+  - Where to find equivalent functionality in Python and Java
+  - Any intentional deviations between implementations
+  - Implementation status and compatibility notes
+- When tests fail, check if the Java implementation matches Python behavior:
+  - Fix the implementation to match Python semantics whenever possible
+  - Update tests only if the Python version also differs
+  - Never create special cases or workarounds in Java just to make tests pass
+  - Document any implementation differences clearly in the mapping file
+- For new features, implement the Python behavior first, then adapt to Java idioms
+
+### Backward Compatibility and API Design
+
+- LangGraph Java has not been released publicly, so there is no need to maintain backward compatibility
+- When renaming methods, members, or classes:
+  - Use the clearest, most intuitive names that match Python semantics
+  - Remove old/deprecated methods completely rather than marking them as deprecated
+  - Update all tests and documentation to use the new names
+  - Do not leave deprecated methods or tests for backward compatibility
+
+### API Design Principles
+
+- Prefer a single, clear way to accomplish each task rather than multiple convenience methods
+- Prefer builder patterns over static factory methods where appropriate
+- For collections, prefer methods that operate on collections rather than having both single-item and collection variants
+- Choose method names that clearly express their purpose and align with Java conventions
+- Maintain consistent naming patterns across similar components
+- Document the recommended usage pattern in JavaDoc
+
+### Project Structure
+
+- `langgraph-core`: Core functionality of the framework
+- `langgraph-checkpoint`: Persistence layer for checkpoints and state management
+- `langgraph-examples`: Example applications and usage patterns
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Use runtime exceptions for unexpected errors
+- Use checked exceptions for recoverable errors
+- Provide clear error messages that include context about what went wrong
+- Validate inputs early to prevent cascading errors
+- Ensure all resources are properly closed even in error conditions

+# Contributing to LangGraph
+
+Thank you for being interested in contributing to LangGraph!
+
+## General guidelines
+
+Here are some things to keep in mind for all types of contributions:
+
+- Follow the ["fork and pull request"](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/exploring-projects-on-github/contributing-to-a-project) workflow.
+- Fill out the checked-in pull request template when opening pull requests. Note related issues and tag relevant maintainers.
+- Ensure your PR passes formatting, linting, and testing checks before requesting a review.
+  - If you would like comments or feedback, please open an issue or discussion and tag a maintainer.
+- Backwards compatibility is key. Your changes must not be breaking, except in case of critical bug and security fixes.
+- Look for duplicate PRs or issues that have already been opened before opening a new one.
+- Keep scope as isolated as possible. As a general rule, your changes should not affect more than one package at a time.
+
+### Bugfixes
+
+For bug fixes, please open up an issue before proposing a fix to ensure the proposal properly addresses the underlying problem. In general, bug fixes should all have an accompanying unit test that fails before the fix.
+
+### New features
+
+For new features, please start a new [discussion](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/discussions), where the maintainers will help with scoping out the necessary changes.
+
+## Contribute Documentation
+
+Documentation is a vital part of LangGraph. We welcome both new documentation for new features and
+community improvements to our current documentation. Please read the resources below before getting started:
+
+- [Documentation style guide](#documentation-style-guide)
+- [Documentation setup](#setup)
+
+## Documentation Style Guide
+
+As LangGraph continues to grow, the surface area of documentation required to cover it continues to grow too.
+This page provides guidelines for anyone writing documentation for LangGraph, as well as some of our philosophies around organization and structure.
+
+## Philosophy
+
+LangGraph's documentation follows the [Diataxis framework](https://diataxis.fr).
+Under this framework, all documentation falls under one of four categories: [Tutorials](#tutorials),
+[How-to guides](#how-to-guides),
+[References](#references), and [Explanations (aka conceptual guides)](#conceptual-guide).
+
+### Tutorials
+
+Tutorials are lessons that take the reader through a practical activity. Their purpose is to help the user
+gain understanding of concepts and how they interact by showing one way to achieve some goal in a hands-on way.
+
+They should **avoid** giving
+multiple permutations of ways to achieve that goal in-depth. Choice is burdensome. Instead, they should guide a new user through a recommended path to accomplishing a concrete goal. While the end result of a tutorial does not necessarily need to
+be completely production-ready, it should be useful and practically satisfy the goal that you clearly stated in the tutorial's introduction.
+
+To quote the Diataxis website:
+
+> A tutorial serves the user’s *acquisition* of skills and knowledge - their study. Its purpose is not to help the user get something done, but to help them learn.
+
+In LangGraph, these are often higher level guides that show off end-to-end use cases.
+
+Some examples include:
+
+- [Build a Customer Support Bot](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/tutorials/customer-support/customer-support/)
+- [Build a SQL Agent](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/tutorials/sql-agent/)
+
+Here are some high-level tips on writing a good tutorial:
+
+- Focus on guiding the user to get something done, but keep in mind the end-goal is more to impart principles than to create a perfect production system.
+- Be specific, not abstract and follow one path.
+  - No need to go deeply into alternative approaches, but it’s ok to reference them, ideally with a link to an appropriate how-to guide.
+- Get "a point on the board" as soon as possible - something the user can run that outputs something.
+  - You can iterate and expand afterwards.
+  - Try to frequently checkpoint at given steps where the user can run code and see progress.
+- Focus on results, not technical explanation.
+  - Crosslink heavily to appropriate conceptual/reference pages
+- The first time you mention a LangGraph concept, use its full name (e.g. "human-in-the-loop"), and link to its conceptual/other documentation page.
+  - It's also helpful to add a prerequisite callout that links to any pages with necessary background information.
+- End with a recap/next steps section summarizing what the tutorial covered and future reading, such as related how-to guides.
+- Use phrases like "Next we can run X & Y. We will expect Z.". Then afterwards, use language like "Notice Z" that recalls our expectations and directs the reader's attention to the topic we are trying to teach.
+- Do not shy away from repetition.
+
+### How-to guides
+
+A how-to guide, as the name implies, demonstrates how to do something discrete and specific.
+It should assume that the user is already familiar with underlying concepts, and is trying to solve an immediate problem, but
+should still give some background or list the scenarios where the information contained within can be relevant.
+They can and should discuss alternatives if one approach may be better than another in certain cases.
+
+To quote the Diataxis website:
+
+> A how-to guide serves the work of the already-competent user, whom you can assume to know what they want to do, and to be able to follow your instructions correctly.
+
+Some examples include:
+
+- [How to add persistence to your graph](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/how-tos/persistence/)
+- [How to view and update past graph state](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/how-tos/human_in_the_loop/time-travel/)
+
+Here are some high-level tips on writing a good how-to guide:
+
+- Clearly explain what you are guiding the user through at the start
+- Assume higher intent than a tutorial and show what the user needs to do to get that task done
+- Assume familiarity of concepts, but explain why suggested actions are helpful
+  - Crosslink heavily to conceptual/reference pages
+- Discuss alternatives and responses to real-world tradeoffs that may arise when solving a problem
+- Use lots of example code, ideally within complete code blocks that the reader can copy and run.
+- End with a recap/next steps section summarizing what the tutorial covered and future reading, such as other related how-to guides
+
+### Conceptual guides
+
+LangGraph's conceptual guides fall under the **Explanation** quadrant of Diataxis. They should cover LangChain terms and concepts
+in a more abstract way than how-to guides or tutorials, and should be geared towards curious users interested in
+gaining a deeper understanding of the framework. Try to avoid excessively large code examples. The goal here is to
+impart perspective to the user rather than to finish a practical project. These guides should cover **why** things work they way they do.
+
+
+To quote the Diataxis website:
+
+> The perspective of explanation is higher and wider than that of the other types. It does not take the user’s eye-level view, as in a how-to guide, or a close-up view of the machinery, like reference material. Its scope in each case is a topic - “an area of knowledge”, that somehow has to be bounded in a reasonable, meaningful way.
+
+Some examples include:
+
+- [What does it mean to be agentic?](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/high_level/)
+- [Tool calling](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/agentic_concepts/#tool-calling)
+
+Here are some high-level tips on writing a good conceptual guide:
+
+- Explain design decisions. Why does concept X exist and why was it designed this way?
+- Use analogies and reference other concepts and alternatives
+- Avoid blending in too much reference content
+- You can and should reference content covered in other guides, but make sure to link to them
+
+### References
+
+References contain detailed, low-level information that describes exactly what functionality exists and how to use it.
+In LangGraph, this is mainly our API reference pages, which are populated from docstrings within code.
+References pages are generally not read end-to-end, but are consulted as necessary when a user needs to know
+how to use something specific.
+
+To quote the Diataxis website:
+
+> The only purpose of a reference guide is to describe, as succinctly as possible, and in an orderly way. Whereas the content of tutorials and how-to guides are led by needs of the user, reference material is led by the product it describes.
+
+Many of the reference pages in LangChain are automatically generated from code,
+but here are some high-level tips on writing a good docstring:
+
+- Be concise
+- Discuss special cases and deviations from a user's expectations
+- Go into detail on required inputs and outputs
+- Light details on when one might use the feature are fine, but in-depth details belong in other sections.
+
+Each category serves a distinct purpose and requires a specific approach to writing and structuring the content.
+
+## General guidelines
+
+Here are some other guidelines you should think about when writing and organizing documentation.
+
+We generally do not merge new tutorials from outside contributors without an actue need.
+We welcome updates as well as new integration docs, how-tos, and references.
+
+### Avoid duplication
+
+Multiple pages that cover the same material in depth are difficult to maintain and cause confusion. There should
+be only one (very rarely two), canonical pages for a given concept or feature. Instead, you should link to other guides.
+
+### Link to other sections
+
+Because sections of the docs do not exist in a vacuum, it is important to link to other sections as often as possible
+to allow a developer to learn more about an unfamiliar topic inline.
+
+This includes linking to the API references as well as conceptual sections!
+
+### Be concise
+
+In general, take a less-is-more approach. If a section with a good explanation of a concept already exists, you should link to it rather than
+re-explain it, unless the concept you are documenting presents some new wrinkle.
+
+Be concise, including in code samples.
+
+### General style
+
+- Use active voice and present tense whenever possible
+- Use examples and code snippets to illustrate concepts and usage
+- Use appropriate header levels (`#`, `##`, `###`, etc.) to organize the content hierarchically
+- Use fewer cells with more code to make copy/paste easier
+- Use bullet points and numbered lists to break down information into easily digestible chunks
+- Use tables (especially for **Reference** sections) and diagrams often to present information visually
+- Include the table of contents for longer documentation pages to help readers navigate the content, but hide it for shorter pages
+
+## Setup
+
+LangChain documentation consists of two components:
+
+1. Main Documentation: Hosted at [https://langchain-ai.github.io](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/),
+this comprehensive resource serves as the primary user-facing documentation.
+It covers a wide array of topics, including tutorials, use cases, integrations,
+and more, offering extensive guidance on building with LangGraph.
+The content for this documentation lives in the `/docs` directory of the monorepo.
+2. In-code Documentation: This is documentation of the codebase itself, which is also
+used to generate the externally facing [API Reference](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/reference/graphs/).
+The content for the API reference is autogenerated by scanning the docstrings in the codebase. For this reason we ask that developers document their code well.
+
+We appreciate all contributions to the documentation, whether it be fixing a typo,
+adding a new tutorial or example and whether it be in the main documentation or the API Reference.
+
+### 📜 Main Documentation
+
+The content for the main documentation is located in the `/docs` directory of the monorepo.
+
+The documentation is written using a combination of ipython notebooks (`.ipynb` files)
+and markdown (`.md` files). The notebooks are converted to markdown
+and then built using [MkDocs](https://www.mkdocs.org/).
+
+Feel free to make contributions to the main documentation! 🥰
+
+After modifying the documentation:
+
+1. Run the linting and formatting commands (see below) to ensure that the documentation is well-formatted and free of errors.
+2. Optionally build the documentation locally to verify that the changes look good.
+3. Make a pull request with the changes.
+
+### ⚒️ Linting and Building Documentation Locally
+
+After writing up the documentation, you may want to lint and build the documentation
+locally to ensure that it looks good and is free of errors.
+
+If you're unable to build it locally that's okay as well, as you will be able to
+see a preview of the documentation on the pull request page.
+
+From the **monorepo root**, run the following command to install the dependencies:
+
+```bash
+poetry install --with docs --no-root
+```
+
+#### Building
+
+The code that builds the documentation is located in the `/docs` directory of the monorepo.
+
+Before building the documentation, it is always a good idea to clean the build directory:
+
+```bash
+make clean-docs
+```
+
+You can build and preview the documentation as outlined below:
+
+```bash
+make serve-docs
+```
+
+#### Linting
+
+The documentation is linted from the **monorepo root**. To lint it, run the following from there:
+
+```bash
+make spellcheck
+```
+
+### ️In-code Documentation
+
+The in-code documentation is autogenerated from docstrings.
+
+For the API reference to be useful, the codebase must be well-documented. This means that all functions, classes, and methods should have a docstring that explains what they do, what the arguments are, and what the return value is. This is a good practice in general, but it is especially important for LangChain because the API reference is the primary resource for developers to understand how to use the codebase.
+
+We generally follow the [Google Python Style Guide](https://google.github.io/styleguide/pyguide.html#38-comments-and-docstrings) for docstrings.
+
+Here is an example of a well-documented function:
+
+```python
+
+def my_function(arg1: int, arg2: str) -> float:
+    """This is a short description of the function. (It should be a single sentence.)
+
+    This is a longer description of the function. It should explain what
+    the function does, what the arguments are, and what the return value is.
+    It should wrap at 88 characters.
+
+    Examples:
+        This is a section for examples of how to use the function.
+
+        .. code-block:: python
+
+            my_function(1, "hello")
+
+    Args:
+        arg1: This is a description of arg1. We do not need to specify the type since
+            it is already specified in the function signature.
+        arg2: This is a description of arg2.
+
+    Returns:
+        This is a description of the return value.
+    """
+    return 3.14
+```

-Install LangGraph:
+## Overview
 
-```
+[LangGraph](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/) is a library for building
+stateful, multi-actor applications with LLMs, used to create agent and multi-agent
+workflows. Check out an introductory tutorial [here](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/tutorials/introduction/).
+
+
+LangGraph is inspired by [Pregel](https://research.google/pubs/pub37252/) and [Apache Beam](https://beam.apache.org/). The public interface draws inspiration from [NetworkX](https://networkx.org/documentation/latest/). LangGraph is built by LangChain Inc, the creators of LangChain, but can be used without LangChain.
+
+### Why use LangGraph?
+
+LangGraph powers [production-grade agents](https://www.langchain.com/built-with-langgraph), trusted by Linkedin, Uber, Klarna, GitLab, and many more. LangGraph provides fine-grained control over both the flow and state of your agent applications. It implements a central [persistence layer](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/persistence/), enabling features that are common to most agent architectures:
+
+- **Memory**: LangGraph persists arbitrary aspects of your application's state,
+supporting memory of conversations and other updates within and across user
+interactions;
+- **Human-in-the-loop**: Because state is checkpointed, execution can be interrupted
+and resumed, allowing for decisions, validation, and corrections at key stages via
+human input.
+
+Standardizing these components allows individuals and teams to focus on the behavior
+of their agent, instead of its supporting infrastructure.
+
+Through [LangGraph Platform](#langgraph-platform), LangGraph also provides tooling for
+the development, deployment, debugging, and monitoring of your applications.
+
+LangGraph integrates seamlessly with
+[LangChain](https://python.langchain.com/docs/introduction/) and
+[LangSmith](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/) (but does not require them).
+
+To learn more about LangGraph, check out our first LangChain Academy
+course, *Introduction to LangGraph*, available for free
+[here](https://academy.langchain.com/courses/intro-to-langgraph).
+
+### LangGraph Platform
+
+[LangGraph Platform](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/langgraph_platform) is infrastructure for deploying LangGraph agents. It is a commercial solution for deploying agentic applications to production, built on the open-source LangGraph framework. The LangGraph Platform consists of several components that work together to support the development, deployment, debugging, and monitoring of LangGraph applications: [LangGraph Server](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/langgraph_server) (APIs), [LangGraph SDKs](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/sdk) (clients for the APIs), [LangGraph CLI](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/langgraph_cli) (command line tool for building the server), and [LangGraph Studio](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/langgraph_studio) (UI/debugger).
+
+See deployment options [here](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/deployment_options/)
+(includes a free tier).
+
+Here are some common issues that arise in complex deployments, which LangGraph Platform addresses:
+
+- **Streaming support**: LangGraph Server provides [multiple streaming modes](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/streaming) optimized for various application needs
+- **Background runs**: Runs agents asynchronously in the background
+- **Support for long running agents**: Infrastructure that can handle long running processes
+- **[Double texting](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/double_texting)**: Handle the case where you get two messages from the user before the agent can respond
+- **Handle burstiness**: Task queue for ensuring requests are handled consistently without loss, even under heavy loads
+
+## Installation
+
+```shell
 pip install -U langgraph
 ```
 
-Create a simple workflow:
+## Example
 
-```python
-from langgraph.graph import START, StateGraph
-from typing_extensions import TypedDict
+Let's build a tool-calling [ReAct-style](https://langchain-ai.github.io/langgraph/concepts/agentic_concepts/#react-implementation) agent that uses a search tool!
 
-
-class State(TypedDict):
-    text: str
-
-
-def node_a(state: State) -> dict:
-    return {"text": state["text"] + "a"}
-
-
-def node_b(state: State) -> dict:
-    return {"text": state["text"] + "b"}
-
-
-graph = StateGraph(State)
-graph.add_node("node_a", node_a)
-graph.add_node("node_b", node_b)
-graph.add_edge(START, "node_a")
-graph.add_edge("node_a", "node_b")
-
-print(graph.compile().invoke({"text": ""}))
-# {'text': 'ab'}
+```shell
+pip install langchain-anthropic
 ```
 
-Get started with the [LangGraph Quickstart](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/quickstart).
+```shell
+export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=sk-...
+```
 
-To quickly build agents with LangChain's `create_agent` (built on LangGraph), see the [LangChain Agents documentation](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langchain/agents).
+Optionally, we can set up [LangSmith](https://docs.smith.langchain.com/) for best-in-class observability.
 
-## Core benefits
+```shell
+export LANGSMITH_TRACING=true
+export LANGSMITH_API_KEY=lsv2_sk_...
+```
 
-LangGraph provides low-level supporting infrastructure for *any* long-running, stateful workflow or agent. LangGraph does not abstract prompts or architecture, and provides the following central benefits:
+The simplest way to create a tool-calling agent in LangGraph is to use `create_react_agent`:
 
-- [Durable execution](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/durable-execution): Build agents that persist through failures and can run for extended periods, automatically resuming from exactly where they left off.
-- [Human-in-the-loop](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/interrupts): Seamlessly incorporate human oversight by inspecting and modifying agent state at any point during execution.
-- [Comprehensive memory](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/memory): Create truly stateful agents with both short-term working memory for ongoing reasoning and long-term persistent memory across sessions.
-- [Debugging with LangSmith](http://www.langchain.com/langsmith): Gain deep visibility into complex agent behavior with visualization tools that trace execution paths, capture state transitions, and provide detailed runtime metrics.
-- [Production-ready deployment](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/app-development): Deploy sophisticated agent systems confidently with scalable infrastructure designed to handle the unique challenges of stateful, long-running workflows.

-## LangGraph’s ecosystem
+```python
+from langgraph.prebuilt import create_react_agent
+from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import MemorySaver
+from langchain_anthropic import ChatAnthropic
+from langchain_core.tools import tool
 
-While LangGraph can be used standalone, it also integrates seamlessly with any LangChain product, giving developers a full suite of tools for building agents. To improve your LLM application development, pair LangGraph with:
+# Define the tools for the agent to use
+@tool
+def search(query: str):
+    """Call to surf the web."""
+    # This is a placeholder, but don't tell the LLM that...
+    if "sf" in query.lower() or "san francisco" in query.lower():
+        return "It's 60 degrees and foggy."
+    return "It's 90 degrees and sunny."
 
-- [LangSmith](http://www.langchain.com/langsmith) — Helpful for agent evals and observability. Debug poor-performing LLM app runs, evaluate agent trajectories, gain visibility in production, and improve performance over time.
-- [LangSmith Deployment](https://docs.langchain.com/langsmith/deployments) — Deploy and scale agents effortlessly with a purpose-built deployment platform for long running, stateful workflows. Discover, reuse, configure, and share agents across teams — and iterate quickly with visual prototyping in [LangGraph Studio](https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/studio).

+"Based on the search results, I can tell you that the current weather in San Francisco is:\n\nTemperature: 60 degrees Fahrenheit\nConditions: Foggy\n\nSan Francisco is known for its microclimates and frequent fog, especially during the summer months. The temperature of 60°F (about 15.5°C) is quite typical for the city, which tends to have mild temperatures year-round. The fog, often referred to as "Karl the Fog" by locals, is a characteristic feature of San Francisco\'s weather, particularly in the mornings and evenings.\n\nIs there anything else you\'d like to know about the weather in San Francisco or any other location?"

-LangGraph is inspired by [Pregel](https://research.google/pubs/pub37252/) and [Apache Beam](https://beam.apache.org/). The public interface draws inspiration from [NetworkX](https://networkx.org/documentation/latest/). LangGraph is built by LangChain Inc, the creators of LangChain, but can be used without LangChain.
+Now when we pass the same <code>"thread_id"</code>, the conversation context is retained via the saved state (i.e. stored list of messages)
+
+```python
+final_state = app.invoke(
+    {"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "what about ny"}]},

+"Based on the search results, I can tell you that the current weather in New York City is:\n\nTemperature: 90 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 32.2 degrees Celsius)\nConditions: Sunny\n\nThis weather is quite different from what we just saw in San Francisco. New York is experiencing much warmer temperatures right now. Here are a few points to note:\n\n1. The temperature of 90°F is quite hot, typical of summer weather in New York City.\n2. The sunny conditions suggest clear skies, which is great for outdoor activities but also means it might feel even hotter due to direct sunlight.\n3. This kind of weather in New York often comes with high humidity, which can make it feel even warmer than the actual temperature suggests.\n\nIt's interesting to see the stark contrast between San Francisco's mild, foggy weather and New York's hot, sunny conditions. This difference illustrates how varied weather can be across different parts of the United States, even on the same day.\n\nIs there anything else you'd like to know about the weather in New York or any other location?"

+<b>Step-by-step Breakdown</b>:
+
+<details>
+<summary>Initialize the model and tools.</summary>
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    We use <code>ChatAnthropic</code> as our LLM. <strong>NOTE:</strong> we need to make sure the model knows that it has these tools available to call. We can do this by converting the LangChain tools into the format for OpenAI tool calling using the <code>.bind_tools()</code> method.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    We define the tools we want to use - a search tool in our case. It is really easy to create your own tools - see documentation here on how to do that <a href="https://python.langchain.com/docs/how_to/custom_tools/">here</a>.
+  </li>
+</ul>
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Initialize graph with state.</summary>
+
+<ul>
+    <li>We initialize graph (<code>StateGraph</code>) by passing state schema (in our case <code>MessagesState</code>)</li>
+    <li><code>MessagesState</code> is a prebuilt state schema that has one attribute -- a list of LangChain <code>Message</code> objects, as well as logic for merging the updates from each node into the state.</li>
+</ul>
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Define graph nodes.</summary>
+
+There are two main nodes we need:
+
+<ul>
+    <li>The <code>agent</code> node: responsible for deciding what (if any) actions to take.</li>
+    <li>The <code>tools</code> node that invokes tools: if the agent decides to take an action, this node will then execute that action.</li>
+</ul>
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Define entry point and graph edges.</summary>
+
+First, we need to set the entry point for graph execution - <code>agent</code> node.
+
+Then we define one normal and one conditional edge. Conditional edge means that the destination depends on the contents of the graph's state (<code>MessagesState</code>). In our case, the destination is not known until the agent (LLM) decides.
+
+<ul>
+  <li>Conditional edge: after the agent is called, we should either:
+    <ul>
+      <li>a. Run tools if the agent said to take an action, OR</li>
+      <li>b. Finish (respond to the user) if the agent did not ask to run tools</li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+  <li>Normal edge: after the tools are invoked, the graph should always return to the agent to decide what to do next</li>
+</ul>
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Compile the graph.</summary>
+
+<ul>
+  <li>
+    When we compile the graph, we turn it into a LangChain 
+    <a href="https://python.langchain.com/docs/concepts/runnables/">Runnable</a>, 
+    which automatically enables calling <code>.invoke()</code>, <code>.stream()</code> and <code>.batch()</code> 
+    with your inputs
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    We can also optionally pass checkpointer object for persisting state between graph runs, and enabling memory, 
+    human-in-the-loop workflows, time travel and more. In our case we use <code>MemorySaver</code> - 
+    a simple in-memory checkpointer
+  </li>
+</ul>
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Execute the graph.</summary>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>LangGraph adds the input message to the internal state, then passes the state to the entrypoint node, <code>"agent"</code>.</li>
+  <li>The <code>"agent"</code> node executes, invoking the chat model.</li>
+  <li>The chat model returns an <code>AIMessage</code>. LangGraph adds this to the state.</li>
+  <li>Graph cycles the following steps until there are no more <code>tool_calls</code> on <code>AIMessage</code>:
+    <ul>
+      <li>If <code>AIMessage</code> has <code>tool_calls</code>, <code>"tools"</code> node executes</li>
+      <li>The <code>"agent"</code> node executes again and returns <code>AIMessage</code></li>
+    </ul>
+  </li>
+  <li>Execution progresses to the special <code>END</code> value and outputs the final state. And as a result, we get a list of all our chat messages as output.</li>
+</ol>

+# Channel Initialization in Java LangGraph
+
+This document explains how channel initialization is handled in the Java implementation of LangGraph, matching Python's behavior.
+
+## Current Implementation 
+
+### Java Implementation (Python-Compatible)
+
+In the Java implementation:
+
+1. **First Superstep Behavior**:
+   - Only nodes that have the input channel as one of their triggers run in the first superstep
+   - This matches Python's behavior for graph execution
+
+2. **Channel Reading**:
+   - Channels that haven't been initialized return `null` values (instead of throwing exceptions)
+   - Nodes are expected to handle potentially `null` values from uninitialized channels
+
+3. **Graph Execution**:
+   - Subsequent supersteps only execute nodes that:
+     - Subscribe to a channel that was updated
+     - OR have a trigger matching a channel that was updated
+
+## Key Distinctions
+
+There's an important distinction between:
+
+1. **Input channels** - Channels from which the node reads values when it executes
+2. **Trigger channels** - Channels that determine when this node should execute
+
+In our Java implementation:
+- `channels` property defines which channels the node reads from
+- `triggerChannels` property defines which channels can cause the node to execute
+
+This naming is more intuitive and aligns better with the conceptual distinction between reading from a channel and being triggered by a channel.
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+The Python-compatible implementation in Java LangGraph makes the following changes:
+
+1. Modified `TaskPlanner.plan()` to only execute nodes with input channel triggers in the first superstep
+2. Updated tests to:
+   - Add triggers for nodes that should execute on first superstep (e.g., `trigger("input")`)
+   - Remove unnecessary manual channel initialization that was previously used to avoid EmptyChannelException
+   - Use input maps to provide initial values instead of `channel.update()`
+   - Only keep manual initialization in specific test cases that need it (like the mix of initialized/uninitialized channels test)
+3. Clarified the distinction between "subscribe to read" and "trigger to execute" semantics
+
+## Recommended Practices
+
+When building graphs with the Java implementation, follow these practices to ensure Python compatibility:
+
+### 1. Add trigger channels to nodes
+
+Always add appropriate trigger channels to nodes that should execute in the first superstep:
+
+```java
+PregelNode node = new PregelNode.Builder("node", executable)
+    .channel("input")          // Channel to read from
+    .triggerChannel("input")   // Channel that triggers execution 
+    .writer("output")
+    .build();
+```
+
+You can also add multiple trigger channels if needed:
+
+```java
+PregelNode node = new PregelNode.Builder("node", executable)
+    .channel("input1")
+    .channel("input2")
+    .triggerChannel("input1")   // Will trigger on this channel
+    .triggerChannel("input2")   // And also on this channel
+    .writer("output")
+    .build();
+```
+
+### 2. Handle uninitialized channels gracefully
+
+Inside node execution logic, handle potentially uninitialized channels using default values:
+
+```java
+// Handle uninitialized channels with a default value
+Integer input = 0; // Default value for uninitialized channel
+if (inputs.containsKey("inputChannel") && inputs.get("inputChannel") != null) {
+    input = (Integer) inputs.get("inputChannel");
+}
+```
+
+### 3. Provide initial values through input map
+
+Instead of manually initializing channels, provide initial values through the input map:
+
+```java
+// DO NOT do this:
+// channel.update(Collections.singletonList(initialValue));
+
+// Instead, provide values in the input map:
+Map<String, Object> input = new HashMap<>();
+input.put("inputChannel", initialValue);
+Object result = pregel.invoke(input, null);
+```
+
+### 4. Remember execution rules
+
+- Only nodes with input channel as a trigger run in the first superstep
+- In subsequent supersteps, nodes run if they subscribe to or have a trigger matching an updated channel
+- Uninitialized channels return `null` or empty collections rather than throwing exceptions

+# Python-Java Implementation Mapping
+
+This document records the mapping between Python and Java implementations of LangGraph, highlighting any deliberate differences and their rationale.
+
+## Core Components
+
+### Channels
+
+| Component | Python Path | Java Path | Deviations |
+|-----------|-------------|-----------|------------|
+| BaseChannel | langgraph/channels/base.py | com.langgraph.channels.BaseChannel | Java uses interface with default methods instead of Python's abstract base class. Channel returns null or empty values when uninitialized, rather than throwing exceptions. |
+| AbstractChannel | langgraph/channels/base.py | com.langgraph.channels.AbstractChannel | Java implementation provides default functionality shared by channel implementations. Added Python compatibility for uninitialized channels. |
+| TopicChannel | langgraph/channels/topic_channel.py | com.langgraph.channels.TopicChannel | Java implementation preserves Python's multi-value behavior while using Java collections. Returns empty list for uninitialized channels. |
+| LastValue | langgraph/channels/last_value.py | com.langgraph.channels.LastValue | Returns null for uninitialized channels to match Python behavior. |
+| EphemeralValue | langgraph/channels/ephemeral_value.py | com.langgraph.channels.EphemeralValue | Returns null for uninitialized channels to match Python behavior. |
+| Channels (utility) | langgraph/channels/__init__.py | com.langgraph.channels.Channels | Java uses utility class with static methods instead of module-level functions. |
+
+### Pregel Algorithm
+
+| Component | Python Path | Java Path | Deviations |
+|-----------|-------------|-----------|------------|
+| PregelNode | langgraph/pregel/algorithm.py | com.langgraph.pregel.PregelNode | Java exposes these concepts with clearer naming: 'channels' (input channels to read from) and 'triggerChannels' (channels that trigger execution). Java now supports multiple trigger channels like Python. |
+| Pregel | langgraph/pregel/pregel.py | com.langgraph.pregel.Pregel | Java uses Builder pattern instead of Python's initialization parameters. Functionally equivalent. |
+| PregelLoop | langgraph/pregel/pregel_loop.py | com.langgraph.pregel.execute.PregelLoop | Implementation follows Java conventions with robust cycle detection. Ensures runs complete when possible by executing a final validation step before throwing recursion errors. |
+| Runner Functions | langgraph/pregel/runner.py | com.langgraph.pregel.execute.SuperstepManager | Python's functional approach mapped to Java's object-oriented design. |
+| Algorithm Functions | langgraph/pregel/algo.py | Various Java classes | Python's functional approach distributed across several Java classes according to responsibility. |
+| TaskPlanner | langgraph/pregel/algo.py | com.langgraph.pregel.task.TaskPlanner | Java implementation now matches Python: only nodes with the input channel as a trigger execute on first run. See CHANNEL_INITIALIZATION.md for details. |
+
+### Checkpoint
+
+| Component | Python Path | Java Path | Deviations |
+|-----------|-------------|-----------|------------|
+| BaseCheckpointSaver | langgraph/checkpoint/base.py | com.langgraph.checkpoint.base.BaseCheckpointSaver | Java uses interfaces rather than abstract classes where appropriate. |
+| MemoryCheckpointSaver | langgraph/checkpoint/memory.py | com.langgraph.checkpoint.base.memory.MemoryCheckpointSaver | Java implementation uses more type safety but maintains same functionality. |
+| Serializer | langgraph/checkpoint/serde.py | com.langgraph.checkpoint.serde.Serializer | Java uses interface with specific implementations for different serialization approaches. |
+
+## Method-Level Mappings
+
+### PregelLoop (Python: langgraph/pregel/loop.py, Java: com.langgraph.pregel.execute.PregelLoop)
+
+| Python Method | Java Method | Deviations |
+|---------------|-------------|------------|
+| `__init__` | Constructor + Builder pattern | Java uses Builder pattern for more flexible initialization. |
+| `tick` | `execute` | Same core functionality, but with improved recursion detection that matches Python behavior while being more resilient. Java executes a final validation step before throwing recursion errors to ensure runs complete when possible. |
+| `_first` | `initializeWithInput` | Similar initialization logic but with Java-specific patterns. |
+| `stream` | `stream` | Both handle streaming with similar semantics but with improved robustness in Java. Stream mode includes more validation to prevent false recursion errors. |
+| `_put_checkpoint` | `createCheckpoint` | Similar checkpoint creation but with Java-specific implementation. |
+
+### Runner Functions (Python: langgraph/pregel/runner.py)
+
+| Python Function | Java Method | Deviations |
+|-----------------|-------------|------------|
+| `commit` | `SuperstepManager.commit` | Java implementation encapsulates in object instead of standalone function. |
+| `tick` | `SuperstepManager.tick` | Same core functionality but adapted to Java's object-oriented paradigm. |
+
+### Algorithm Functions (Python: langgraph/pregel/algo.py)
+
+| Python Function | Java Method | Deviations |
+|-----------------|-------------|------------|
+| `prepare_next_tasks` | `TaskPlanner.planTasks` | Java implementation encapsulates in object instead of standalone function. |
+| `prepare_single_task` | `TaskPlanner.planSingleTask` | Same approach but with stronger typing in Java. |
+| `apply_writes` | Multiple methods in ChannelRegistry | Java distributes responsibility across specialized classes. |
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+### General Patterns
+- Java uses more explicit type information compared to Python
+- Builder pattern is used in Java where Python uses parameter initialization
+- Java collections (List, Map) replace Python collections (list, dict)
+- Java follows standard exception hierarchy rather than Python's exception model
+- Python's functional approach is often translated to Java's object-oriented design using objects with state
+- Uninitialized channels in Java return null or empty collections rather than throwing exceptions
+- Nodes in Java follow Python's behavior: only nodes with input channel as a trigger run in the first superstep
+- Both implementations handle uninitialized channels gracefully without requiring manual initialization
+
+### Missing Features (To Be Implemented)
+- Some stream modes are not yet fully implemented in Java
+- Advanced graph features are still under development in Java
+- Some error handling cases need refinement to match Python semantics fully
+
+## When Adding New Components
+When adding new Java classes that correspond to Python implementations:
+1. Add an entry to this document
+2. Document any deviations and justify according to allowed reasons:
+   - Different public interfaces to match Java developer expectations
+   - Different implementation details to match Java stdlib/patterns
+   - Not yet fully implemented Python behavior
+3. Never introduce deviations just to take shortcuts or change behavior

+
+## Requirements
+
+- Java 17 or higher
+- Gradle 7.0 or higher
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+./gradlew build
+```
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Basic Example
+
+Here's a simple example that creates a graph with a single node that adds 1 to its input:
+
+```java
+import com.langgraph.channels.LastValue;
+import com.langgraph.pregel.Pregel;
+import com.langgraph.pregel.PregelExecutable;
+import com.langgraph.pregel.PregelNode;
+
+import java.util.HashMap;
+import java.util.Map;
+
+public class SimpleExample {
+    public static void main(String[] args) {
+        // Create a node that adds 1 to the input
+        PregelNode<Integer, Integer> node = new PregelNode.Builder<>("adder", 
+            new PregelExecutable<Integer, Integer>() {
+                @Override
+                public Map<String, Integer> execute(Map<String, Integer> inputs, Map<String, Object> context) {
+                    // Get input value, default to 0 if not present
+                    int inputValue = inputs.getOrDefault("input", 0);
+                    
+                    // Return output with value increased by 1
+                    Map<String, Integer> output = new HashMap<>();
+                    output.put("output", inputValue + 1);
+                    return output;
+                }
+            })
+            .channels("input")        // Read from "input" channel
+            .triggerChannels("input") // Triggered by "input" updates
+            .writers("output")        // Write to "output" channel
+            .build();
+        
+        // Create channels
+        Map<String, BaseChannel<?, ?, ?>> channels = new HashMap<>();
+        channels.put("input", LastValue.<Integer>create("input"));
+        channels.put("output", LastValue.<Integer>create("output"));
+        
+        // Create Pregel instance
+        Pregel<Integer, Integer> pregel = new Pregel.Builder<Integer, Integer>()
+                .addNode(node)
+                .addChannels(channels)
+                .build();

+        // Print result (should be 6)
+        System.out.println("Result: " + result.get("output"));

+
+### Multi-Step Graph Example
+
+Here's an example of a two-node graph that performs sequential processing:
+
+```java
+import com.langgraph.channels.BaseChannel;
+import com.langgraph.channels.LastValue;
+import com.langgraph.pregel.Pregel;
+import com.langgraph.pregel.PregelExecutable;
+import com.langgraph.pregel.PregelNode;
+
+import java.util.*;
+
+public class SequentialExample {
+    public static void main(String[] args) {
+        // First node: Add 1 to the input and write to intermediate channel
+        PregelNode<Integer, Integer> adder = new PregelNode.Builder<>("adder", 
+            new PregelExecutable<Integer, Integer>() {
+                @Override
+                public Map<String, Integer> execute(Map<String, Integer> inputs, Map<String, Object> context) {
+                    int inputValue = inputs.getOrDefault("input", 0);
+                    System.out.println("Adder received input: " + inputValue);
+

+                    int result = inputValue + 1;
+

+## Advanced Usage
+
+### Working with String Data
+
+```java
+// Create a node that processes string data
+PregelNode<String, String> processor = new PregelNode.Builder<>("processor", 
+    new PregelExecutable<String, String>() {
+        @Override
+        public Map<String, String> execute(Map<String, String> inputs, Map<String, Object> context) {
+            String input = inputs.getOrDefault("input", "");
+            Map<String, String> output = new HashMap<>();
+            output.put("output", input.toUpperCase());
+            return output;
+        }
+    })
+    .channels("input")
+    .triggerChannels("input")
+    .writers("output")
+    .build();
+
+// Create channels
+Map<String, BaseChannel<?, ?, ?>> channels = new HashMap<>();
+channels.put("input", LastValue.<String>create("input"));
+channels.put("output", LastValue.<String>create("output"));
+
+// Create Pregel instance
+Pregel<String, String> pregel = new Pregel.Builder<String, String>()
+        .addNode(processor)
+        .addChannels(channels)
+        .build();
+```
+
+### Working with JSON-like Data
+
+```java
+// Create a node that processes Map<String, Object> data (JSON-like)
+PregelNode<Map<String, Object>, Map<String, Object>> processor = 
+    new PregelNode.Builder<>("processor", 
+        new PregelExecutable<Map<String, Object>, Map<String, Object>>() {
+            @Override
+            public Map<String, Map<String, Object>> execute(
+                    Map<String, Map<String, Object>> inputs, 
+                    Map<String, Object> context) {
+                
+                Map<String, Object> input = inputs.getOrDefault("input", Collections.emptyMap());
+                
+                // Process input
+                Map<String, Object> result = new HashMap<>(input);
+                result.put("processed", true);
+                
+                Map<String, Map<String, Object>> output = new HashMap<>();
+                output.put("output", result);
+                return output;
+            }
+        })
+        .channels("input")
+        .triggerChannels("input")
+        .writers("output")
+        .build();
+
+// Create channels
+Map<String, BaseChannel<?, ?, ?>> channels = new HashMap<>();
+channels.put("input", LastValue.<Map<String, Object>>create("input"));
+channels.put("output", LastValue.<Map<String, Object>>create("output"));
+
+// Create Pregel instance
+Pregel<Map<String, Object>, Map<String, Object>> pregel = 
+    new Pregel.Builder<Map<String, Object>, Map<String, Object>>()
+        .addNode(processor)
+        .addChannels(channels)
+        .build();
+```
+
+## Channel Types
+
+LangGraph Java provides different channel types for different use cases:
+
+- **LastValue**: Stores the last value written to the channel
+- **TopicChannel**: Collects multiple values into a list
+- **EphemeralValue**: Only available for the current execution step

+#   Gradle start up script for POSIX generated by Gradle.
+#
+#   Important for running:
+#
+#   (1) You need a POSIX-compliant shell to run this script. If your /bin/sh is
+#       noncompliant, but you have some other compliant shell such as ksh or
+#       bash, then to run this script, type that shell name before the whole
+#       command line, like:
+#
+#           ksh Gradle
+#
+#       Busybox and similar reduced shells will NOT work, because this script
+#       requires all of these POSIX shell features:
+#         * functions;
+#         * expansions «$var», «${var}», «${var:-default}», «${var+SET}»,
+#           «${var#prefix}», «${var%suffix}», and «$( cmd )»;
+#         * compound commands having a testable exit status, especially «case»;
+#         * various built-in commands including «command», «set», and «ulimit».
+#
+#   Important for patching:
+#
+#   (2) This script targets any POSIX shell, so it avoids extensions provided
+#       by Bash, Ksh, etc; in particular arrays are avoided.
+#
+#       The "traditional" practice of packing multiple parameters into a
+#       space-separated string is a well documented source of bugs and security
+#       problems, so this is (mostly) avoided, by progressively accumulating
+#       options in "$@", and eventually passing that to Java.
+#
+#       Where the inherited environment variables (DEFAULT_JVM_OPTS, JAVA_OPTS,
+#       and GRADLE_OPTS) rely on word-splitting, this is performed explicitly;
+#       see the in-line comments for details.
+#
+#       There are tweaks for specific operating systems such as AIX, CygWin,
+#       Darwin, MinGW, and NonStop.
+#
+#   (3) This script is generated from the Groovy template
+#       https://github.com/gradle/gradle/blob/HEAD/platforms/jvm/plugins-application/src/main/resources/org/gradle/api/internal/plugins/unixStartScript.txt

+/**
+ * Represents a type-safe actor (node) in the Pregel system.
+ * A node is a computational unit that reads from input channels,
+ * executes an action, and writes results to output channels with type safety.
+ * 
+ * <p>There are two key concepts for how nodes interact with channels:
+ * <ul>
+ *   <li>Input Channels ({@link #channels}): Channels from which the node reads values.
+ *       When a node executes, it receives values from all its input channels.
+ *   </li>
+ *   <li>Trigger Channels ({@link #triggerChannels}): Special channel(s) that determine when this node
+ *       should execute. A node will execute when any of its trigger channels are updated.
+ *   </li>
+ * </ul>
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * <p>In Python LangGraph, nodes only run on the first superstep if they have the input channel
+ * as one of their triggers. In Java LangGraph, we now match this behavior - nodes only run
+ * in the first superstep if they have appropriate trigger channels defined. For proper 
+ * Python compatibility, it's important to explicitly define input channel as a trigger on 
+ * nodes that should execute first.
+ * </p>
+ * 
+ * @param <I> The input type that the node expects
+ * @param <O> The output type that the node produces
