test: cover env path containment

## Summary

Releases `langgraph` 1.2.8.

Bumps the package version `1.2.7` -> `1.2.8` and propagates it into the
`langgraph`, `prebuilt`, and `sdk-py` lockfiles. No dependency floor or
source changes.

## Changes

- Update `libs/langgraph/pyproject.toml` to version `1.2.8`.
- Update the editable `langgraph` package entries in
`libs/langgraph/uv.lock`, `libs/prebuilt/uv.lock`, and
`libs/sdk-py/uv.lock`.

 Originally a regression suite for deepagents#3774 — `update_state` on a *fresh*
 thread silently dropped the first write to a `DeltaChannel`-backed channel

-Fixed by lazily persisting an empty stub checkpoint on a fresh thread so the
-first write has a parent to anchor under (mirrors the exit-mode lazy-stub
-pattern in `_loop._put_exit_delta_writes`).
+because channel writes were only persisted when a previous checkpoint existed

+Fixed by forcing a self-contained `_DeltaSnapshot` blob into the first
+checkpoint on a fresh thread (`saved is None`), so the value is stored inline
+and no ancestor write-replay is required. This keeps the read/replay path
+untouched.
