Caspar BroekhuizenandGitHub 504e91ad5a feat(langgraph): add Overwrite to bypass reducer (#6286)
See https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/pull/6277

Adds langgraph.types.Overwrite, a deterministic way to bypass a reducer.
When encountering a value wrapped with Overwrite,
BinaryOperatorAggregate overwrites the channel value.

/>

If either node_b or node_c overwrite (but not both), then at END the
channel is equal to the value node_b or node_c wrote. Order of execution
doesn't matter because once an Overwrite value is encountered, regular
values are ignored (self.operator is not called for the rest of the
update)

If multiple nodes overwrite in the same superstep then
InvalidUpdateError is thrown

Usage
```python
from langgraph.types import Overwrite

def node_b(state:State):
    return {"messages": Overwrite(["b"])}
```
or
``` python
def node_b(state:State):
    return {"messages": {"__overwrite__": ["b"]}}
```
