Elior Nataf LackritzandGitHub 9d92f33cca fix(langgraph): keep a fork's DeltaChannel snapshot from starting nodes that never ran (#9264)
A fork from a checkpoint with pending writes to a DeltaChannel snapshots
the channel on the fork's first checkpoint, so the fork doesn't replay
the other branch's writes. If the channel had never been written there,
the snapshot also gives it its first version, and `_mark_bumps_seen`
only marked the bump seen for nodes that already have a `versions_seen`
entry. A node subscribed to the channel that never ran has none, so the
bump started it, and it read the empty value before the node that writes
the channel had run:

```python
graph.invoke("go", config)  # writer writes [1] to d, reader reads [1]
fork = graph.update_state(first_checkpoint, {"a": "go"}, as_node="__input__")
graph.get_state(fork).next  # ("writer", "reader"): resuming runs reader on [] first
```

A replay from that checkpoint saves the same kind of fork from the loop.
A channel bumped from no version was never written, so
`create_checkpoint` now also marks the bump seen for the nodes the
channel triggers, from the graph's `trigger_to_nodes`, at every call
that can bump. Only raw `Pregel` graphs hit this: `StateGraph` nodes
trigger on their `branch:to:*` channels, not on state keys. An
`as_node="__copy__"` fork still starts such a node, with a plain list
channel as well, so that case isn't DeltaChannel-specific and isn't
changed here.

Raised in review of langchain-ai/langgraphjs#2974. JS twin:
langchain-ai/langgraphjs#2983

## Tests

`test_delta_channel_seal_subscribers.py`: an update as input (sync and
async) and a replay from the checkpoint before a DeltaChannel's first
write leave only the writer next, and the reader then reads the written
value once. All three fail on main. The `langgraph` suite passes
(without Redis), and `lint_package` and `lint_tests` are clean.

Low-level orchestration framework for building stateful agents.

PyPI - License PyPI - Downloads Version Twitter / X

Trusted by companies shaping the future of agents – including Klarna, Replit, Elastic, and more – LangGraph is a low-level orchestration framework for building, managing, and deploying long-running, stateful agents.

pip install -U langgraph

Tip

If you're looking to quickly build agents, check out Deep Agents — a higher-level package built on LangGraph for agents that can plan, use subagents, and leverage file systems for complex tasks.

For an equivalent JS/TS library, check out LangGraph.js and the JS docs.

Why use LangGraph?

LangGraph provides low-level supporting infrastructure for any long-running, stateful workflow or agent:

  • 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 — Seamlessly incorporate human oversight by inspecting and modifying agent state at any point during execution.
  • Comprehensive memory — Create truly stateful agents with both short-term working memory for ongoing reasoning and long-term persistent memory across sessions.
  • Debugging with 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 — Deploy sophisticated agent systems confidently with scalable infrastructure designed to handle the unique challenges of stateful, long-running workflows.

Tip

For developing, debugging, and deploying AI agents and LLM applications, see LangSmith.

LangGraph ecosystem

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:

  • Deep Agents – Build agents that can plan, use subagents, and leverage file systems for complex tasks.
  • LangChain – Provides integrations and composable components to streamline LLM application development.
  • 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 – 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 LangSmith Studio.
