Elior Nataf LackritzandGitHub a0053bb616 fix(sdk-py): end a thread stream's run only on a root lifecycle event (#9228)
The thread stream's lifecycle watcher ended the run on any `completed`
or `failed` lifecycle event, including the one a subgraph sends when it
finishes. So `thread.output` could read the thread state before the
parent stored the step that ran the subgraph, and a run that failed
after a subgraph completed was reported as completed. The async and sync
watchers now end the run only on a root event, with the
`_is_root_terminal_lifecycle` check the fanout already uses. The JS SDK
checks the root namespace here too.

This is the `sdk-py integration` flake where the final `items` comes
back as `['streamed', 'tool', 'asked']` without `'sub'`: the example
graph's last node runs a subgraph.

## Tests

New async and sync tests send a subgraph `completed` and then a root
`failed`. Without the fix the run ends as completed. `make lint` and
`make test` in `libs/sdk-py` pass.

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.
