Langgraph Implementation

This implements LangGraph's stateful agent graphs with proper checkpointing and human-in-the-loop patterns. You get concrete guidance on state schemas (TypedDict vs Pydantic), conditional routing, and the Command/Send patterns for dynamic flows. The implementation gates are the standout here: four sequenced checks that force you to verify thread IDs are stable, state contains what your next node expects, and you've actually inspected pending work before resuming. It distinguishes between InMemorySaver for tests and durable checkpointers for production, which matters when you're debugging why state disappeared. Covers streaming modes, subgraphs, and the practical difference between interrupt() calls and interrupt_before/after configuration.

LangGraph Implementation

Core Concepts

LangGraph builds stateful, multi-actor agent applications using a graph-based architecture:

StateGraph: Builder class for defining graphs with shared state
Nodes: Functions that read state and return partial updates
Edges: Define execution flow (static or conditional)
Channels: Internal state management (LastValue, BinaryOperatorAggregate)
Checkpointer: Persistence for pause/resume capabilities

Implementation gates

Use these sequenced checks for persistence and human-in-the-loop flows (avoid “it should work” without evidence):

Checkpointed runs
- Build config with {"configurable": {"thread_id": "<stable-id>"}} before invoke / ainvoke.
- Pass: The same thread_id is reused for every turn of one conversation; a new conversation uses a new id.
State after a step
- Pass: graph.get_state(config).values (or equivalent) contains the keys and reducer outputs your next node or client expects; if not, fix routing, reducers, or node order before continuing.
