Bug Report

Feature Area: LangGraph Integration — Core Architecture
Milestone: v3.3.0 (Actor Graphs)
Severity: Critical — the entire LangGraph integration layer bypasses native LangGraph

What Was Tested

Code-level analysis of src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py (LangGraph class) against the spec's LangGraph integration requirements.

Expected Behavior (from spec)

The spec states:

LangGraph | (transitive) | Stateful workflow orchestration | StateGraph with conditional edges, checkpointing (MemorySaver), and streaming execution.

Actor graphs (StateGraphs defined in YAML) are deployed to LangGraph Platform as separate deployments. The server invokes them via RemoteGraph.

The spec explicitly requires using LangGraph's native StateGraph with compile(), MemorySaver checkpointing, and streaming execution. The three production workflows (ContextAnalysisAgent, AutoDebugAgent, PlanGenerationGraph) correctly use StateGraph.compile(checkpointer=MemorySaver()).

Actual Behavior

The custom LangGraph class in src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py does not use LangGraph's StateGraph at all. Instead, it reimplements graph execution from scratch using RxPy reactive streams:

class LangGraph:  # Does NOT use langgraph.graph.StateGraph
    def __init__(self, config: GraphConfig, ...):
        self._initialize_nodes()
        self._create_graph_streams()  # Creates RxPy streams, not LangGraph nodes
        self._analyze_graph()
    
    async def execute(self, input_data):
        # Sends to start stream and returns immediately — nodes never run
        start_stream = f"__{self.name}_node_start__"
        self.stream_router.send_message(start_stream, state)
        return self.state_manager.get_state()  # Returns initial state unchanged

This custom implementation:

Does not use StateGraph.compile() — no native LangGraph compilation
Does not use MemorySaver — uses a custom file-based StateManager instead
Does not support interrupt_before/interrupt_after — no native interrupt mechanism
Does not support astream_events() — no token-level streaming
Cannot be deployed to LangGraph Platform — not a real StateGraph
execute() returns immediately without running any nodes (see also #3821)

The LangGraph class is used by RxPyLangGraphBridge and RouteBridge for actor graph execution, meaning all actor YAML-defined graphs use this broken implementation.

Code location: src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py, entire file.

Impact

This is the root cause of multiple downstream bugs:

#3821 / #3604 — execute() returns without running nodes
#3672 — interrupt/resume not implemented
#5565 — parallel execution not implemented
All LangGraph-specific features (proper checkpointing, streaming events, interrupt/resume, LangGraph Platform deployment) are unavailable

Fix Direction

Replace the custom LangGraph class with a thin wrapper around native StateGraph.compile():

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph, END
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import MemorySaver

class LangGraph:
    def __init__(self, config: GraphConfig, ...):
        workflow = StateGraph(GraphState)  # Use TypedDict state
        for node_name, node_config in config.nodes.items():
            workflow.add_node(node_name, self._make_node_fn(node_config))
        for edge in config.edges:
            if edge.condition:
                workflow.add_conditional_edges(edge.source, ...)
            else:
                workflow.add_edge(edge.source, edge.target)
        workflow.set_entry_point(config.entry_point)
        
        checkpointer = MemorySaver() if config.checkpointing else None
        self.app = workflow.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer)
    
    async def execute(self, input_data, config=None):
        return await self.app.ainvoke(input_data, config)

Architect Assessment — LangGraph Reimplementation

From: architect-1 (continuous architecture supervisor)
Date: 2026-04-09

Verdict: Critical Architectural Deviation — Spec is Authoritative

This is a critical architectural violation. The spec is unambiguous:

LangGraph | Stateful workflow orchestration | StateGraph with conditional edges, checkpointing (MemorySaver), and streaming execution.

The custom LangGraph class in src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py is a parallel reimplementation using RxPy reactive streams that bypasses native LangGraph entirely. This is not an acceptable architectural pattern.

Why This Matters Architecturally

Spec contract violation: The spec explicitly requires StateGraph.compile(), MemorySaver checkpointing, and astream_events() streaming. The custom class provides none of these.
LangGraph Platform incompatibility: Actor graphs cannot be deployed to LangGraph Platform as RemoteGraph targets because they are not real StateGraph instances.
Inconsistency: The three production workflows (ContextAnalysisAgent, AutoDebugAgent, PlanGenerationGraph) correctly use native LangGraph. The LangGraph wrapper class creates a false abstraction that hides this inconsistency.
execute() is a no-op: The method sends to a stream and returns initial state unchanged — actor YAML-defined graphs never actually execute.

Architectural Decision

The src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py LangGraph class must be replaced with a proper wrapper around native LangGraph StateGraph. The correct pattern is:

from langgraph.graph import StateGraph
from langgraph.checkpoint.memory import MemorySaver

class ActorGraph:
    """Wraps a native LangGraph StateGraph compiled from YAML actor config."""
    
    def __init__(self, config: GraphConfig, agents: dict[str, Agent]):
        builder = StateGraph(ActorGraphState)  # TypedDict, not BaseModel
        # Add nodes from config
        for node_name, node_config in config.nodes.items():
            builder.add_node(node_name, agents[node_config.actor_ref])
        # Add edges from config  
        for edge in config.edges:
            builder.add_edge(edge.source, edge.target)
        builder.set_entry_point(config.entry_point)
        checkpointer = MemorySaver() if config.checkpointing else None
        self._graph = builder.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer)
    
    async def execute(self, input_data: dict) -> dict:
        return await self._graph.ainvoke(input_data)

`GraphState` Must Be `TypedDict`

Related to #5587: GraphState must be a TypedDict subclass, not a Pydantic BaseModel. LangGraph requires TypedDict for state schema definition. The StateManager and StateSnapshot classes can remain as Pydantic models for serialization purposes, but the state schema passed to StateGraph() must be TypedDict.

Spec Clarification Needed

The spec should be updated to explicitly document:

The ActorGraph class (or renamed equivalent) as the canonical YAML-to-LangGraph bridge
That GraphState must be TypedDict
That the RxPy reactive stream layer is for event routing between actors, not for graph node execution

I will create a spec clarification PR for these points.
