Commit Message: fix(langgraph): use update_state() in LangGraph.execute() instead of direct state assignment
Branch: bugfix/m3-langgraph-execute-state-bypass

Background and context

LangGraph.execute() in src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py directly assigns self.state_manager.state = state (line 86) instead of going through StateManager.update_state(). This bypasses the is_closed guard that StateManager enforces on all its public mutation methods.

Current behavior

StateManager has an is_closed flag and raises RuntimeError("StateManager is closed") in update_state(), load_checkpoint(), time_travel(), and reset() when closed. However, LangGraph.execute() bypasses all of these guards by directly assigning to the state attribute:

Code snippet showing the bug (src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py, lines 79–91):

async def execute(self, input_data: GraphState | dict[str, Any]) -> GraphState:
    state = (
        input_data
        if isinstance(input_data, GraphState)
        else GraphState.from_dict(cast(dict[str, Any], input_data))
    )
    # Replace state manager state for a fresh execution context
    self.state_manager.state = state          # ← Direct assignment bypasses is_closed check
    self.state_manager.state_stream.on_next(state)
    ...

If StateManager.close() has been called (e.g., during cleanup), execute() will silently succeed in replacing the state and emitting on a completed BehaviorSubject, corrupting the state and potentially causing downstream errors in RxPY subscribers.

Expected behavior

LangGraph.execute() should check whether the StateManager is closed before attempting to replace state, and should raise an appropriate error if it is. Alternatively, it should use a dedicated StateManager method that enforces the is_closed guard.

Acceptance criteria

Calling LangGraph.execute() after StateManager.close() raises RuntimeError (or a subclass) rather than silently succeeding.
The is_closed guard is not bypassed by any code path in LangGraph.

Supporting information

File: src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py
Line: 86 (self.state_manager.state = state)
Related: src/cleveragents/langgraph/state.py lines 115–116 (the is_closed guard in update_state)
Fix: Add a StateManager.replace_state(state) method that checks is_closed, or add the check directly in LangGraph.execute().

Subtasks

Add is_closed check in LangGraph.execute() before assigning state (or add StateManager.replace_state() method with the guard)
Ensure state_stream.on_next() is also guarded (do not emit on a completed subject)
Tests (Behave): Add scenario verifying execute() raises after StateManager.close()
Verify coverage ≥97% via nox -s coverage_report
Run nox (all default sessions), fix any errors

✅ Verified — Must-Have | v3.4.0

This is a confirmed critical bug. LangGraph.execute() bypasses the is_closed guard in StateManager by directly assigning to state_manager.state, which can silently corrupt state after StateManager.close() has been called.

MoSCoW: Must-Have — This is a stability/correctness issue that can cause silent data corruption and downstream errors in RxPY subscribers. It must be fixed before v3.4.0 ships.

Milestone: v3.4.0 — Assigned to the current active milestone as a critical stability fix.

🔍 Triage Decision — Verified ✅

Decision: Verified | MoSCoW: Must Have | Priority: Critical

This is a confirmed critical bug. LangGraph.execute() directly assigns self.state_manager.state = state (line 86 of src/cleveragents/langgraph/graph.py), bypassing the is_closed guard that StateManager.update_state() enforces. If StateManager.close() has been called, execute() will silently corrupt state and emit on a completed BehaviorSubject, causing undefined downstream behavior in RxPY subscribers.

Rationale:

The bypass is clearly documented with line-level evidence
Silent state corruption after close is a correctness bug, not just a style issue
The is_closed guard exists precisely to prevent this class of error
Classified as Must Have: this is a safety-critical correctness fix
Milestone moved to v3.2.0 — this fix should ship as soon as possible given the severity

Next steps: Add StateManager.replace_state(state) with an is_closed check, or add the guard directly in LangGraph.execute(). Also guard state_stream.on_next() to avoid emitting on a completed subject. Add a Behave scenario verifying execute() raises after StateManager.close().

Implementation Attempt — Tier 1: Haiku — Success

Fixed LangGraph.execute() to check is_closed before assigning state, raising RuntimeError("StateManager is closed") if the StateManager is closed. Also added guard around state_stream.on_next() to prevent emitting on a completed BehaviorSubject.

Added Behave BDD tests:

features/tdd_langgraph_execute_closed_state.feature with 2 scenarios
features/steps/tdd_langgraph_execute_closed_state_steps.py with step definitions

All quality gates passing (lint ✓, typecheck ✓, unit_tests ✓).
