Package-version trace metadata now uses the LangChain-owned
`metadata["lc_versions"]` convention instead of the user-owned
`metadata["versions"]` key. Metadata merging is narrowed so only
`lc_versions` accumulates nested package-version entries, while generic
nested metadata keeps normal last-writer-wins behavior.
## Changes
- Renamed `BaseLanguageModel._add_version()` trace metadata from
`versions` to `lc_versions`, including docstrings and the non-dict
replacement warning.
- Scoped `_merge_metadata_dicts()` nested-map accumulation to only
`lc_versions`; duplicate package entries remain last-writer-wins and
`lc_versions` mappings are copied defensively.
- Preserved user-owned `metadata["versions"]` semantics by keeping it
out of package-version tracking and generic nested metadata merging.
- Updated runnable snapshots and partner package metadata assertions
across Anthropic, DeepSeek, Fireworks, Groq, Hugging Face, MistralAI,
Ollama, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Perplexity, and xAI to expect `lc_versions`.
## Testing
- Added/adjusted core tests for `lc_versions` accumulation, duplicate
package overwrite behavior, non-dict `lc_versions` replacement,
defensive copying, and `metadata["versions"]` last-writer-wins behavior.
- Ran focused core and partner metadata tests plus Ruff checks for
changed areas.

## Summary
Surface partner package versions in `metadata.versions` on LangSmith
traces. Mirrors the JS SDK's `_addVersion()` pattern
([langchainjs#10106](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchainjs/pull/10106)).
Each model constructor records its package version via `_add_version()`
on `BaseLanguageModel`. The version dict accumulates through the class
hierarchy — `langchain-core` is added in
`BaseLanguageModel.model_post_init`, `langchain-openai` in
`BaseChatOpenAI._set_openai_chat_version`, and each leaf partner in its
uniquely-named `model_validator`. Traces end up with:
```json
{
"metadata": {
"versions": {
"langchain-core": "1.4.5",
"langchain-openai": "1.3.0",
"langchain-xai": "1.2.2"
}
}
}
```
### Changes
- `BaseLanguageModel._add_version(pkg, version)` — appends to
`self.metadata["versions"]`; accepts any `Mapping` type; emits a warning
if a non-mapping value is found and replaced
- `BaseLanguageModel.model_post_init` — adds `langchain-core` version;
calls `super()` for MRO safety
- `_merge_metadata_dicts` — one-level-deep (non-recursive) merge for
nested dict metadata keys
- `CallbackManager.add_metadata` — uses `_merge_metadata_dicts` instead
of flat `dict.update()` so nested metadata dicts (like `versions`)
coexist rather than clobber
- `merge_configs` — uses `_merge_metadata_dicts` for config merging
**Partners:**
- Each now calls `self._add_version("langchain-<pkg>", __version__)`
### Design decisions
- **Constructor-based, not `_get_ls_params`-based** — versions flow
through `self.metadata` (local metadata on traces), not through
`LangSmithParams`. This matches JS and makes child-class version
inheritance automatic (no merge/clobber issues).
- **`versions` is local (non-inheritable) metadata** — `self.metadata`
is passed to `CallbackManager.configure` as `local_metadata`
(`add_metadata(..., inherit=False)`), so `versions` is attached **once
per chat-model run** and is **not** propagated to child runs or
duplicated onto every streaming chunk. This is intentionally the
opposite of the inheritable-per-chunk metadata that #36588 was reducing
for performance — `versions` does not regress that path.
- **`add_metadata` deep-merge is a correctness fix, not just for
versions** — previously `add_metadata`/`merge_configs` did a flat
top-level `dict.update`/spread, so any nested metadata dict baked into a
config (e.g. via `.with_config({"metadata": {...}})`) would be wholly
replaced when a caller also passed `metadata`. `_merge_metadata_dicts`
merges one level deep so user-provided `config.metadata.versions` and
model-set `versions` coexist instead of clobbering. The merge runs once
per `configure` (not per chunk), so it is off the streaming hot path.
- **One level deep only** — `_merge_metadata_dicts` is deliberately
*not* a recursive deep merge; values nested more than one level are
last-writer-wins. This covers the `versions` case without the
ambiguity/cost of arbitrary-depth merging.
- **Warn on non-dict `metadata["versions"]`** — if a user sets
`metadata={"versions": "some-string"}`, `_add_version` emits a warning
and replaces the value with the version dict rather than silently
discarding user data or crashing. This is a soft breaking change for
anyone who previously stored non-dict values at this key.
### Follow-ups (tracked separately, out of scope here)
- JS `mergeConfigs` still flat-spreads nested metadata, so
`metadata.versions` can still clobber on the JS side until an equivalent
deep-merge lands.

## Summary
- Fixes [CodeQL alert
#43](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/security/code-scanning/43)
(CWE-20: incomplete URL substring sanitization)
- Replaces `"azure.com" in url` substring check with `urlparse`-based
hostname validation to prevent bypass via crafted URLs (e.g.,
`https://evil-azure.com`, `https://example.com/azure.com`)
- Adds bypass-attempt test cases to the existing Azure endpoint
detection tests
## Why
The substring check `"azure.com" in url` matches URLs where `azure.com`
appears anywhere in the string, not just in the hostname. An
attacker-controlled endpoint like `https://evil-azure.com` or
`https://example.com/azure.com` would incorrectly trigger the Azure code
path. Using `urlparse` to extract and validate the hostname is the
standard fix per CodeQL guidance.
## Test plan
- [x] Existing Azure endpoint detection tests pass
- [x] New negative test cases for bypass attempts pass
- [x] `uv run pytest tests/unit_tests/test_chat_models.py -k azure` —
6/6 passing

**Description:** This PR adds support for DeepSeek's beta strict mode
feature for structured
outputs and tool calling. It overrides `bind_tools()` and
`with_structured_output()` to automatically use
DeepSeek's beta endpoint (https://api.deepseek.com/beta) when
`strict=True`. Both methods need overriding because they're independent
entry points and user can call either directly. When DeepSeek's strict
mode graduates from beta, we can just remove both overriden methods. You
can read more about the beta feature here:
https://api-docs.deepseek.com/guides/function_calling#strict-mode-beta
**Issue:** Implements #32670
**Dependencies:** None
**Sample Code**
```python
from langchain_deepseek import ChatDeepSeek
from pydantic import BaseModel, Field
from typing import Optional
import os
# Enter your DeepSeek API Key here
API_KEY = "YOUR_API_KEY"
# location, temperature, condition are required fields
# humidity is optional field with default value
class WeatherInfo(BaseModel):
location: str = Field(description="City name")
temperature: int = Field(description="Temperature in Celsius")
condition: str = Field(description="Weather condition (sunny, cloudy, rainy)")
humidity: Optional[int] = Field(default=None, description="Humidity percentage")
llm = ChatDeepSeek(
model="deepseek-chat",
api_key=API_KEY,
)
# just to confirm that a new instance will use the default base url (instead of beta)
print(f"Default API base: {llm.api_base}")
# Test 1: bind_tools with strict=True shoud list all the tools calls
print("\nTest 1: bind_tools with strict=True")
llm_with_tools = llm.bind_tools([WeatherInfo], strict=True)
response = llm_with_tools.invoke("Tell me the weather in New York. It's 22 degrees, sunny.")
print(response.tool_calls)
# Test 2: with_structured_output with strict=True
print("\nTest 2: with_structured_output with strict=True")
structured_llm = llm.with_structured_output(WeatherInfo, strict=True)
result = structured_llm.invoke("Tell me the weather in New York.")
print(f" Result: {result}")
assert isinstance(result, WeatherInfo), "Result should be a WeatherInfo instance"

- Removes Codespell from deps, docs, and `Makefile`s
- Python version requirements in all `pyproject.toml` files now use the
`~=` (compatible release) specifier
- All dependency groups and main dependencies now use explicit lower and
upper bounds, reducing potential for breaking changes
## Description
When ChatDeepSeek invokes a tool that returns a list, it results in an
openai.UnprocessableEntityError due to a failure in deserializing the
JSON body.
The root of the problem is that ChatDeepSeek uses BaseChatOpenAI
internally, but the APIs are not identical: OpenAI v1/chat/completions
accepts arrays as tool results, but Deepseek API does not.
As a solution added `_get_request_payload` method to ChatDeepSeek, which
inherits the behavior from BaseChatOpenAI but adds a step to stringify
tool message content in case the content is an array. I also add a unit
test for this.
From the linked issue you can find the full reproducible example the
reporter of the issue provided. After the changes it works as expected.

Deepseek model does not return reasoning when hosted on openrouter
(Issue [30067](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langchain/issues/30067))
the following code did not return reasoning:
```python
llm = ChatDeepSeek( model = 'deepseek/deepseek-r1:nitro', api_base="https://openrouter.ai/api/v1", api_key=os.getenv("OPENROUTER_API_KEY"))
messages = [
{"role": "system", "content": "You are an assistant."},
{"role": "user", "content": "9.11 and 9.8, which is greater? Explain the reasoning behind this decision."}
]
response = llm.invoke(messages, extra_body={"include_reasoning": True})
print(response.content)
print(f"REASONING: {response.additional_kwargs.get('reasoning_content', '')}")
print(response)
```
The fix is to extract reasoning from
response.choices[0].message["model_extra"] and from
choices[0].delta["reasoning"]. and place in response additional_kwargs.
Change is really just the addition of a couple one-sentence if
statements.

1. Make `_convert_chunk_to_generation_chunk` an instance method on
BaseChatOpenAI
2. Override on ChatDeepSeek to add `"reasoning_content"` to message
additional_kwargs.
