**TL;DR much of the provided `Makefile` targets were broken, and any
time I wanted to preview changes locally I either had to refer to a
command Chester gave me or try waiting on a Vercel preview deployment.
With this PR, everything should behave like normal.**
Significant updates to the `Makefile` and documentation files, focusing
on improving usability, adding clear messaging, and fixing/enhancing
documentation workflows.
### Updates to `Makefile`:
#### Enhanced build and cleaning processes:
- Added informative messages (e.g., "📚 Building LangChain
documentation...") to makefile targets like `docs_build`, `docs_clean`,
and `api_docs_build` for better user feedback during execution.
- Introduced a `clean-cache` target to the `docs` `Makefile` to clear
cached dependencies and ensure clean builds.
#### Improved dependency handling:
- Modified `install-py-deps` to create a `.venv/deps_installed` marker,
preventing redundant/duplicate dependency installations and improving
efficiency.
#### Streamlined file generation and infrastructure setup:
- Added caching for the LangServe README download and parallelized
feature table generation
- Added user-friendly completion messages for targets like `copy-infra`
and `render`.
#### Documentation server updates:
- Enhanced the `start` target with messages indicating server start and
URL for local documentation viewing.
---
### Documentation Improvements:
#### Content clarity and consistency:
- Standardized section titles for consistency across documentation
files.

## 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.

Follow up to https://github.com/langchain-ai/langsmith-sdk/pull/1696,
I've bumped the `langsmith` version where applicable in `uv.lock`.
Type checking problems here because deps have been updated in
`pyproject.toml` and `uv lock` hasn't been run - we should enforce that
in the future - goes with the other dependabot todos :).
Thank you for contributing to LangChain!

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.

For Context please check #29626
The Deepseek is using langchain_openai. The error happens that it show
`json decode error`.
I added a handler for this to give a more sensible error message which
is DeepSeek API returned empty/invalid json.
Reproducing the issue is a bit challenging as it is inconsistent,
sometimes DeepSeek returns valid data and in other times it returns
invalid data which triggers the JSON Decode Error.
This PR is an exception handling, but not an ultimate fix for the issue.

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

These are set in Github workflows, but forgot to add them to most
makefiles for convenience when developing locally.
`uv run` will automatically sync the lock file. Because many of our
development dependencies are local installs, it will pick up version
changes and update the lock file. Passing `--frozen` or setting this
environment variable disables the behavior.
