CI lint jobs use `uv run --all-groups` for all tools, but ruff doesn't
need dependency resolution — only mypy does. By splitting into
`UV_RUN_LINT` (ruff) and `UV_RUN_TYPE` (mypy), the CI-facing targets run
ruff with `--group lint` only, giving fast-fail feedback before mypy
triggers the full environment sync.
For packages where source code only conditionally imports heavy deps
(text-splitters, huggingface), `lint_package` also overrides
`UV_RUN_TYPE` to `--group lint --group typing`, skipping the ~3.5GB
`test_integration` download entirely. `lint_tests` keeps `--all-groups`
since test code legitimately imports those deps.
Additionally, `lint_imports.sh` was inconsistently wired — most packages
had the script but weren't calling it.
## Changes
**Makefile optimization**
- Introduce `UV_RUN_LINT` and `UV_RUN_TYPE` Make variables, both
defaulting to `uv run --all-groups`. For `lint_package` and
`lint_tests`, `UV_RUN_LINT` is overridden to `uv run --group lint` so
ruff runs instantly without syncing heavy deps
- For `text-splitters` and `huggingface`, override `UV_RUN_TYPE` on
`lint_package` to `uv run --group lint --group typing` — mypy runs
without downloading torch, CUDA, spacy, etc.
**mypy config for lean groups**
- Add `transformers` and `transformers.*` to `ignore_missing_imports` in
`text-splitters` pyproject.toml (conditional `try/except` import, same
treatment as existing `konlpy`/`nltk` entries)
- Add `torch`, `torch.*`, `langchain_community`, `langchain_community.*`
to `ignore_missing_imports` in `huggingface` pyproject.toml
- Add dual `# type: ignore[unreachable, unused-ignore]` in
`text-splitters/base.py` to handle the `PreTrainedTokenizerBase`
isinstance check that behaves differently depending on whether
transformers is installed
**lint_imports.sh consistency**
- Add `./scripts/lint_imports.sh` to the lint recipe in every package
that wasn't calling it (standard-tests, model-profiles, all 15
partners), and create the script for the two packages missing it
entirely (`model-profiles`, `openrouter`)
- Update all `lint_imports.sh` scripts to allow `from langchain.agents`
and `from langchain.tools` imports (legitimate v1 middleware
dependencies used by `langchain-anthropic` and `langchain-openai`)
- 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
**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.

- Refined phrasing and formatting in sections like "Dependency
management" and "Formatting and linting" for better readability.

including tips for specifying server ports and handling API reference
previews.

linting tools effectively.

#### API reference documentation:
- Improved instructions for generating and formatting in-code
documentation, highlighting best practices for docstring writing.

### Minor Changes:
- Added support for a new package name (`langchain_v1`) in the API
documentation generation script.
- Fixed minor capitalization and formatting issues in documentation
files.

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.
* Removed `ruff check --select I` as `I` is already selected and checked
in the main `ruff check` command
* Added checks for non-empty `PYTHON_FILES`
* Run `ruff check` only on `PYTHON_FILES`
