**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
**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.

#### Enhanced workflows:
- Updated instructions for building and viewing documentation locally,
including tips for specifying server ports and handling API reference
previews.

- Expanded guidance on cleaning documentation artifacts and using
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.

## 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.
