Two unrelated nightly-CI failures rooted in upstream API drift. OpenAI
retired `gpt-4o-audio-preview` (now 404) and Azure embedding deployments
running `text-embedding-3-*` with truncated `dimensions` no longer
return unit-norm vectors.
CVE-2025-71176 (medium severity)
All are dev-only (test dependency group) — no impact on published
packages.
### Why syrupy was also bumped
syrupy 4.x (`<5.0.0`) constrains pytest to `<9.0.0`, blocking the CVE
fix. Widening to `<6.0.0` allows syrupy 5.x which supports pytest 9.x.
Fix broken VCR cassette playback in `langchain-openai` integration tests
and add a CI job to prevent regressions. Two independent bugs made all
VCR-backed tests fail: `before_record_request` redacts URIs to
`**REDACTED**` but `match_on` still included `uri` (so playback never
matched), and a typo-fix commit (`c9f51aef85`) changed test input
strings without re-recording cassettes (so `json_body` matching also
failed).
During an automated code review of .github/scripts/get_min_versions.py,
the following issue was identified. Set a timeout on get min versions
HTTP calls. Network calls without a timeout can hang a worker
indefinitely. I kept the patch small and re-ran syntax checks after
applying it.
Issues with combining flex and nano

Removed:
- `libs/core/langchain_core/chat_history.py`: `add_user_message` and
`add_ai_message` in favor of `add_messages` and `aadd_messages`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/language_models/base.py`: `predict`,
`predict_messages`, and async versions in favor of `invoke`. removed
`_all_required_field_names` since it was a wrapper on
`get_pydantic_field_names`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/language_models/chat_models.py`:
`callback_manager` param in favor of `callbacks`. `__call__` and
`call_as_llm` method in favor of `invoke`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/language_models/llms.py`: `callback_manager`
param in favor of `callbacks`. `__call__`, `predict`, `apredict`, and
`apredict_messages` methods in favor of `invoke`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/prompts/chat.py`: `from_role_strings` and
`from_strings` in favor of `from_messages`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/prompts/pipeline.py`: removed
`PipelinePromptTemplate`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/prompts/prompt.py`: `input_variables` param
on `from_file` as it wasn't used
- `libs/core/langchain_core/tools/base.py`: `callback_manager` param in
favor of `callbacks`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/tracers/context.py`: `tracing_enabled` in
favor of `tracing_enabled_v2`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/tracers/langchain_v1.py`: entire module
- `libs/core/langchain_core/utils/loading.py`: entire module,
`try_load_from_hub`
- `libs/core/langchain_core/vectorstores/in_memory.py`: `upsert` in
favor of `add_documents`
- `libs/standard-tests/langchain_tests/integration_tests/chat_models.py`
and `libs/standard-tests/langchain_tests/unit_tests/chat_models.py`:
`tool_choice_value` as models should accept `tool_choice="any"`
- `langchain` will consequently no longer expose these items if it was
previously
