Change the `id` field from `default=None` to
`default_factory=lambda: str(uuid.uuid4())` so every message receives a
stable, unique id from birth rather than being id-less until a reducer
or `add_messages` assigns one.
## Motivation
LangGraph's `DeltaChannel` stores pending writes (the raw message
objects) as serialized blobs **before** `update()` is called. Any id
assigned inside the reducer (e.g. a random UUID in
`_messages_delta_reducer`) only exists in the in-memory channel state;
it never reaches the stored write. On checkpoint replay the same
id-less message gets a fresh random UUID, so an eviction/update Command
that references the runtime-assigned id cannot match the replayed
message — both the original and the update land in state as separate
messages.
The root fix is here: if messages already carry a stable id when they
are first constructed (before any serialization boundary), the stored
write and any subsequent Command that updates that message by id will
always agree on the id, making `DeltaChannel` replay fully correct.
## Breaking change
`HumanMessage(content="x") == HumanMessage(content="x")` is now
`False` because auto-assigned UUIDs differ. Previously both had
`id=None` and compared equal. Code that relies on content-based message
equality must be updated (compare `.content` / `.model_dump(exclude={'id'})`
directly, or set an explicit shared `id`).
129 unit tests in langchain-core fail; all are due to this equality
change. Options the team can consider:
- Fix tests to use explicit ids or field-level comparisons
- Override `BaseMessage.__eq__` to exclude `id` (preserves backward
compat for equality; DeltaChannel dedup uses id-keyed dict, not ==)
- Introduce a `__eq__` that only uses `id` when both sides have a
non-None id, otherwise falls back to content comparison
Explicitly passing `id=None` still produces a message with `id=None`
(default_factory is not invoked for explicitly-supplied values).

Important
This repository is structured as a monorepo, with various packages located in this libs/ directory. Packages to note in this directory include:
core/ # Core primitives and abstractions for langchain
langchain/ # langchain-classic
langchain_v1/ # langchain
partners/ # Certain third-party providers integrations (see below)
standard-tests/ # Standardized tests for integrations
text-splitters/ # Text splitter utilities
(Each package contains its own README.md file with specific details about that package.)
Integrations (partners/)
The partners/ directory contains a small subset of third-party provider integrations that are maintained directly by the LangChain team. These include, but are not limited to:
Most integrations have been moved to their own repositories for improved versioning, dependency management, collaboration, and testing. This includes packages from popular providers such as Google and AWS. Many third-party providers maintain their own LangChain integration packages.
