Christophe Bornet 62f255980d chore(core): add mypy warn_unreachable (#38109)
Enables mypy's `warn_unreachable` rule for `langchain-core`, bringing it
in line with the other strict libraries in the monorepo. Previously this
rule was intentionally disabled by a code comment, because under mypy
2.x it false-flags intentional defensive runtime checks — most notably
the SSRF / IP-policy guards in `langchain_core/_security/` — as
unreachable.

This PR resolves all of those warnings without deleting or
blanket-ignoring the defensive guards, so contributors get
unreachable-code coverage going forward and accidental dead code is
caught in CI.

The bulk of the change is mechanical: a targeted `# type:
ignore[unreachable]` on each defensive `else`/error branch that mypy
considers unreachable but that we deliberately keep as a runtime guard
against unexpected input. A few changes are more substantive and worth a
closer look:

- **`coro_with_context` (`runnables/utils.py`) — behavior change on
Python < 3.11.** The pre-3.11 path is rewritten to always route through
`context.run(asyncio.create_task, coro)`, so the supplied context is
reliably propagated to the task. Previously, on 3.10 the helper returned
the bare coroutine (run in the caller's context) when
`create_task=False`, and dropped the context entirely when
`create_task=True`. The new behavior matches 3.11+. The `create_task`
parameter is now inert but retained for signature compatibility. All
callers `await` the result, so returning a `Task` rather than a
coroutine is transparent.
- **`_create_template_from_message_type` (`prompts/chat.py`) — signature
widening.** This private helper's `template` parameter now accepts
`bool` inside the list, accurately reflecting the existing `["{var}",
is_optional]` placeholder form. No public-API impact.
- **`PydanticOutputFunctionsParser`
(`output_parsers/openai_functions.py`).** The `pydantic_schema` field is
typed as `TypeBaseModel` (which covers both v1 and v2 model classes,
unlike the prior annotation), and the `args_only` parse path now
dispatches explicitly on `BaseModel` vs `BaseModelV1` rather than
duck-typing via `hasattr`. This also yields clearer errors for
unsupported / dict schemas.
- **`_security/_policy.py`.** Loop variables are renamed so mypy can
narrow their types, which lets the old `# type: ignore[assignment]`
comments be dropped. The IP-blocklist logic is unchanged.

The agent engineering platform.

LangChain is a framework for building agents and LLM-powered applications. It helps you chain together interoperable components and third-party integrations to simplify AI application development — all while future-proofing decisions as the underlying technology evolves.

Tip

Just getting started? Check out Deep Agents — a higher-level package built on LangChain for agents that have built-in capabilites for common usage patterns such as planning, subagents, file system usage, and more.

Quickstart

uv add langchain
from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model

model = init_chat_model("openai:gpt-5.5")
result = model.invoke("Hello, world!")

If you're looking for more advanced customization or agent orchestration, check out LangGraph, our framework for building controllable agent workflows.

For an equivalent JS/TS library, check out LangChain.js.

Tip

For developing, debugging, and deploying AI agents and LLM applications, see LangSmith.

LangChain ecosystem

While the LangChain framework can be used standalone, it also integrates seamlessly with any LangChain product, giving developers a full suite of tools when building LLM applications.

  • Deep Agents — Build agents that can plan, use subagents, and leverage file systems for complex tasks
  • LangGraph — Build agents that can reliably handle complex tasks with our low-level agent orchestration framework
  • Integrations — Chat & embedding models, tools & toolkits, and more
  • LangSmith — Agent evals, observability, and debugging for LLM apps
  • LangSmith Deployment — Deploy and scale agents with a purpose-built platform for long-running, stateful workflows

Why use LangChain?

LangChain helps developers build applications powered by LLMs through a standard interface for models, embeddings, vector stores, and more.

  • Real-time data augmentation — Easily connect LLMs to diverse data sources and external/internal systems, drawing from LangChain's vast library of integrations with model providers, tools, vector stores, retrievers, and more
  • Model interoperability — Swap models in and out as your engineering team experiments to find the best choice for your application's needs. As the industry frontier evolves, adapt quickly — LangChain's abstractions keep you moving without losing momentum
  • Rapid prototyping — Quickly build and iterate on LLM applications with LangChain's modular, component-based architecture. Test different approaches and workflows without rebuilding from scratch, accelerating your development cycle
  • Production-ready features — Deploy reliable applications with built-in support for monitoring, evaluation, and debugging through integrations like LangSmith. Scale with confidence using battle-tested patterns and best practices
  • Vibrant community and ecosystem — Leverage a rich ecosystem of integrations, templates, and community-contributed components. Benefit from continuous improvements and stay up-to-date with the latest AI developments through an active open-source community
  • Flexible abstraction layers — Work at the level of abstraction that suits your needs — from high-level chains for quick starts to low-level components for fine-grained control. LangChain grows with your application's complexity
