`LangSmithLoader.lazy_load()` now raises a `ValueError` with a descriptive message when a configured `content_key` cannot be resolved against an example's inputs — whether a key along the path is missing or the path runs into a non-mapping value. Previously the missing-key case raised a bare `KeyError` and the non-mapping case raised a `TypeError`, depending on the payload. Callers that caught `KeyError` or `TypeError` around `lazy_load()` to detect a misconfigured `content_key` should now catch `ValueError`. --- Improve `LangSmithLoader` error handling by surfacing clearer exceptions for conflicting client configuration and invalid nested `content_key` paths. Valid loader behavior is unchanged; this only improves invalid-input diagnostics. When a `content_key` cannot be resolved against an example's inputs, `lazy_load()` now raises a `ValueError` whose message names the full path, the offending key, and where traversal stopped — instead of a bare `KeyError` (missing key) or an opaque `TypeError` (path running into a non-mapping value, e.g. a leaf string). --------- Co-authored-by: Divy Yadav <yadavdipu296@gmai.com> Co-authored-by: Mason Daugherty <github@mdrxy.com> Co-authored-by: Mason Daugherty <mason@langchain.dev>

🤔 What is this?
LangChain Core contains the base abstractions that power the LangChain ecosystem.
These abstractions are designed to be as modular and simple as possible.
The benefit of having these abstractions is that any provider can implement the required interface and then easily be used in the rest of the LangChain ecosystem.
⛰️ Why build on top of LangChain Core?
The LangChain ecosystem is built on top of langchain-core. Some of the benefits:
- Modularity: We've designed Core around abstractions that are independent of each other, and not tied to any specific model provider.
- Stability: We are committed to a stable versioning scheme, and will communicate any breaking changes with advance notice and version bumps.
- Battle-tested: Core components have the largest install base in the LLM ecosystem, and are used in production by many companies.
