Dependabot has been stripping upper/lower bounds from internal `langchain-*` deps in partner `pyproject.toml` files (e.g. #37288 reduced `langchain-core>=1.3.2,<2.0.0` to bare `langchain-core`). Locks down the config so bumps preserve existing specifiers, and restores the bounds it already mangled across the monorepo. ## Changes - Add `versioning-strategy: increase` to every `uv` ecosystem block in `.github/dependabot.yml` so future bumps move the lower bound in place instead of rewriting the constraint. - Ignore workspace-internal packages (`langchain-core`, `langchain`, `langchain-classic`, `langchain-text-splitters`, `langchain-tests`, `langchain-model-profiles`) on every `uv` block — these are editable installs from local paths and their published constraints are hand-curated for release, not Dependabot's to bump. - Restore stripped bounds across all `libs/` packages — runtime `dependencies` and every dep group (`test`, `dev`, `test_integration`, `typing`, `lint`) — to `>=1.4.0,<2.0.0` for `langchain-core` and `>=1.0.0,<2.0.0` for the other internal packages.

Quick Install
pip install langchain-core
🤔 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.
