## Title

    [LangGraph] ValueError: Checkpointer requires one or more of the following 'configurable' keys: thread_id, checkpoint_ns, checkpoint_id

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): When a checkpointer is set and config has no 'configurable' dict, Pregel raises this ValueError; a thread_id is needed to address persisted state.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Unknowns:
    - Issue #5385 reports a variant listing '[]' after upgrading langgraph-checkpoint 2.0.26 -> 2.1.0; no maintainer diagnosis seen in the fetched page.
    
    Other error fragments:
    - ValueError: Checkpointer requires one or more of the following 'configurable' keys: []
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/main/libs/langgraph/langgraph/pregel/main.py (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): Pregel raises ValueError('Checkpointer requires one or more of the following configurable keys: thread_id, checkpoint_ns, checkpoint_id') when a checkpointer is set and config lacks 'configurable'.
    - https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/5385 (github_issue, 2025-07-07, reported_symptom): Upgrade of langgraph-checkpoint 2.0.26 to 2.1.0 produced the '[]' variant with MemorySaver in a ReAct agent; no diagnosis recorded.
    
    Search phrasings: langgraph MemorySaver thread_id required error; Checkpointer requires configurable keys thread_id; langgraph invoke without thread_id checkpointer
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
