Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Related KFA/atlas records cover the Command(resume) variant and missing thread_id. Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/langchain-ai/docs/blob/main/src/oss/langgraph/errors/MISSING_CHECKPOINTER.mdx (official_docs, unknown, official_recommended_action): MISSING_CHECKPOINTER: using built-in persistence without a checkpointer in compile()/entrypoint; fix by initializing a checkpointer (InMemorySaver example) or using the LangGraph API which manages persistence. - https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/blob/main/libs/langgraph/langgraph/pregel/main.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): get_state/aget_state/get_state_history/bulk_update_state/update_state raise ValueError('No checkpointer set') when no checkpointer is configured.
