Cause (Documented platform behavior): Resume requires persisted state (checkpointer + thread_id); with >1 pending interrupts, a plain resume value is ambiguous and must be a map keyed by interrupt id.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Older langgraph (0.3.x) had a regression where parallel interrupts had to be resumed sequentially (#4028, closed via PR #4406).
Other error fragments:
- When there are multiple pending interrupts, you must specify the interrupt id when resuming.
- Received empty Command input
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/main/libs/langgraph/langgraph/pregel/_loop.py (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): _loop.py raises RuntimeError without checkpointer and when multiple pending interrupts exist without an id map; EmptyInputError for empty Command.
- https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/4028 (github_issue, 2025-03-26, reported_symptom): Regression in 0.3.14 forced sequential resumption of parallel subgraph interrupts; closed referencing PR #4406.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Resuming an interrupted graph fails immediately.
- Context
- Product: LangGraph Component: Pregel loop resume handling (interrupt / Command) Operation: graph.invoke(Command(resume=value), config) for human-in-the-loop Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: RuntimeError, langgraph.errors.EmptyInputError Packages: langgraph 1.x (main source) Trigger: (a) graph compiled without a checkpointer; (b) parallel nodes/subgraphs raised several interrupt() calls and resume passes a single scalar value.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [LangGraph] RuntimeError: Cannot use Command(resume=...) without checkpointer / multiple pending interrupts require interrupt id
Recommended action: Compile with a checkpointer and pass the same thread_id; for multiple interrupts resume with Command(resume={interrupt.id: value, ...}) using ids from the interrupt payloads/state.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
