asyncio.create_task only accepts a context argument from Python 3.11, so on older versions the config and callbacks are not visible inside async tasks.\n\nFix status: documented_behavior\n\nWorkaround (not a fix): Pass config/writer explicitly; use sync stream() instead of astream_events.\n\nMisleading approaches:\n- Passing StreamWriter explicitly still raised 'Called get_config outside of a runnable context' in one Python 3.9.17 report (stream_writer internally calls get_config)\n\nLimitations:\n- Python 3.9 explicit-writer failure is a pending bug report, not confirmed\n\nUnknowns:\n- Whether the Python 3.9 explicit-writer path was fixed\n\nOther error fragments:\n- RuntimeError: Called get_configurable outside of a runnable context\n\nEvidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):\n- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/docs/main/src/oss/langgraph/streaming.mdx (official_docs, 2026-09-27, documented_behavior): Docs: in Python < 3.11 asyncio tasks don't support the context parameter, so you must pass RunnableConfig into async LLM calls and cannot use get_stream_writer in async nodes/tools; pass a writer argument instead or upgrade to 3.11+.\n- https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/5927 (github_issue, 2025-08-18, reported_symptom): On Python 3.9.17 an async node with an explicit StreamWriter and stream_mode='custom' still fails with 'Called get_config outside of a runnable context' from pregel stream_writer.\n- https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/2942 (github_issue, 2025-01-07, reported_symptom): Python 3.10.14: interrupt() inside a node under astream_events raises 'Called get_configurable outside of a runnable context';
