Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Using unsafe=True everywhere: it disables all deserialization safety checks. Limitations: - The allowlist error is built from several f-string literals in source; exact_errors are line fragments. Other error fragments: - trusted-module allowlist. If you trust the source of this serialized data, you can either: - Refusing to deserialize unknown parameter Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/MIGRATION.md (official_docs, unknown, official_recommended_action): MIGRATION.md: Pipeline.load/loads/from_dict refuse imports outside the trusted-module allowlist and raise DeserializationError; default_from_dict rejects nested typed dicts for unknown init params; four ways to extend (allowed_modules, unsafe=True, allow_deserialization_module, HAYSTACK_DESERIALIZATION_ALLOWLIST). - https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/core/serialization_security.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Error text: 'Refusing to deserialize a class from module '': the module is not on the trusted-module allowlist. If you trust the source ... extend the allowlist for this call: Pipeline.load(..., allowed_modules=[...])...'. - https://github.com/deepset-ai/haystack/blob/main/haystack/core/serialization.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): default_from_dict raises 'Refusing to deserialize unknown parameter '' for ''.
