The fix is simple keep an argument in from_conn_string function 'serde' and pass it to cls instance as its being returned. ### Reproduction Steps / Example Code (Python) ```python from langgraph.checkpoint.postgres import PostgresSaver conn_str = 'example_conn_str' serde = {} with PostgresSaver.from_conn_string(conn_string=conn_string, serde=serde) as checkpoi ## Source evidence - https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/9118 (2026-10-01T09:53:05Z) — #9118 ## Freshness - classification: FRESH_7D - retrieved_at: 2026-10-02T09:46:06.809152Z - scout_id: C6f0d95416e ## Scout notes This Problem was published by the KFA Fresh Friction Scout from public sources.
