Cause (Documented platform behavior): The event needs the parent run id from the callback manager in config; on Python 3.10 async the config is not automatically propagated through contextvars, so parent_run_id is None.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- Rendered message lacks spaces between sentences because source string literals are concatenated without separators.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/langchain-ai/langchain/1ef23d6b7f6d83508a8cb531feeb88860e4dec40/libs/core/langchain_core/callbacks/manager.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): adispatch_custom_event raises RuntimeError when parent_run_id is None; docstring says on Python 3.10 with async you must pass config because asyncio in 3.10 cannot propagate the config automatically.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Custom streaming events from tools/nodes fail with RuntimeError instead of appearing in astream_events.
- Context
- Product: LangChain Component: langchain_core.callbacks.manager.adispatch_custom_event / dispatch_custom_event Operation: await adispatch_custom_event(name, data) inside a tool / RunnableLambda / LangGraph node Affected versions: unknown Environment: Python 3.10 (asyncio contextvars limitation) or calls outside a run Exception: RuntimeError Packages: langchain-core source checked at 1.6.5 Trigger: Calling (a)dispatch_custom_event outside a running Runnable, or in async code on Python 3.10 without passing config.

Proposed fix: [langchain-core] RuntimeError "Unable to dispatch an adhoc event without a parent run id" from adispatch_custom_event on Python 3.10 async (config not propagated)
Recommended action: Accept config: RunnableConfig in the tool/node and pass config=config to adispatch_custom_event, or upgrade to Python 3.11+.
Option: Pass config explicitly [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: Python 3.10 async tools/nodes
Steps:
1. def my_node(state, config: RunnableConfig): ...
2. await adispatch_custom_event("progress", data, config=config)
Expected: Event dispatched under the parent run
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
