This will be blocked in a future version'; with LANGGRAPH_STRICT_MSGPACK=true custom state objects silently co… ## Body Cause (Documented platform behavior): Security hardening against code execution from tampered checkpoint DBs: the msgpack ext hook checks (module, name) against SAFE_MSGPACK_TYPES / allowed_msgpack_modules. Permissive default allows and warns; strict mode returns the raw payload instead of constructing the object. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Treating the warning as harmless forever: the message states unregistered types will be blocked in a future version. Limitations: - The graph-level allowlist is derived from the state schema only when the checkpointer supports with_allowlist (source reading, not documented prose). Unknowns: - Which release will flip the default to strict Other error fragments: - This will be blocked in a future version. - Blocked deserialization of - not in allowed_msgpack_modules. - Checkpointer does not support with_allowlist; strict msgpack Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/blob/main/libs/checkpoint/langgraph/checkpoint/serde/jsonplus.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): JsonPlusSerializer: default permissive mode warns 'Deserializing unregistered type %s.%s from checkpoint. This will be blocked in a future version...'; strict mode logs 'Blocked deserialization of %s.%s - not in allowed_msgpack_modules' and returns the raw data instead of the object; LANGGRAPH_STRICT_MSGPACK=true enables strict mode. - https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/blob/main/libs/langgraph/langgraph/_internal/_serde.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Compiled graphs apply a curated/state-derived allowlist via checkpointer.with_allowlist when strict msgpack is enabled; checkpointers without with_allowlist get a warning and the allowlist is skipped.
