Cause (Documented platform behavior): The async saver captures its event loop during setup and only bridges sync calls from other threads.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Limitations:
- The InvalidStateError variant mirrors the already-recorded Postgres/SQLite async saver errors; the RuntimeError setup variant is Redis-specific.
Other error fragments:
- Synchronous calls to AsyncRedisSaver are only allowed from a different thread.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/redis-developer/langgraph-redis/32de20776e4dd4128b2c9eeafeea9742dc7a819b/langgraph/checkpoint/redis/aio.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Sync methods raise RuntimeError if loop not set and InvalidStateError when called on the saver loop thread.
Search phrasings: AsyncRedisSaver must be set up before calling synchronous methods; langgraph redis asetup async with saver

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- RuntimeError on first sync call; or InvalidStateError when sync method called on the event loop thread.
- Context
- Product: LangGraph Redis checkpointer (langgraph-checkpoint-redis) Component: AsyncRedisSaver / AsyncShallowRedisSaver sync bridge Operation: Calling graph.invoke / get_state (sync) with an async Redis saver that was never set up Affected versions: unknown Environment: unknown Exception: RuntimeError, asyncio.InvalidStateError Packages: langgraph-checkpoint-redis main at pinned SHA Trigger: Async saver created without asetup()/async with, then used through sync APIs; or sync call from within the running loop.

Proposed fix: [langgraph-checkpoint-redis] "AsyncRedisSaver must be set up before calling synchronous methods. Call `await saver.asetup()` or use `async with saver:` first."
Recommended action: Use `async with AsyncRedisSaver.from_conn_string(url) as saver:` (or await asetup()) and call ainvoke/aget_state in async code; use RedisSaver for sync code.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
