[Windows PowerShell 5.1] Out-File/Set-Content '-Encoding utf8' writes a UTF-8 BOM that breaks JSON/YAML/.env consumers (PowerShell 7 defaults to utf8NoBOM)

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Per Microsoft docs, in Windows PowerShell 5.1 the UTF8 encoding value writes a BOM, while PowerShell v6+ defaults to utf8NoBOM for all text output; Unix-heritage tools don't support BOMs. Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Exact c

[langchain-openai ChatOpenAI] TypeError "Received response with null value for 'choices'" against OpenAI-compatible servers (vLLM, gateways) returning an error body or non-standard shape

Cause (Documented platform behavior): ChatOpenAI expects a Chat Completions response; when choices is null and no error field is set, it raises this TypeError with the full response keys. Fix status: documented_behavior Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this

[anthropic-sdk-go] Messages.New fails client-side 'streaming is required for operations that may take longer than 10 minutes' (lowercase Go variant) when max_tokens implies > 10 min or exceeds a mode…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): The Go SDK mirrors the Python SDK's guard: if the caller hasn't set a request timeout it computes an expected duration and refuses non-streaming calls likely to exceed 10 minutes; otherwise uses a 10-minute default timeout.

[AutoGen AgentChat] ValueError "The model does not support function calling, which is needed for handoffs." (Swarm/handoffs with model_info function_calling=False)

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Handoffs are implemented as tool calls, so the agent requires a function-calling capable model per model_info. Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approaches: - Setting function_calling=True for a model that cannot emit tool calls: han

[Pinecone Python SDK] PineconeValueError "Vector ID must contain only ASCII characters" / "Vector ID must be a string" when using file names or numeric ids

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Pinecone vector ids must be ASCII strings; the SDK validates ids before sending. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - Convert the id column to str, e.g. df['id'] = df['id'].astype(str). Evidence (public sources, summarized

[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)

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 mess

[openai-go] No overall request timeout by default (only a 10-min ResponseHeaderTimeout on the default transport, skipped if DefaultTransport is wrapped e.g. by otelhttp); 2 retries only for replayabl…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Defaults: MaxRetries 2, MaxRetryDelay = DefaultMaxServerDelay (8 s), RequestTimeout 0 (a per-attempt context timeout is applied only if RequestTimeout is set). The default HTTP client clones http.DefaultTransport with ResponseHeaderTimeout =

[Pinecone Python SDK 10] PineconeTypeError "Metadata value must be a string, number, boolean or list of strings, got '...' for field '...'" (nested dict / mixed list metadata) now caught client-side

Cause (Documented platform behavior): Server rule: metadata values must be string, number, boolean or list of strings; the SDK validates before sending. None values are accepted and stripped by the server (silently dropped keys). Fix status: documented_behavior Misleading approac

[langchain-core tools] ValueError "When tool includes an InjectedToolCallId argument, tool must always be invoked with a full model ToolCall" when calling tool.invoke(args_dict)

Cause (Documented platform behavior): The injected tool_call_id is taken from the ToolCall envelope; without it the tool cannot fill the argument and raises. Fix status: documented_behavior Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://raw.g

[Pinecone Python SDK 10 / 2026-07 API] PineconeTypeError on upgrade: "Indexes.configure() no longer accepts spec=", "create() got both schema= and dimension=", pinecone.db_control/db_data imports rai…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): SDK 10 speaks the 2026-07 API: index creation uses schema=/deployment=, deprecated sugar (dimension/metric/spec) only works where translatable, and three legacy module paths export nothing. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragment

[Node.js / V8 JSON.parse] BOM-prefixed JSON fails with "Unexpected token '', ... is not valid JSON" from JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(f,'utf8')) while require('./f.json') works

Cause (Documented platform behavior): fs.readFileSync(...,'utf8') keeps U+FEFF; JSON.parse treats it as an unexpected token (V8 template JsonParseUnexpectedTokenShortString). Node's CommonJS loader explicitly calls stripBOM() before JSONParse when require()-ing a .json file, whic

[langchain-core load_prompt] ValueError "Path '...' is absolute. Absolute paths are not allowed when loading prompt configurations" / "contains '..' components"

[Python json] 'Invalid control character at: line N column M' — raw newlines/tabs inside JSON strings emitted by an LLM or hand-built JSON (strict=True default)

Cause (Documented platform behavior): With strict=True (default) the decoder rejects control characters in strings; JSONDecoder(strict=False) allows them. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - Invalid control character {0!r} at Evidence (public sources, summari

[langchain-core] jinja2 prompt templates rejected when deserializing or loading prompt files ("Jinja2 templates are not allowed during deserialization" / "Loading templates with 'jinja2' format is no…

Cause (Documented platform behavior): jinja2 templates can execute code; the default deserialization validator and load_prompt refuse jinja2 formats. Fix status: documented_behavior Other error fragments: - format is no longer supported since it can lead to arbitrary code executi
