Demonstrate isolated state between different thread IDs.
```typescript
// Different threads maintain separate state
const aliceConfig = { configurable: { thread_id: "user-alice" } };
const bobConfig = { configurable: { thread_id: "user-bob" } };

await graph.invoke({ messages: [new HumanMessage("Hi from Alice")] }, aliceConfig);
await graph.invoke({ messages: [new HumanMessage("Hi from Bob")] }, bobConfig);

// Alice's state is isolated from Bob's

</python>
<typescript>
Time travel: browse checkpoint history and replay or fork from a past state.
```typescript
const config = { configurable: { thread_id: "session-1" } };

const result = await graph.invoke({ messages: ["start"] }, config);

// Browse checkpoint history (async iterable, collect to array)
const states: Awaited<ReturnType<typeof graph.getState>>[] = [];
for await (const state of graph.getStateHistory(config)) {
  states.push(state);
}

// Replay from a past checkpoint
const past = states[states.length - 2];
const replayed = await graph.invoke(null, past.config);  // null = resume from checkpoint

// Or fork: update state at a past checkpoint, then resume
const forkConfig = await graph.updateState(past.config, { messages: ["edited"] });
const forked = await graph.invoke(null, forkConfig);

</python>
<typescript>
Manually update graph state before resuming execution.
```typescript
const config = { configurable: { thread_id: "session-1" } };

// Modify state before resuming
await graph.updateState(config, { data: "manually_updated" });

// Resume with updated state
const result = await graph.invoke(null, config);

</python>
<typescript>
Choose the right checkpointer mode for your subgraph.
```typescript
// No interrupts needed — opt out of checkpointing
const subgraph = subgraphBuilder.compile({ checkpointer: false });

// Need interrupts but not cross-invocation persistence (default)
const subgraph = subgraphBuilder.compile();

// Need cross-invocation persistence (stateful)
const subgraph = subgraphBuilder.compile({ checkpointer: true });

</python>
<typescript>
```typescript
import { StateGraph, StateSchema, MessagesValue, START } from "@langchain/langgraph";

function createSubAgent(model: string, { name, ...kwargs }: { name: string; [key: string]: any }) {
  const agent = createAgent({ model, name, ...kwargs });
  return new StateGraph(new StateSchema({ messages: MessagesValue }))
    .addNode(name, agent)  // unique name -> stable namespace
    .addEdge(START, name)
    .compile();
}

const fruitAgent = createSubAgent("gpt-4.1-mini", {
  name: "fruit_agent", tools: [fruitInfo], prompt: "...", checkpointer: true,
});
const veggieAgent = createSubAgent("gpt-4.1-mini", {
  name: "veggie_agent", tools: [veggieInfo], prompt: "...", checkpointer: true,
});

</python>
<typescript>
Use a Store for cross-thread memory to share user preferences across conversations.
```typescript
import { MemoryStore } from "@langchain/langgraph";

const store = new MemoryStore();

// Save user preference (available across ALL threads)
await store.put(["alice", "preferences"], "language", { preference: "short responses" });

// Node with store — access via runtime
const respond = async (state: typeof State.State, runtime: any) => {
  const item = await runtime.store?.get(["alice", "preferences"], "language");
  return { response: `Using preference: ${item?.value?.preference}` };
};

// Compile with BOTH checkpointer and store
const graph = builder.compile({ checkpointer, store });

// Both threads access same long-term memory
await graph.invoke({ userId: "alice" }, { configurable: { thread_id: "thread-1" } });
await graph.invoke({ userId: "alice" }, { configurable: { thread_id: "thread-2" } });  // Same preferences!

</python>

## Fixes

<fix-thread-id-required>
<python>
Always provide thread_id in config to enable state persistence.
```python
# WRONG: No thread_id - state NOT persisted!
graph.invoke({"messages": ["Hello"]})
graph.invoke({"messages": ["What did I say?"]})  # Doesn't remember!

# CORRECT: Always provide thread_id
config = {"configurable": {"thread_id": "session-1"}}
graph.invoke({"messages": ["Hello"]}, config)
graph.invoke({"messages": ["What did I say?"]}, config)  # Remembers!

</typescript>
</fix-thread-id-required>


<fix-inmemory-not-for-production>
<python>
Use PostgresSaver instead of InMemorySaver for production persistence.
```python
# WRONG: Data lost on process restart
checkpointer = InMemorySaver()  # In-memory only!

# CORRECT: Use persistent storage for production
from langgraph.checkpoint.postgres import PostgresSaver
with PostgresSaver.from_conn_string("postgresql://...") as checkpointer:
    checkpointer.setup()  # only needed on first use to create tables
    graph = builder.compile(checkpointer=checkpointer)

</typescript>
</fix-inmemory-not-for-production>


<fix-update-state-with-reducers>
<python>
Use Overwrite to replace state values instead of passing through reducers.
```python
from langgraph.types import Overwrite

# State with reducer: items: Annotated[list, operator.add]
# Current state: {"items": ["A", "B"]}

# update_state PASSES THROUGH reducers
graph.update_state(config, {"items": ["C"]})  # Result: ["A", "B", "C"] - Appended!

# To REPLACE instead, use Overwrite
graph.update_state(config, {"items": Overwrite(["C"])})  # Result: ["C"] - Replaced

</typescript>
</fix-update-state-with-reducers>

<fix-store-injection>
<python>
Access store via the Runtime object in graph nodes.
```python
# WRONG: Store not available in node
def my_node(state):
    store.put(...)  # NameError! store not defined

# CORRECT: Access store via runtime
from langgraph.runtime import Runtime

def my_node(state, runtime: Runtime):
    runtime.store.put(...)  # Correct store instance

</typescript>
</fix-store-injection>

### What You Should NOT Do

- Use `InMemorySaver` in production — data lost on restart; use `PostgresSaver`
- Forget `thread_id` — state won't persist without it
- Expect `update_state` to bypass reducers — it passes through them; use `Overwrite` to replace
- Run the same stateful subgraph (`checkpointer=True`) in parallel within one node — namespace conflict
- Access store directly in a node — use `runtime.store` via the `Runtime` param
</boundaries>

</python>
<typescript>
Set up a basic graph with in-memory checkpointing and thread-based state persistence.
```typescript
import { MemorySaver, StateGraph, StateSchema, MessagesValue, START, END } from "@langchain/langgraph";
import { HumanMessage } from "@langchain/core/messages";

const State = new StateSchema({ messages: MessagesValue });

const addMessage = async (state: typeof State.State) => {
  return { messages: [{ role: "assistant", content: "Bot response" }] };
};

const checkpointer = new MemorySaver();

const graph = new StateGraph(State)
  .addNode("respond", addMessage)
  .addEdge(START, "respond")
  .addEdge("respond", END)
  .compile({ checkpointer });

// ALWAYS provide thread_id
const config = { configurable: { thread_id: "conversation-1" } };

const result1 = await graph.invoke({ messages: [new HumanMessage("Hello")] }, config);
console.log(result1.messages.length);  // 2

const result2 = await graph.invoke({ messages: [new HumanMessage("How are you?")] }, config);
console.log(result2.messages.length);  // 4 (previous + new)

</python>
<typescript>
Configure PostgreSQL-backed checkpointing for production deployments.
```typescript
import { PostgresSaver } from "@langchain/langgraph-checkpoint-postgres";

const checkpointer = PostgresSaver.fromConnString(
  "postgresql://user:pass@localhost/db"
);
await checkpointer.setup(); // only needed on first use to create tables

const graph = builder.compile({ checkpointer });
