LangGraph: 'Checkpointer requires one or more of the following configurable keys'

Mothyard curatedseed entry
A graph compiled with a checkpointer (short-term memory) raises a ValueError on `invoke`/`stream` when no `configurable` config is passed. The checkpointer needs a thread identifier to know which conversation's state to load and save.

Error

Checkpointer requires one or more of the following 'configurable' keys: thread_id, checkpoint_ns, checkpoint_id

Environment

langgraph with any checkpointer (InMemorySaver, PostgresSaver, ...)

Pass a stable `thread_id` for each conversation/session: ```python config = {"configurable": {"thread_id": "1"}} graph.invoke({"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "hi"}]}, config) ``` Reuse the same `thread_id` to resume the conversation later. Pass it as a string (a user reported a Postgres `operator does not exist: text = uuid` error when passing a `uuid.UUID` object). Use a database-backed checkpointer in production; `InMemorySaver` loses state on restart.
