LangGraph: calling a checkpointed subgraph multiple times in one node (MULTIPLE_SUBGRAPHS)
An orchestrator node that invokes the same sub-agent graph several times (e.g. in parallel) fails when the subgraph was compiled with `checkpointer=True` (continuations mode).

Choose the checkpointer mode by need:
```python
# no interrupts needed
subgraph = builder.compile(checkpointer=False)
# interrupts but no cross-invocation persistence (unique namespace per call)
subgraph = builder.compile()
```
If you need cross-invocation persistence keep `checkpointer=True`; for stable namespaces wrap each subgraph call in a uniquely named node (see subgraph persistence docs).
