Mais deste repositório langchain-deploy-integration Deploy a LangChain 1.0 / LangGraph 1.0 app to Cloud Run, Vercel, or LangServe correctly — with timeouts sized for chain length, cold-start mitigation, SSE anti-buffering headers, and Secret Manager over .env. Use when prepping a first production deploy, debugging a stream that hangs behind a proxy, or diagnosing p99 latency spikes. Trigger with "langchain deploy", "langchain cloud run", "langchain vercel python", "langchain langserve", or "langchain docker".
langchain-langgraph-agents Build a correct LangGraph 1.0 ReAct agent with create_react_agent — typed tools, error propagation, recursion caps, and stop conditions that actually stop. Use when writing a first tool-calling agent, migrating from AgentExecutor or initialize_agent, or diagnosing an agent that loops on vague prompts. Trigger with "langgraph agent", "create_react_agent", "langgraph tool calling", "AgentExecutor migration", or "agent loop cost".
langchain-langgraph-human-in-loop Build LangGraph 1.0 human-in-the-loop approval flows with interrupt_before /
interrupt_after and Command(resume=...) — JSON-serializable state, clean
resume semantics, and UI wiring for approval decisions. Use when adding an
approval gate before an expensive tool call, wiring a Slack/web UI for agent
approvals, or debugging a graph that crashes on interrupt.

Perplexity Advanced Troubleshooting
Overview
Deep debugging for Perplexity Sonar API issues that resist standard fixes. Common hard problems: inconsistent citations between identical queries, intermittent timeouts on sonar-pro, search results not matching recency filter, and response quality degradation.
Prerequisites
Access to production logs and metrics
curl for direct API testingUnderstanding of Perplexity's search-augmented generation model
Diagnostic Tools

Inconsistent Citation Investigation
async function citationStabilityTest (query : string , runs : number = 5 const results : Array <{ citations : string []; answer : string }> = [];
for (let i = 0 ; i < runs; i++) {
const response = await perplexity.chat .completions .create ({
model : "sonar" ,
messages : [{ role : "user" , content : query }],
max_tokens : 500 ,
});
results.push ({
answer : response.choices [0 ].message .content || "" ,
citations : (response as any ).citations || [],
});
await new Promise ((r ) => setTimeout (r, 2000 ));
}
const allCitations = results.flatMap ((r ) => r.citations );
const citationFreq = allCitations.reduce ((acc, url ) => {
acc[url] = (acc[url] || 0 ) + 1 ;
return acc;
}, {} as Record <string , number >);
const stable = Object .entries (citationFreq)
.filter (([, count] ) => count >= runs * 0.6 )
.map (([url] ) => url);
console .log (`Stable citations (>60% appearance): ${stable.length} /${Object .keys(citationFreq).length} ` );
console .log ("Stable:" , stable);

Latency Profiling async function profileLatency (
queries : string [],

Recency Filter Validation
async function testRecencyFilter (const query = "latest technology news" ;
const filters : Array <"hour" | "day" | "week" | "month" > = ["hour" , "day" , "week" , "month" ];
for (const filter of filters) {

const citations = (response as any ).citations || [];
console .log (`\nRecency: ${filter} ` );
console .log (` Citations: ${citations.length} ` );

Support Escalation Template ## Perplexity Support Escalation
**Issue:** [Brief description]
**Severity:** [P1-P4]
**First observed:** [ISO 8601 timestamp]
**Frequency:** [Always / Intermittent / Once]
### Steps to Reproduce
1. Call `POST https://api.perplexity.ai/chat/completions`
2. Body: `{"model": "sonar", "messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "..."}]}`
3. Observed: [What happened]
4. Expected: [What should happen]
### Evidence
- Layer diagnostic results: [paste output]
- Latency profile: [p50/p95 values]
- Citation stability: [X/Y stable citations]
- Response JSON: [attach]
### Workarounds Attempted
1. [Workaround] — Result: [outcome]
Error Handling Issue Cause Solution Different citations per call Web search is non-deterministic Cache results; accept variability recency filter ignored Query overrides filter context Make query explicitly time-bounded sonar-pro timeout Complex multi-source search Set 30s timeout, fall back to sonar Answer quality varies Different web sources found Use search_domain_filter for consistency
