The roadmap says why a LangChain adapter exists after saying it would not

[arpanghoshal]

The roadmap's v0.5 section says, deliberately, LangGraph and not LangChain, because a LangChain adapter would buy only the legacy AgentExecutor path. ctrlrun-langchain 1.0.0 shipped to PyPI on 2026-09-15, so a public page now contradicts a released package.

The sentence was true of what it was about. What changed is LangChain 1.0's AgentMiddleware.wrap_tool_call, which hands the middleware the tool call itself: not the legacy path, and not an approval primitive, but a surface on which a refused call never reaches the tool and the effect is reserved before it runs. The amendment is recorded in place, dated, with that reason, the way the file requires of every change; the adapter rule is widened from the framework's own HITL primitive to the framework's own primitive, of which a call-wrapping hook is the second kind.

One paragraph, no other change. Lint and links green.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Documentation
  • Updated the v0.5 roadmap to document the available LangChain adapter.
  • Clarified that tool calls are gated before execution and that returned results are committed afterward.
  • Distinguished LangChain call wrapping from human-in-the-loop approval and the separate LangGraph adapter.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The v0.5 roadmap now documents the released ctrlrun-langchain 1.0.0 adapter, its wrap_tool_call gating behavior, and its distinction from HITL approval and LangGraph interrupt-based adapters.

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Document LangChain adapter behavior docs/ROADMAP.md	The roadmap records the adapter’s reservation, refusal, and result-commit flow through AgentMiddleware.wrap_tool_call. It distinguishes this flow from HITL approval primitives and the LangGraph interrupt-based adapter.

Propagate the new adapter rule through the adapter section.

Line 103 permits adapters that reuse framework-owned primitives such as wrap_tool_call. Lines 112 and 116 still define adapters as HITL interrupt integrations and omit ctrlrun-langchain from the framework list. Update those statements so the roadmap does not give conflicting eligibility and inventory rules.

You decide if the handler is called zero times (short-circuit), once (normal flow), or multiple times."* Read 2026-09-16. - **Framework shape:** the framework hands over the call itself. ## This is not the LangGraph adapter `ctrlrun-langgraph` routes an `APPROVE` through `interrupt()`, reusing a human-in-the-loop primitive. This is a different thing on a different surface: LangChain&`#39`;s middleware gives the tool call itself to the middleware, so `handler` **is** the executor. That closes the gap every observation-hook integration lives with. There is no separate outcome report to arrive late, be swallowed, or never fire. What the tool did is what `handler` returned or raised, in the same stack frame, and the receipt says so. Three consequences, which are the reason to use this over a log-and-hope callback: - **A denial never reaches the tool.** `handler` is not called, and the model gets a `ToolMessage` saying the call was refused and which rule refused it. - **Once stays once.** The effect is reserved before `handler` runs and committed from its return, so two agents sharing a store cannot both execute the same effect key. - **An unknown outcome stays unknown.** Anything `handler` raises that is not `NotExecuted` leaves the effect `AMBIGUOUS`, and the next attempt is refused until a human resolves it, rather than being retried into a double charge. ## You may not need this `@protect` already covers any Python callable, including a LangChain tool, with no middleware and no framework support at all. This buys one thing over it: the gate applies to **every** tool the agent can reach, including tools you did not write and cannot decorate. There is a third way in that is not an adapter at all: `ctrlrun gateway` puts the same guarantees in front of an MCP tool server, in any language, with no agent change. ## Install ```console $ pip install ctrlrun-langchain ``` ## Use The **operator** wires it, on the line where the policy, the store and the identity provider are chosen. This middleware never constructs a `Control` (SPEC-v0.5 §2.3), so everything it must not decide — the identity provider, the authority document, the environment, the mode — is chosen by the person deploying it. ```python from langchain.agents import create_agent from ctrlrun import Control from ctrlrun_langchain import CTRLRunMiddleware control = Control.from_file("ctrlrun.yaml") agent = create_agent( model="gpt-5.5", tools=[lookup, issue_refund], middleware=[CTRLRunMiddleware(control)], ) ``` With a policy that says refunds up to €50 are autonomous and the rest are denied: ```yaml schema: ctrlrun.policy/v2 actions: lookup: decision: allow issue_refund: effect: "refund:{payment_id}" rules: - when: { amount_gte: 0, amo…[truncated]

Align the release date with the stated source.

PyPI lists ctrlrun-langchain 1.0.0 as uploaded on 2026-09-16T00:25:10.368278Z, but this line says 2026-09-15. If the roadmap records PyPI publication, change the date to September 16, 2026. Otherwise, identify the repository release or other event that defines September 15.
