Description

In the runtime context section in the migration guide, it recommends using context and context_schema in order to pass runtime context to the agent, and that the config["configurable"] pattern is only present for backwards compatibility. However, in the short-term memory guide, it shows using the old config["configurable"] pattern to set a thread_id. Shouldn't it use context for consistency/to encourage the new pattern?

@sydney-runkle commented on GitHub (Oct 21, 2025):

We still use config/configurable for thread information :// but we're working on a new API that would support that at the top level.

Thanks for calling out this inconsistency. Going to close this specific issue since we have tracking for this on the LangGraph front 👍
