langgraph.errors.InvalidUpdateError: Must write to at least one of [state keys]

platform: LangChain / category: Schema

Cause

A graph node returns a dict that omits all keys defined in the typed state schema, so LangGraph's write-validation rejects the update.

Fix

Ensure every node returns a dict whose keys match at least one field in your TypedDict state class. Check for typos between the return value and the schema. If a field uses a reducer, verify the reducer accepts the value type the node returns.
