Description

This PR fixes the resolution-too-deep error that is causing all CI pipeline builds to fail during dependency installation.

Changes:

  • Add upper bounds (<1.0.0) to langchain-* packages
  • Constrain litellm to <2.0.0
  • Add upper bounds to google-generativeai (<1.0.0) and google-genai (<2.0.0)
  • Add upper bounds to sentence-transformers (<6.0.0), opensearch-py (<4.0.0), fastembed (<1.0.0)
  • Change langchain-community from >=0.0.0 to >=0.3.0,<1.0.0 (eliminates 40+ old versions)
  • Add neo4j upper bound <6.0.0

These constraints prevent pip's dependency resolver from hitting the 'resolution-too-deep' error by limiting the number of version combinations to explore.

Root Cause:
The issue was caused by overly loose dependency constraints in pyproject.toml, which led pip's dependency resolver to explore hundreds of version combinations before hitting complexity limits.

Fixes: #3655

Type of change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Refactor (does not change functionality, e.g. code style improvements, linting)
  • Documentation update

How Has This Been Tested?

The fix can be tested by installing dependencies with all extras:

# Create fresh virtual environment
python -m venv test_env
source test_env/bin/activate

# Install with all extras (this was failing before)
pip install -e ".[test,graph,vector_stores,llms,extras]"

# Should complete successfully without resolution errors

CI Testing:
The CI pipeline will validate that:

  • Dependencies resolve successfully (without resolution-too-deep error)

  • All tests pass

  • Linting passes

  • Test Script (provided above)

Details

Problem

CI Error:

error: resolution-too-deep
× Dependency resolution exceeded maximum depth

Impact:

  • ❌ All CI builds fail during pip install
  • ❌ Cannot run automated tests
  • ❌ Blocks PR merges
  • ❌ Affects all contributors

Root Cause Analysis

The dependency resolver was exploring excessive version combinations due to:

  1. langchain-community>=0.0.0 - Allowed ANY version (0.0.1 through 0.4.x = 40+ versions)
  2. langchain-memgraph>=0.1.0 - No upper bound, depends on heavy packages (deepeval>=3.5.2, torch>=2.8.0)
  3. litellm>=1.74.0 - No upper bound, many transitive dependencies
  4. Several other packages without upper bounds creating complex dependency trees

Pip attempted to resolve hundreds of combinations of grpcio, grpcio-tools, grpcio-health-checking, grpcio-status, marshmallow, jinja2, importlib-metadata, and others before timing out.

Solution - Version Constraints

Added semantic version upper bound constraints to limit the resolver's search space:

Changes Made

Package Before After Impact
langchain-community >=0.0.0 >=0.3.0,<1.0.0 Eliminates 40+ old versions
langchain-neo4j >=0.4.0 >=0.4.0,<1.0.0 Prevents future breaking changes
langchain-aws >=0.2.23 >=0.2.23,<1.0.0 Consistent versioning
langchain-memgraph >=0.1.0 >=0.1.0,<1.0.0 Limits heavy dependency tree
neo4j >=5.23.1 >=5.23.1,<6.0.0 Semantic versioning
litellm >=1.74.0 >=1.74.0,<2.0.0 Prevents major version breaks
google-generativeai >=0.3.0 >=0.3.0,<1.0.0 Semantic versioning
google-genai >=1.0.0 >=1.0.0,<2.0.0 Prevents major version breaks
sentence-transformers >=5.0.0 >=5.0.0,<6.0.0 Semantic versioning
opensearch-py >=2.0.0 >=2.0.0,<4.0.0 Limits version exploration
fastembed >=0.3.1 >=0.3.1,<1.0.0 Semantic versioning
