Option A — Upgrade to fixed release\npip install pydantic==1.10.19\nWhen NOT to use: This fix is not applicable if you require compatibility with older `mypy` versions.\n\n
Why This Fix Works in Production
- Trigger: - [ ] [Compatibility between releases](https://docs.pydantic.dev/changelog/)
- Mechanism: The `mypy` plugin implementation had outdated version compatibility branches
- Why the fix works: Cleans up the `mypy` plugin implementation by removing old version compatibility branches and improving type checking. (first fixed release: 1.10.19).
- If left unfixed, the same config can fail only in production (env differences), causing startup failures or partial feature outages.
Why This Breaks in Prod
- The `mypy` plugin implementation had outdated version compatibility branches
- Production symptom (often without a traceback): - [ ] [Compatibility between releases](https://docs.pydantic.dev/changelog/)

Discussion
High-signal excerpts from the issue thread (symptoms, repros, edge-cases).
“Giving feedback as a random passerby: for downstream users it would be easier to have a time window of supported versions as mypy doesn't have…”
“Seems like a safer approach, thanks for the suggestion!”

Fix Options (Details)
Option A — Upgrade to fixed release Safe default (recommended)
pip install pydantic==1.10.19
Use when you can deploy the upstream fix. It is usually lower-risk than long-lived workarounds.
Option D — Guard side-effects with OnceOnly Guardrail for side-effects
Mitigate duplicate external side-effects under retries/timeouts/agent loops by gating the operation before calling external systems.
- Place OnceOnly between your code/agent and real side-effects (Stripe, emails, CRM, APIs).
- Use a stable key per side-effect (e.g., customer_id + action + idempotency_key).
- Fail-safe: configure fail-open vs fail-closed based on blast radius and spend risk.
Show example snippet (optional)
from onceonly import OnceOnly
import os
once = OnceOnly(api_key=os.environ["ONCEONLY_API_KEY"], fail_open=True)
# Stable idempotency key per real side-effect.
# Use a request id / job id / webhook delivery id / Stripe event id, etc.
event_id = "evt_..." # replace
key = f"stripe:webhook:{event_id}"
res = once.check_lock(key=key, ttl=3600)
if res.duplicate:
return {"status": "already_processed"}
# Safe to execute the side-effect exactly once.
handle_event(event_id)

When NOT to Use This Fix
- This fix is not applicable if you require compatibility with older `mypy` versions.
- Do not use this to hide logic bugs or data corruption. Use it to block duplicate external side-effects and enforce tool permissions/spend caps.
Did This Fix Work in Your Case?
Quick signal helps us prioritize which fixes to verify and improve.
Prevention
- Add a CI check that diffs key outputs after upgrades (OpenAPI schema snapshots, JSON payload shapes, CLI output).
- Upgrade behind a canary and run integration tests against the canary before 100% rollout.
