The Fix

pip install pydantic==1.10.19

Based on closed pydantic/pydantic issue #10197 · PR/commit linked

Production note: Most teams hit this during upgrades or environment changes. Roll out with a canary and smoke critical endpoints (health, OpenAPI/docs) before 100%.

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  • Mechanism: The `mypy` plugin implementation had outdated version compatibility branches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).
Production impact:
  • 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  • The `mypy` plugin implementation had outdated version compatibility branches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/)

What Broke

Users experienced issues with type checking due to unsupported `mypy` versions.

Why It Broke

The `mypy` plugin implementation had outdated version compatibility branches

Fix Options (Details)

Option A — Upgrade to fixed release Safe default (recommended)

pip install pydantic==1.10.19

When NOT to use: This fix is not applicable if you require compatibility with older `mypy` versions.

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)
onceonly.py
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)

See OnceOnly SDK

When NOT to use: 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.
