The README says ctrlrun-langchain is an official LangChain middleware integration - #236
Conversation
… integration LangChain listed CTRLRunMiddleware in its middleware integrations on 2026-09-24, through its own listing flow: a maintainer ran integration-run on langchain-ai/docs#6059 and the automation's pull request, #6064, merged. The README did not name ctrlrun-langchain anywhere until now. Three ways to use it gets a paragraph saying where it is listed and what it does, and the adapter's own README, which is its PyPI page, gets a Listed in line beside the primitive it reuses. The listing is an external one, a row in the All middleware table that links to docs.ctrlrun.dev: LangChain hosts no ctrlrun page and does not feature it, and neither README says it does. The new sentence about what the middleware does has its CLAIMS.md row in CTRLRun/ctrlrun-docs, on the branch of the same name. Signed-off-by: Arpan Ghoshal <contact@arpanghoshal.com>

LangChain documentation “All middleware” table official integration community middleware listing CTRLRun
💡 Result:
If you’re asking whether **CTRLRun appears in LangChain’s official “All middleware” / community middleware listing: I couldn’t verify that it’s listed there.** The official LangChain reference documents built-in middleware, while CTRLRun’s `ctrlrun-langchain` package is a separate community integration that uses LangChain’s `wrap_tool_call` hook. [1][2]
So it’s LangChain-compatible middleware, but the sources I found don’t establish that LangChain has added it to an official community table. [1][2]
Describe this as a community middleware listing.
The LangChain page lists CTRLRun in its “All middleware” community list. It does not establish that CTRLRun is an official LangChain integration. Use “Listed in LangChain’s middleware integrations” instead.

State that the model receives the refusal reason.
Not every refusal comes from a policy rule. The adapter also returns unknown_action, approval request IDs, and effect-state reasons. Replace “which rule refused it” with “the reason for the refusal.”

Limit the no-tool guarantee to pre-execution policy denials.
The README currently says that every refused call does not reach the tool. wrap_tool_call invokes the tool handler before it converts AmbiguousEffect into a refusal. An expired lease can therefore produce a refusal after the tool has already executed.

- A refused call never reaches the tool, and the model is told which rule refused it.

What this changes
ctrlrun's LangChain middleware,
CTRLRunMiddleware, is now listed in LangChain's middleware integrations. It went through LangChain's own listing process: langchain-ai/docs#6059, merged as langchain-ai/docs#6064 on 2026-09-24. Before this PR the README didn't mentionctrlrun-langchainanywhere.README.md: Three ways to use it gets a paragraph, It is an official LangChain middleware integration., covering where it's listed and what the middleware does, with links to LangChain's list and the guide.adapters/langchain/README.md(the package's PyPI page): a "Listed in" line in the header list.Documentation only; nothing in
src/oradapters/*/srcchanges. The external listing isn't featured and LangChain hosts no ctrlrun page, and neither README says otherwise.Checklist
CLAIMS.md. The new sentence about what the middleware does has its row in The site says ctrlrun is an official LangChain middleware integration ctrlrun-docs#55, same-named branch. The listing sentence says nothing about shipped code.render_capabilities --check.test_packaging.py,test_readme_assets.py,test_adapters_langchain.pypass locally. T139's rules hold: the opening paragraph is unchanged, every link is absolute, and there's no newpip install.The README change shows on GitHub once this merges. On PyPI it appears with the next
ctrlrunrelease (and the nextctrlrun-langchainrelease for the adapter README).🤖 Generated with Claude Code
