fix: Add version constraints to dependencies to resolve CI pipeline errors
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
- [x] 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-deeperror) -
All tests pass
-
Linting passes
-
[x] 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:
-
langchain-community>=0.0.0- Allowed ANY version (0.0.1 through 0.4.x = 40+ versions) -
langchain-memgraph>=0.1.0- No upper bound, depends on heavy packages (deepeval>=3.5.2,torch>=2.8.0) -
litellm>=1.74.0- No upper bound, many transitive dependencies - 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:
