What

Raises the langwatch floor from >=0.16.1 to >=1.5.0 (upper bound unchanged) in both package.json and javascript/package.json, and updates the lockfile. Resolved version goes 0.37.0 → 1.5.0.

Why

Every langwatch release below 1.5.0 registers signal handlers that call process.exit(0) in a finally once their own OTel flush completes. From 0.37.0, the version this repo's lockfile actually resolved:

process.on("SIGINT",  () => { void gracefulShutdown({ signal: "SIGINT",  exitAfter: true }); });
process.on("SIGTERM", () => { void gracefulShutdown({ signal: "SIGTERM", exitAfter: true }); });
// ... finally { if (exitAfter) process.exit(0) }

Node runs every listener registered for a signal, so this ends the process out from under everybody else. On pod termination:

  • a scenario run in flight is cut off mid-turn;
  • any other SIGTERM listener still draining is abandoned;
  • and the process reports exit 0 — success — for work that never finished.

0.16.1, the old floor, is worse still: it registers only SIGTERM, so a local Ctrl+C never flushes at all.

langwatch@1.5.0 fixed this. It flushes, removes its own listeners, and then either leaves the process to the remaining listeners or re-raises the signal so Node applies the default action — reporting the signal (128+n) rather than faking a 0. Exiting is now opt-in behind UNSAFE_exitProcessAfterAutoShutdown.

This matters for this library in particular because setupScenarioTracing discards the handle setupObservability() returns and never calls shutdown() itself, so the SDK's auto-shutdown is this library's entire shutdown path. Raising the floor is the fix; there are no call-site changes.

Why a floor bump and not just a lockfile update

The range already permitted 1.5.0, so this could have been a lockfile-only change. It shouldn't be: with a >=0.16.1 floor, any consumer resolving from a stale lockfile or an older transitive constraint silently gets a host-killing SDK back. The floor is what makes that unrepresentable.

Verification

Against langwatch@1.5.0:

  • pnpm typecheck — clean
  • pnpm build — clean (CJS + ESM + DTS)
  • pnpm smoke:dist — CJS and ESM dist both load
  • pnpm lint:lib — clean
  • pnpm test1116 passed, 4 skipped

Every export this library uses is unchanged across the 0.x → 1.x boundary — setupObservability, SetupObservabilityOptions, LangWatchTraceExporter, attributes, getLangWatchTracer — and setupObservability(options?): ObservabilityHandle keeps its signature.

Note for the LangWatch platform

This PR does not by itself change what the LangWatch app runs. That app does not consume this package from npm — it vendors platform/app/vendor/langwatch-scenario-1.1.0.tgz, whose own langwatch dependency resolves to 1.0.0, which still exits its host. langwatch is a regular dependency here, not a peer dependency, so the vendored copy does not inherit the app's own SDK version. Picking this up there needs a re-vendored tarball (or dropping the vendoring) once this lands and a release is cut.

The floor was `>=0.16.1`, and the lockfile resolved 0.37.0. Every langwatch
release below 1.5.0 registers SIGINT/SIGTERM handlers that call
`process.exit(0)` in a `finally` once their own OTel flush completes:

    process.on("SIGTERM", () => {
      void gracefulShutdown({ signal: "SIGTERM", exitAfter: true });
    });
    // ... finally { if (exitAfter) process.exit(0) }

Node runs every listener registered for a signal, so that ends the process
out from under everybody else. On pod termination a scenario run in flight is
cut off mid-turn, any other SIGTERM listener still draining is abandoned, and
the process reports exit 0 — success — for work that never finished. 0.16.1
is worse still: it handles only SIGTERM, so a local Ctrl+C never flushes at
all.

langwatch 1.5.0 fixed this: it flushes, removes its own listeners, and then
either leaves the process to the other listeners or re-raises the signal so
Node applies the default action and the exit status reports the signal
(128+n) instead of faking 0. Exiting is now opt-in behind
`UNSAFE_exitProcessAfterAutoShutdown`.

This matters here specifically because `setupScenarioTracing` discards the
handle `setupObservability()` returns and never calls `shutdown()` itself, so
the SDK's auto-shutdown IS this library's entire shutdown path. Raising the
floor is the fix; no call site changes.

Verified against 1.5.0: typecheck clean, build clean, CJS + ESM dist load,
lint clean, 1116 tests pass. Every export this library uses
(`setupObservability`, `SetupObservabilityOptions`, `LangWatchTraceExporter`,
`attributes`, `getLangWatchTracer`) is unchanged, and
`setupObservability(options?): ObservabilityHandle` keeps its signature across
the 0.x -> 1.x boundary.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The pull request raises the minimum langwatch version from 0.16.1 to 1.5.0 in both package manifests. The <2.0.0 upper bound remains unchanged.

Changes

LangWatch version alignment

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update LangWatch dependency constraint
javascript/package.json, package.json
Both manifests require langwatch version >=1.5.0 <2.0.0 instead of >=0.16.1 <2.0.0.

Poem

A rabbit checks the package row,
And lifts the version bound just so.
From sixteen to one-five bright,
The LangWatch path is set right.
The upper gate stays firm in sight.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 174a6

The manifests now require a safer langwatch version, but the lockfile still resolves 0.16.1, so installs using it may retain the process-exit behavior this PR is intended to remove. Regenerate and commit the lockfile before merging.

Regenerate javascript/package-lock.json before merge.

The lockfile still declares langwatch >=0.16.1 <2.0.0 and resolves langwatch to 0.16.1. Update both values to satisfy >=1.5.0 <2.0.0.

Automated low-risk assessment

This PR was evaluated against the repository's Low-Risk Pull Requests procedure and does not qualify as low risk.

The PR updates the 'langwatch' dependency floor and replaces the lockfile resolution (0.37.0 → 1.5.0), including many transitive dependency entries. This is a third‑party dependency/version change that can alter runtime behavior and effectively changes an integration, which is outside the allowed low‑risk categories. Therefore it does not meet the low‑risk criteria.

This PR requires a manual review before merging.
