Fix nested Enum deserialization in checkpoint serde

[veeceey]

Summary

Fixes #6718 - Nested Enum fields now correctly deserialize from checkpoints instead of becoming None.

Problem

When Pydantic models containing nested enum fields (enums defined inside classes like DatasetArtifact.PhaseEnum) were checkpointed and restored, the enum values would deserialize as None, breaking Pydantic validation and causing models to fall back to dicts.

Root cause: The serializer used __name__ for class names, which for nested classes only returns the simple name (e.g., "PhaseEnum"). During deserialization, attempting getattr(module, "PhaseEnum") failed because the enum isn't at module level - it's nested inside DatasetArtifact.

Solution

1. Serialization: Use __qualname__ instead of __name__ to preserve nesting info (e.g., "DatasetArtifact.PhaseEnum")
2. Deserialization: Handle dot-separated paths using functools.reduce to traverse nested classes
3. Fallback: Return raw enum value instead of None when class resolution fails, allowing Pydantic to reconstruct the enum from the value

Test Plan

• Added comprehensive test test_serde_jsonplus_nested_enum() that verifies:
  • Nested enums serialize and deserialize correctly
  • Enum values are preserved (not None) even when model can't be imported
  • Reconstructed models have correct enum types and values
• All existing tests pass (96 passed)

Changes

• libs/checkpoint/langgraph/checkpoint/serde/jsonplus.py: Updated enum serialization/deserialization
• libs/checkpoint/tests/test_jsonplus.py: Added regression test

PR Review Summary

Status: ✅ READY TO MERGE

Excellent bugfix! This PR correctly fixes nested enum deserialization by using instead of , preserving class nesting information.

Key Strengths:

• ✅ Surgical fix: 14 additions, 3 deletions - perfectly minimal
• ✅ Root cause properly identified and addressed
• ✅ Smart fallback: returns raw enum value for Pydantic reconstruction
• ✅ Comprehensive test with multiple enum values (QUERY, READY)
• ✅ Validates full round-trip: serialize → deserialize → Pydantic reconstruct

Technical Details:

Problem: Enums in nested classes like were serializing with , failing to resolve during deserialization

Solution:

• Use for serialization
• Use with dot-split to traverse nested names during deserialization
• Fallback to raw value when class can't be imported (allows Pydantic to reconstruct)

Test Coverage:

• Tests both QUERY and READY enum variants
• Validates enum values are preserved (not None)
• Confirms Pydantic can reconstruct typed models from dict representation

This is a clean, well-tested fix that solves a tricky serialization edge case. Ready for merge!
