 22  
 23  ---
 24  
 25  ## Quick Start
 26  
 27  ### 1. Backup Everything
 28  ```bash
 29  # Run these commands before starting
 30  poetry export -f requirements.txt -o requirements-backup.txt --without-hashes
 31  cp .chainlit/config.toml .chainlit/config.toml.backup
 32  cp pyproject.toml pyproject.toml.backup
 33  docker exec postgres pg_dump -U postgres postgres > backup-$(date +%Y%m%d).sql
 34  ```
 35  
 36  ### 2. Update Dependencies
 37  ```bash
 38  # Edit pyproject.toml
 39  chainlit = "^2.8.3"    # Change from "1.3.1"
 40  langgraph = "^1.0.1"   # Change from "^0.2.31"
 41  
 42  # Install
 43  poetry lock
 44  poetry install
 45  ```
 46  
 47  ### 3. Update Configuration
 48  Edit `.chainlit/config.toml` and **DELETE** these sections:
 49  - Lines 41-53: `[features.audio]`
 50  - Lines 90-119: `[UI.theme]`
 51  - Line 19: `follow_symlink` (if uncommented)
 52  - Line 80: `custom_font` (if uncommented)
 53  
 54  Update:
 55  ```toml
 56  [meta]
 57  generated_by = "2.8.3"  # Change from "1.2.0"
 58  ```
 59  
 60  ### 4. Test
 61  ```bash
 62  poetry run chainlit run app.py
 63  # Open http://localhost:8000
 64  # Test login, send messages, upload files
 65  ```
 66  
 67  ### 5. Commit & Push
 68  ```bash
 69  git add -A
 70  git commit -m "feat: upgrade to Chainlit 2.8.3 and LangGraph 1.0.1"
 71  git push -u origin claude/upgrade-chainlit-langraph-011CUXSzH8vJY23G3tyoznkW
 72  ```

 75  
 76  ## Critical Changes
 77  
 78  ### ⚠️ Configuration File Breaking Changes
 79  
 80  **MUST DELETE from `.chainlit/config.toml`:**
 81  
 82  1. **Audio section (Lines 41-53):**
 83     ```toml
 84     # ❌ DELETE THIS ENTIRE SECTION
 85     [features.audio]
 86         min_decibels = -45
 87         # ... rest of audio config
 88     ```
 89     Why? Audio API completely reworked in Chainlit 2.0
 90  
 91  2. **Theme section (Lines 90-119):**
 92     ```toml
 93     # ❌ DELETE THIS ENTIRE SECTION
 94     [UI.theme]
 95         default = "dark"
 96     [UI.theme.light]
 97         # ...
 98     [UI.theme.dark]
 99         # ...
100     ```
101     Why? Theme config moved to separate `theme.json` file
102  
103  3. **Deprecated fields:**
104     ```toml
105     # ❌ DELETE OR ENSURE COMMENTED
106     # follow_symlink = false
107     # custom_font = "..."
108     ```
109  
110  ### ✅ Code Changes

112  **Good news:** Almost NO code changes needed!
113

116  - ✅ Your decorators work as-is
117  - ✅ Your authentication callbacks work
