Report #4686

[architecture] A node uses both a static add\_edge and a dynamic Command/conditional edge, causing both successor paths to run unexpectedly.

Choose one routing mechanism per node: static edges for fixed transitions, conditional edges or Command for dynamic transitions. Never combine them on the same source node.

Journey Context:
LangGraph explicitly warns that if node\_a has a static edge to node\_b and also returns Command\(goto='node\_c'\), both node\_b and node\_c execute. This is a common surprise when developers add a dynamic handoff to an existing graph without removing the old edge. Decide up front whether the transition is data-dependent; if it is, make it a conditional edge or Command and remove the static one.
