When does this happen?

IF Importing 'pwd' fails on Windows when using MultiQueryRetriever (or any path that triggers PebbloSafeLoader).

How others solved it

THEN Move the import of 'pwd' inside a try/except block in langchain_community/document_loaders/pebblo.py. Remove the top-level `import pwd` and wrap the call to `pwd.getpwuid` in a try block so that on Windows (where pwd does not exist) it falls back gracefully without raising ModuleNotFoundError.

try:
    import pwd
    file_owner_name = pwd.getpwuid(os.stat(file_path).st_uid).pw_name
except Exception:
    file_owner_name = "unknown"
