- New lib/crewai-core/ package: version, paths, constants, lock_store, user_data,
printer, telemetry. Pure leaf — depends only on appdirs/portalocker/rich/otel.
- crewai now depends on crewai-core; old crewai.utilities.{version,paths,printer,
lock_store} and the user-data block of events/listeners/tracing/utils.py become
one-shot DeprecationWarning shims that re-export from crewai_core.
- crewai-cli drops its hard dep on crewai and depends only on crewai-core. CLI
imports for telemetry/version/printer/constants now point at crewai_core.
- tools/main.py lazy-imports project_utils + get_user_id; the publish/login
subcommands print a friendly "requires crewai" error if it's missing.
- crewai-cli is now genuinely standalone: 'crewai --help', 'version', 'login',
'config', 'traces', 'create', 'template' all work without crewai installed.
- 351 CLI tests + 9 crewai-core smoke tests + crewai's full mypy (471 files) clean.
Resolve conflicts from origin/main: relocate new CLI additions
(checkpoint_tui, deploy/validate, remote_template, content_crew
templates) into lib/cli, rewrite imports for the standalone
crewai-cli package, port main's trained_agents_file param and
predeploy validation, and bump python-dotenv/pydantic in
crewai-cli to match crewai's constraints. Add the new
mark_ephemeral_trace_batch_as_failed method to the relocated
crewai.plus_api. Update tests for the new payload field, deploy
--skip-validate kwarg, and crewai_cli import paths.
Add the new lib/cli package skeleton with pyproject.toml, README,
and __init__.py. Register it as a uv workspace member and update
root linting, mypy, bandit, and pytest config to include the new
package paths.
