## Summary
- Reverts `b0e2fda` ("fix(flow): add execution_id separate from state.id", COR-48): removes `Flow.execution_id` and points `current_flow_id` / `current_flow_request_id` back at `flow_id` (i.e. `state.id`). The separate per-run tracking id was no longer the right abstraction once `restore_from_state_id` reshapes how `state.id` is assigned;
- Adds an optional `restore_from_state_id` kwarg to `Flow.kickoff` / `Flow.kickoff_async` that hydrates state from a previously-persisted flow's latest snapshot
- Reassigns `state.id` to a fresh value (or `inputs["id"]` if pinned) so the new run's `@persist` writes don't extend the source's history
- Existing `inputs["id"]` resume, `@persist`, and `from_checkpoint` paths are unchanged
## Problem
`@persist` only supports *resume* today: `kickoff(inputs={"id": <uuid>})` hydrates state and continues writing under the same `flow_uuid`. There's no way to **fork** — hydrate from a snapshot but persist under a separate key, leaving the source's history intact. This PR adds that.
| | `state.id` after kickoff | `@persist` writes land under |
|---|---|---|
| `inputs["id"]` (resume) | supplied id | supplied id (extends history) |
| `restore_from_state_id` (fork) | fresh id, or `inputs["id"]` if pinned | new id (source preserved) |
## Behavior
| `inputs.id` | `restore_from_state_id` | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| — | — | Fresh kickoff |
| set | — | Existing resume |
| — | UUID | Fork — new `state.id`, hydrated from source |
| set | UUID | Fork into a pinned `state.id`, hydrated from source |
- Source not found → silent fallback (mirrors existing resume)
- Both `from_checkpoint` and `restore_from_state_id` set → `ValueError`
- `restore_from_state_id=None` → byte-identical to current main
## Design
Fork hydration runs before the existing `inputs` block in `kickoff_async`. On a hit, it calls the same `_restore_state` primitive used by resume, then overwrites `state.id` with a fresh UUID (or `inputs["id"]`). A `fork_succeeded` flag gates the existing `inputs["id"]` path so we don't double-load. `_completed_methods` / `_is_execution_resuming` are intentionally untouched — skip-completed-methods remains the territory of `apply_checkpoint` and `from_pending`.
## Test plan
- [ ] `pytest tests/test_flow_persistence.py` — 5 new tests (four-row matrix, not-found fallback, default no-op, conflict raise) + 6 existing as regression
- [ ] `pytest tests/test_flow.py` — broader flow suite
- [ ] Manual end-to-end against an HITL `@persist` flow
* feat(crewai-tools): add highlights to ExaSearchTool, rename from EXASearchTool
- Add a highlights init param so agents can get token-efficient excerpts instead of full pages
- Rename EXASearchTool to ExaSearchTool; keep EXASearchTool as a deprecated alias so existing imports keep working
- Update the docs and example to use highlights as the recommended option
- Add a small note that says Exa is the fastest and most accurate web search API
- Add tests for the new highlights param and the deprecation alias
* fix(crewai-tools): import order and module-level Exa for tests
- Reorder std-lib imports so ruff is happy with force-sort-within-sections.
- Import Exa at module level (with a fallback) so the existing test mocks resolve.
The lazy install prompt still works if exa_py is missing.
- Allow content and summary to be a dict, matching highlights.
- Trim test file to the cases this PR introduces (highlights param and the
EXASearchTool deprecation alias). Existing init-shape tests stay.

* feat(flow): add optional key param to @persist decorator
Allows users to specify which state attribute to use as the
persistence key instead of always defaulting to state.id.
Usage: @persist(key='conversation_id')
Falls back to state.id when key is not provided (no breaking change).
Raises ValueError if the specified key is missing or falsy on state.
* docs(flow): document @persist key parameter for custom persistence keys
* fix(flow): use explicit None check for persist key to avoid empty-string fallback

* fix: add path and URL validation to RAG tools
Add validation utilities to prevent unauthorized file reads and SSRF
when RAG tools accept LLM-controlled paths/URLs at runtime.
Changes:
- New crewai_tools.utilities.safe_path module with validate_file_path(),
validate_directory_path(), and validate_url()
- File paths validated against base directory (defaults to cwd).
Resolves symlinks and ../ traversal. Rejects escape attempts.
- URLs validated: file:// blocked entirely. HTTP/HTTPS resolves DNS
and blocks private/reserved IPs (10.x, 172.16-31.x, 192.168.x,
127.x, 169.254.x, 0.0.0.0, ::1, fc00::/7).
- Validation applied in RagTool.add() — catches all RAG search tools
(JSON, CSV, PDF, TXT, DOCX, MDX, Directory, etc.)
- Removed file:// scheme support from DataTypes.from_content()
- CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS=true env var for backward compat
- 27 tests covering traversal, symlinks, private IPs, cloud metadata,
IPv6, escape hatch, and valid paths/URLs
* fix: validate path/URL keyword args in RagTool.add()
The original patch validated positional *args but left all keyword
arguments (path=, file_path=, directory_path=, url=, website=,
github_url=, youtube_url=) unvalidated, providing a trivial bypass
for both path-traversal and SSRF checks.
Applies validate_file_path() to path/file_path/directory_path kwargs
and validate_url() to url/website/github_url/youtube_url kwargs before
they reach the adapter. Adds a regression-test file covering all eight
kwarg vectors plus the two existing positional-arg checks.

* fix: address CodeQL and review comments on RAG path/URL validation
- Replace insecure tempfile.mktemp() with inline symlink target in test
- Remove unused 'target' variable and unused tempfile import
- Narrow broad except Exception: pass to only catch urlparse errors;
validate_url ValueError now propagates instead of being silently swallowed
- Fix ruff B904 (raise-without-from-inside-except) in safe_path.py
- Fix ruff B007 (unused loop variable 'family') in safe_path.py
- Use validate_directory_path in DirectorySearchTool.add() so the
public utility is exercised in production code

sockaddr where [0] is str but typed as str | int)

`type: ignore[literal-required]` comments in rag_tool.py

* test: allow tmp paths in RAG data-type tests via CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS
TemporaryDirectory creates files under /tmp/ which is outside CWD and is
correctly blocked by the new path validation. These tests exercise
data-type handling, not security, so add an autouse fixture that sets
CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS=true for the whole file. Path/URL
security is covered by test_rag_tool_path_validation.py.

* test: allow tmp paths in search-tool and rag_tool tests via CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS
test_search_tools.py has tests for TXTSearchTool, CSVSearchTool,
MDXSearchTool, JSONSearchTool, and DirectorySearchTool that create
files under /tmp/ via tempfile, which is outside CWD and correctly
blocked by the new path validation. rag_tool_test.py has one test
that calls tool.add() with a TemporaryDirectory path.
Add the same autouse allow_tmp_paths fixture used in
test_rag_tool_add_data_type.py. Security is covered separately by
test_rag_tool_path_validation.py.

* fix: address three review comments on path/URL validation
- safe_path._is_private_or_reserved: after unwrapping IPv4-mapped IPv6
to IPv4, only check against IPv4 networks to avoid TypeError when
comparing an IPv4Address against IPv6Network objects.
- safe_path.validate_file_path: handle filesystem-root base_dir ('/')
by not appending os.sep when the base already ends with a separator,
preventing the '//'-prefix bug.
- rag_tool.add: path-detection heuristic now checks for both '/' and
os.sep so forward-slash paths are caught on Windows as well as Unix.
