Add three new CLI subcommands to improve checkpoint UX:
- `crewai checkpoint resume [id]` skips the TUI and resumes from the
latest or specified checkpoint directly
- `crewai checkpoint diff <id1> <id2>` compares two checkpoints showing
changes in metadata, inputs, task status, and outputs
- `crewai checkpoint prune --keep N --older-than Xd` removes old
checkpoints from JSON dirs or SQLite databases
Also writes a resume hint to stderr after every checkpoint save so
users discover the command without needing to know it exists.
Concurrent streaming runs registered handlers on the singleton event bus
that received all LLMStreamChunkEvent emissions, causing chunks to fan
out across unrelated queues. Introduces a ContextVar-based stream scope
ID so each handler only accepts events from its own execution context.

* feat: add template management commands for project templates
- Introduced command group to browse and install project templates.
- Added command to display available templates.
- Implemented command to install a selected template into the current directory.
- Created class to handle template-related operations, including fetching templates from GitHub and managing installations.
- Enhanced telemetry to track template installations.

Branch-aware checkpoint storage writes under subdirectories (e.g.
main/, fork/exp1/) but _list_json and _info_json_latest used flat
globs that missed them.
resolve_refs now returns type-preserving stubs instead of {} for
circular $refs, and create_model_from_schema catches JsonRefError
to fall back to lazy top-level-only inlining.
Forwarding strict and sanitizing tool schemas for strict mode causes
Bedrock Converse requests to hang until timeout. Drop strict forwarding
and schema sanitization from the Bedrock provider.
Add crewai deploy validate to check project structure, dependencies, imports, and env usage before deploy
Run validation automatically in deploy create and deploy push with skip flag support
Return structured findings with stable codes and hints
Add test coverage for validation scenarios
refactor: defer LLM client construction to first use
Move SDK client creation out of model initialization into lazy getters
Add _get_sync_client and _get_async_client across providers
Route all provider calls through lazy getters
Surface credential errors at first real invocation
refactor: standardize provider client access
Align async paths to use _get_async_client
Avoid client construction in lightweight config accessors
Simplify provider lifecycle and improve consistency
test: update suite for new behavior
Update tests for lazy initialization contract
Update CLI tests for validation flow and skip flag
Expand coverage for provider initialization paths
func_info.get('arguments', '{}') returns '{}' (truthy) when no
'function' wrapper exists (Bedrock format), causing the or-fallback
to tool_call.get('input', {}) to never execute. The actual Bedrock
arguments are silently discarded.
Remove the default so get('arguments') returns None (falsy) when
there's no function wrapper, allowing the or-chain to correctly
fall through to Bedrock's 'input' field.
Fixes#5275
Pydantic schemas intermittently fail strict tool-use on openai, anthropic,
and bedrock. All three reject nested objects missing additionalProperties:
false, and anthropic also rejects keywords like minLength and top-level
anyOf. Adds per-provider sanitizers that inline refs, close objects, mark
every property required, preserve nullable unions, and strip keywords each
grammar compiler rejects. Verified against real bedrock, anthropic, and
openai.
Substring checks like `'0.1' not in json_str` collided with timestamps
such as `2026-04-10T13:00:50.140557` on CI. Round-trip through
`model_validate_json` to verify structurally that the embedding field
is absent from the serialized output.
- Rewrite TUI with Tree widget showing branch/fork lineage
- Add Resume and Fork buttons in detail panel with Collapsible entities
- Show branch and parent_id in detail panel and CLI info output
- Auto-detect .checkpoints.db when default dir missing
- Append .db to location for SqliteProvider when no extension set
- Fix RuntimeState.from_checkpoint not setting provider/location
- Fork now writes initial checkpoint on new branch
- Add from_checkpoint, fork, and CLI docs to checkpointing.mdx
The OpenAI-format tool schema sets strict: true but this was dropped
during conversion to Anthropic/Bedrock formats, so neither provider
used constrained decoding. Without it, the model can return string
"None" instead of JSON null for nullable fields, causing Pydantic
validation failures.
Accept CheckpointConfig on Crew and Flow kickoff/kickoff_async/akickoff.
When restore_from is set, the entity resumes from that checkpoint.
When only config fields are set, checkpointing is enabled for the run.
Adds restore_from field (Path | str | None) to CheckpointConfig.
Write the crewAI package version into every checkpoint blob. On restore,
run version-based migrations so older checkpoints can be transformed
forward to the current format. Adds crewai.utilities.version module.
resume_async() was missing trace infrastructure that kickoff_async()
sets up, causing flow_finished to never reach the platform after HITL
feedback. Add FlowStartedEvent emission to initialize the trace batch,
await event futures, finalize the trace batch, and guard with
suppress_flow_events.
Launch a Textual TUI via `crewai checkpoint` to browse and resume
from checkpoints. Uses run_async/akickoff for fully async execution.
Adds provider auto-detection from file magic bytes.
Wrapping sys.stdout and sys.stderr at import time with a
threading.Lock is not fork-safe and adds overhead to every
print call. litellm.suppress_debug_info already silences the
noisy output this was designed to filter.
Replace the Protocol with a BaseModel + ABC so providers serialize and
deserialize natively via pydantic. Each provider gets a Literal
provider_type field. CheckpointConfig.provider uses a discriminated
union so the correct provider class is reconstructed from checkpoint JSON.
