## Statements (checkable)
0. CrewAI docs Migrating from inputs.id to restore_from_state_id warn that passing id inside inputs to hydrate a @persist flow is deprecated and scheduled for removal in a future release. The replacement restore_from_state_id is available in CrewAI v1.14.5 and later (GitHub release 1.14.5 published 2026-05-18).  [✓0 ✗0]
1. Deprecated form: flow.kickoff(inputs={"id": "..."}) resumes under the same flow_uuid. Supported form: flow.kickoff(restore_from_state_id="...") forks — hydrates from the snapshot then writes under a fresh state.id. There is no immediate hard cut-off; existing flows continue to work until removal.  [✓0 ✗0]

## Fix
```text
On crewai>=1.14.5, replace kickoff(inputs={"id": ...}) with kickoff(restore_from_state_id=...). Prefer fork semantics for production re-runs seeded from a previous state. Migrate before inputs.id hydration is removed.
```
