In `@lib/crewai/src/crewai/memory/recall_flow.py`:
- Line 224: Update the time-filter parsing in the recall flow around
datetime.fromisoformat so trailing Z timestamps are normalized to +00:00 before
parsing. Ensure self.state.time_cutoff is set for valid UTC filters, preserving
existing handling for other ISO-8601 timestamps and invalid values.
- Line 226: Reset self.state.time_cutoff to None at the start of the
query-filter derivation in the recall flow, before handling short queries,
absent filters, or invalid filters. Preserve assigning a parsed cutoff only for
a valid filter so _do_search() never reuses state from a previous
kickoff_async() execution.

67-75: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winAdd a non-zero-offset regression case
RecallFlow.analyze_query_stepconverts every awaretime_filterwithastimezone(timezone.utc). The existing tests use onlyZtimestamps and do not assert the shifted cutoff value. Add a+05:00or-08:00case and assert the exact naive UTC result. This uses the same branch but validates offset arithmetic that a zero-offset input cannot detect.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

227-239: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winAdd focused kickoff tests for date-only and invalid
time_filtervalues.
QueryAnalysis.time_filteraccepts ISO date-only values and arbitrary strings.RecallFlow.analyze_query_stepconverts a date-only value to a naive cutoff and converts an invalid value toNone. Existing tests coverZ, offsets, and a valid-then-null reset, but not these parser branches. Add one kickoff test for each branch and assert the cutoff and returned records. An absent field uses the sameNonepath as the existing explicit-null test.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

Summary
In the deep-recall flow,
analyze_query_stepparses the LLM'stime_filter(documented as "an ISO 8601 date string") withdatetime.fromisoformat. Models routinely emit offset-suffixed values such as2026-01-01T00:00:00Z, which parse to a tz-aware datetime on Python 3.11+.MemoryRecord.created_atis naive (datetime.utcnow), so the comparison in_search_oneraisesTypeError: can't compare offset-naive and offset-aware datetimes.That exception is swallowed by the
except Exceptionaround each scope search, so every scope is skipped, confidence drops to 0, and recall silently returns an empty result set — exactly for the time-constrained queries the filter exists for.The fix normalizes an aware cutoff to naive UTC at the single write point (
analyze_query_step), before it reaches the comparison. Date-only and offset-free strings are unaffected.Verification
lib/crewai/tests/memory/test_recall_flow.py: a fake-storage/fake-LLM kickoff withtime_filter: "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z". On the old code it fails with the naive/awareTypeError(and the record is dropped); with the fix the cutoff is naive UTC and the record is returned.uv run pytest lib/crewai/tests/memory/— same result asmainbaseline locally on Windows (pre-existing environment failures unchanged), plus the new passing test.Zsuffix to+00:00before parsing becausedatetime.fromisoformatrejects it on Python 3.10 (where such filters were silently dropped).uv run ruff check/uv run ruff format --check/uv run mypyclean on the touched files.Additional context
