📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe memoization utility now stores bound-method results in weakly referenced, instance-scoped caches. Synchronous and asynchronous wrappers use the selected cache. A test verifies discarded ChangesMemoization cache lifecycle
Priority: ➖ Normal Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The new cache can still retain discarded crew instances and generated objects when an Agent holds a bound callback, causing continued memory growth in long-running services. This should be fixed and covered by the garbage-collection regression before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 4 | ❌ 1❌ Failed checks (1 warning)

CacheHandler’s memoized values cannot strongly retain its weak-key owner, or
store the cache directly on the owner; update the test at
lib/crewai/tests/test_project.py:149-151 to assign step_callback to a bound
factory method and retain the existing garbage-collection assertion.

Prevent cached values from retaining their weak-key owner.
_instance_caches uses weak keys, but CacheHandler._cache stores memoized results strongly. A memoized Agent can set step_callback to a bound CrewBase method, creating _instance_caches → CacheHandler → Agent → step_callback → CrewBase. This keeps the weak key and generated objects alive.
