1. check_expired_deprecations() is placeholder 📎 Requirement gap ⛯ Reliability
check_expired_deprecations() is explicitly a placeholder and currently cannot detect or fail CI on deprecations past their removal version. This allows overdue deprecations to merge/release without automated enforcement.
Agent Prompt
## Issue description
`check_expired_deprecations()` is a placeholder and does not detect or fail builds for expired deprecations.
## Issue Context
Compliance requires CI enforcement to prevent shipping APIs past their planned `removal` version.

2. Hardcoded current_version 🐞 Bug ✓ Correctness
DeprecationConfig.CURRENT_VERSION is hardcoded to "1.0.0", so expiration checks and "EXPIRED DEPRECATION" warnings will be wrong for the actually shipped package version. This breaks the PR’s version-tracking/CI goal because deprecations will not expire based on the real installed version.
Agent Prompt
### Issue description
`DeprecationConfig.CURRENT_VERSION` is hardcoded to `"1.0.0"`, but the package version is `1.5.87`. This makes deprecation expiry detection incorrect.
### Issue Context
The PR introduces version-aware deprecations and a CI hook (`check_expired_deprecations`). To be meaningful, the “current version” must reflect the installed distribution version (or be configurable).
### Fix Focus Areas
- src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/utils/deprecation.py[15-40]
- src/praisonai-agents/pyproject.toml[5-12]
### Suggested fix
- Replace the constant with a runtime-derived value using `importlib.metadata.version("praisonaiagents")` (with a safe fallback like `"0.0.0"` on `PackageNotFoundError`).
- Optionally allow overriding via env var (e.g. `PRAISONAIAGENTS_DEPRECATION_CURRENT_VERSION`) for CI/testing.

Syntax error in "Old Way" code example.
Line 125 contains invalid Python syntax: result = process='workflow'. This appears to be a typo or incomplete example that would confuse users trying to understand the deprecated pattern.

Please correct this example to show the actual deprecated usage pattern. Based on the context, it might be something like:
# ❌ Old Way
from praisonaiagents import process
-result = process='workflow'
+result = process.workflow(steps=[...])Or if this was meant to show a different pattern, please clarify the actual deprecated API.

CURRENT_VERSION is hardcoded and drifts from actual package version.
CURRENT_VERSION is set to "1.0.0" but the actual package version in pyproject.toml is "1.5.87". This drift undermines the expired deprecation detection intended for CI integration. For example, a deprecation with removal="1.3.0" would not be flagged as expired even though the actual version has passed it.
Consider dynamically loading the version from pyproject.toml or using importlib.metadata:
