WalkthroughChangesBreaker behavior
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to This PR changes HALF_OPEN probe settlement and adds configurable retry backoff, but coordinated breakers still use ordinary failure handling and fixed retry timing, while oversized multipliers can leave a breaker OPEN indefinitely and degraded local admission can still reopen it incorrectly. These availability and recovery issues make the current head unsafe to merge until fixed or explicitly accepted by the owners. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

The diff from main adds only Full details: Docs And Llm MirrorExplanation The PR changes public configuration and integration behavior. The PR diff updates Full details: Tests Accompany Behaviour ChangeExplanation Production Python behavior changed under interlock/, and the same PR changes tests/ in six test modules. Added regression tests cover both behaviors. Without the production change, tests/test_state_machine.py::test__half_open__inconclusive_probe__returns_slot_without_verdict would raise TypeError because the base StateMachine.record has no unreachable parameter. tests/test_state_machine.py::test__open__consecutive_failed_rounds__wait_duration_grows would also fail because the base Config has no wait_duration_backoff_multiplier field. The test-accompaniment condition is satisfied. Full details: Public Api SurfaceExplanation No breaking public API change was introduced. The ✨ Finishing Touches 💡 1🛠️ Fix failing CI checks 💡

Inline comments:
In `@CHANGELOG.md`:
- Around line 11-16: Update the changelog entry describing HALF_OPEN probe
behavior to remove the claim that an unreachable dependency can no longer keep
the breaker open indefinitely. State instead that an individual unreachable or
inconclusive probe does not determine the probe-round verdict, while preserving
that rounds with only inconclusive probes return to OPEN and may repeat the OPEN
→ HALF_OPEN → OPEN cycle.
In `@docs/guides/states.md`:
- Around line 61-63: Update the configuration reference to document
wait_duration_backoff_multiplier and wait_duration_in_open_max with their
defaults and validation rules, then regenerate docs/llms-full.txt from the
updated documentation.
- Around line 53-54: Define the NoLocalSlot exception in the example before
constructing CircuitBreaker and Registry, so both unreachable_exceptions
references resolve when the sample is copied and executed.
In `@interlock/_engine.py`:
- Line 492: Update the shared-storage HALF_OPEN probe flow around
admission.probe and notify_probe_outcome so an unreachable leased probe is
explicitly recorded as inconclusive rather than skipped. Add the corresponding
Storage operation to return/account for the lease, and transition the shared
breaker back to OPEN once the configured inconclusive-probe budget is exhausted.
- Line 100: Validate unreachable_exceptions in __init__ before assigning it to
_unreachable_exceptions, rejecting any entry that is not an Exception subclass
while accepting valid exception classes. This prevents _settle() from failing
during outcome handling and preserves probe-slot cleanup.
In `@interlock/_state_machine.py`:
- Around line 273-274: Update the half-open transition logic in the
state-machine method containing the _probes_inconclusive check so _open() is not
called while any valid probe remains in flight. Defer reopening until all
permitted probe calls have completed, preserving successful results from
original in-flight probes and avoiding a generation change that discards them.
In `@interlock/breaker.py`:
- Line 79: Document the public constructor argument unreachable_exceptions in
the Args sections of interlock/breaker.py at lines 79-79 and
interlock/registry.py at lines 58-58, stating that it affects HALF_OPEN probe
accounting only and does not exclude failures while CLOSED.
In `@interlock/config.py`:
- Around line 85-96: Update the timing validation in the configuration
initializer around wait_duration_backoff_multiplier and
wait_duration_in_open_max to explicitly reject NaN values, using an appropriate
finite/NaN check before relational comparisons. Ensure invalid NaN timing values
raise ValueError during configuration while preserving existing validation for
ordinary numeric values.
In `@interlock/integrations/httpx2.py`:
- Line 93: Add sync and async regression tests in tests/test_httpx2.py for
CircuitBreakerTransport and AsyncCircuitBreakerTransport, respectively,
verifying that httpx2.PoolTimeout is classified as an unreachable HALF_OPEN
probe and follows the expected core error translation path. Follow the transport
test conventions and requirements documented in AGENTS.md.
In `@tests/test_state_machine.py`:
- Around line 651-656: Update _fail_probe_round in tests/test_state_machine.py
at lines 651-656 and the inconclusive probe test in tests/test_state_machine.py
at lines 780-791 so each permitted probe is admitted with and asserts
machine.acquire() immediately before recording its outcome; preserve the
respective failure and inconclusive outcomes.

A HALF_OPEN probe asks one question — has the dependency recovered? — and every failure was taken as its answer, including failures that never left the process: no free connection in the local pool, no bulkhead permit. Whenever the local cause outlives the outage that opened the breaker, the question becomes unanswerable — each probe round fails on the local cause, the breaker returns to OPEN, and the cycle repeats for the life of the process, however healthy the dependency has become. Only a restart clears it. Such a call is now recorded through the new `unreachable` flag on StateMachine.record, which hands the probe's slot back without a verdict instead of counting a failure the probe never observed. Recording it as a success would be the mirror-image lie, so the outcome is dropped. The round still has to end: once as many probes have come back inconclusive as the round permits, the breaker re-opens, because nothing was learned and waiting is the only honest move left. CLOSED is deliberately untouched — there an exhausted pool is usually the dependency holding connections open, and shedding load is exactly what should happen. The httpx and httpx2 transports pass PoolTimeout that way out of the box; other guards take the set through `unreachable_exceptions` on CircuitBreaker, Registry and Engine. Alongside it, the open wait can now grow. wait_duration_in_open was a constant, so a breaker that could not recover retried at full rate indefinitely, each round hammering a dependency already in trouble. Config.wait_duration_backoff_multiplier lengthens the wait after each consecutive failed round and Config.wait_duration_in_open_max caps it; a passing round resets both. The default multiplier of 1.0 keeps the historical constant wait, so nothing changes until it is raised.

…aker The round counter grew without limit while the wait it feeds was capped, so a ceiling did not protect anything: with `wait_duration_in_open_max` set, the wait stops growing but the exponent does not, and a dependency broken for a few days walks it into float's range. `wait_duration_in_open * multiplier ** rounds` then returns infinity — later raising OverflowError outright — `_wait_elapsed()` is never true again, and the breaker stays OPEN for the life of the process. That is the exact failure this branch set out to remove, reintroduced through the mechanism meant to soften it. Growth now stops at 64 rounds. Any sane multiplier has passed every ceiling long before, so nothing is lost, and the exponent stays far from the range where the arithmetic breaks.

Inline comments:
In `@docs/guides/states.md`:
- Around line 87-89: Update the growth-stop explanation in the states guide to
state that 64 failed rounds bound exponent growth, while
wait_duration_in_open_max applies only when the calculated wait reaches that
cap; remove the claim that the cap is necessarily reached by then, including for
the default multiplier of 1.0.
In `@interlock/_engine.py`:
- Line 57: Rename the shared helper validate_unreachable_exceptions to
_validate_unreachable_exceptions in the engine module, and update its import and
usages in registry.py to match; keep the behavior unchanged and ensure the
underscore-prefixed helper is not exposed as public API.
- Around line 501-505: The unreachable classification in _admit() must treat
local fallback admissions from admission.probe as unreachable even when
coordinator exists, while preserving coordinated admissions and other paths.
Update the condition around _unreachable_exceptions to exclude only probe
admissions as appropriate, and add a regression test covering a storage-degraded
local HALF_OPEN pool-timeout probe returning its local slot instead of reopening
the breaker.
- Line 70: Update the construction path for validate_unreachable_exceptions to
reject non-tuple containers and normalize or validate the value before storing
it, so _settle always receives a tuple suitable for isinstance. Preserve
validation of individual exception entries and ensure HALF_OPEN local probe
settlement can record or release normally.
In `@interlock/breaker.py`:
- Line 86: Update the public constructor docstrings for unreachable_exceptions
in interlock/breaker.py (line 86) and interlock/registry.py (line 66) to
document TypeError for invalid exception-class entries, while retaining the
existing ValueError documentation.
In `@interlock/config.py`:
- Line 45: The coordinated breaker path must honor
wait_duration_backoff_multiplier when shared storage is configured. Update the
coordinated state and storage handling used by begin_half_open_if_elapsed to
track failed probe rounds and calculate the backoff, or explicitly reject this
configuration during Config validation; do not leave the setting silently
ignored.
- Line 73: Update Config construction validation around
wait_duration_backoff_multiplier to reject values whose maximum supported
failed-round duration is not finite, including oversized finite multipliers such
as 1e308, before exponentiation can overflow or produce infinity. Preserve
existing minimum validation and add regression coverage confirming oversized
multipliers are rejected.

Correct the cap explanation.
wait_duration_backoff_multiplier=1.0 is the documented default, so the wait never grows and cannot reach wait_duration_in_open_max. Multipliers close to 1.0 can also remain below the cap after 64 rounds. State that 64 rounds bound exponent growth and that the cap applies only when the calculated wait reaches it.
As per path instructions, user-facing documentation must match the current public API and behavior.

Apply open-wait backoff in coordinated mode.
When Config is used with shared storage, this setting has no effect. interlock/_coordination.py:314-317 always passes self._config.wait_duration_in_open to begin_half_open_if_elapsed. It does not provide failed-round state or the multiplier. A coordinated breaker therefore retries every failed probe round after the base wait.
Track failed rounds in coordinated state and storage, or reject this option when storage is configured.

wait_duration_backoff_multiplier when shared storage is configured. Update the

… limits - A *leased* probe is what must keep its plain verdict, not any probe taken while a coordinator exists. When storage degrades, admission falls back to the local machine with no lease to strand, and the old check still suppressed the inconclusive path there. `admission.probe` marks exactly the leased ones. - Reject a multiplier whose backoff stops being a finite number: an infinite wait never elapses, so the breaker could never leave OPEN. Checked at construction, where the offending value is in front of the caller. - Reject a non-tuple container for `unreachable_exceptions`: `isinstance` raises its own TypeError on a list, which would surface on the first real failure instead of here. - Document the TypeError contract on both public constructors. - Say plainly that the backoff is local: under shared storage the coordinated lane reopens on the base wait and keeps no failed-round count.

The peak-wait check exponentiates, and `Config()` is on a measured path. At the default multiplier of 1.0 there is no backoff to validate — the peak is the base wait — so both multiplier guards now sit behind a single comparison and the arithmetic only runs when a caller asked for a backoff.
## Summary Prepare the `2.8.0` minor release. * Bump the package version from `2.7.0` to `2.8.0`. * Move the current `[Unreleased]` changelog entries into `[2.8.0] - 2026-09-01`, in the Added-before-Fixed order every other section uses. * Update the changelog comparison links, and the release version and month on the comparison page. * Regenerate `docs/llms-full.txt`. Minor, not patch: the release adds public API. #194 gives `Config` an open wait that can grow — `wait_duration_backoff_multiplier` and `wait_duration_in_open_max` — and gives `CircuitBreaker`, `Registry` and `Engine` an `unreachable_exceptions` set, so a `HALF_OPEN` probe that never reached the dependency hands its slot back instead of deciding the round against it. #195 refuses, at construction, a backoff asked for alongside a shared `Storage`, which the coordinated lane has no way to honour. Nothing an existing caller does stops working. The defaults keep the historical behaviour: `wait_duration_backoff_multiplier` is `1.0`, so the wait stays constant until it is raised, and only the two httpx transports pass a non-empty `unreachable_exceptions` out of the box (`PoolTimeout`). The new `ValueError` cannot reach a caller who upgrades either — the multiplier it guards ships in this same release, so no configuration written against `2.7.0` can trip it. The two changes are released together on purpose. Shipping the backoff without the guard would leave an option that reads as enabled and does nothing under a shared `Storage`, and adding the guard afterwards would then be the breaking change. ## Checklist * [x] Tests added or updated (suite stays at 100% coverage) * [x] `uv run ruff format --check` and `uv run ruff check` pass * [x] `uv run mypy`, `uv run pyright` and `uv run pyrefly check` pass * [x] Docs updated (`docs/`) for user-facing changes * [x] `CHANGELOG.md` `[Unreleased]` updated * [x] Commits follow Conventional Commits Additional release checks: the package build passes (`interlock_cb-2.8.0`), `twine check` PASSED on both artefacts, and griffe reports the `VERSION` attribute (`2.7.0` → `2.8.0`) as the only public difference — the backoff fields and `unreachable_exceptions` are additions, so nothing is flagged as a breakage. ## Related issues #194, #195
Summary
A
HALF_OPENprobe asks one question — has the dependency recovered? — and every failure was taken as its answer, including failures that never left the process: no free connection in the local pool, no bulkhead permit.Whenever the local cause outlives the outage that opened the breaker, that question becomes unanswerable. Each probe round fails on the local cause, the breaker returns to
OPEN, and the cycle repeats for the life of the process — however healthy the dependency has become in the meantime. Nothing short of a restart clears it, and from the outside the wedged breaker looks identical to a healthy one riding out a blip.The fix. Such a call is now recorded through a new
unreachableflag onStateMachine.record, which hands the probe's slot back without a verdict instead of counting a failure the probe never observed. Recording it as a success would be the mirror-image lie, so the outcome is dropped. The round still has to end: once as many probes have come back inconclusive as the round permits, the breaker re-opens — nothing was learned, so waiting is the only honest move left.CLOSEDis deliberately untouched. There an exhausted pool is usually the dependency holding connections open, and shedding load is exactly what should happen — the reasoning already recorded next to_EXCLUDED_EXCEPTIONSstill holds. The distinction is not about the exception, it is about the question being asked.The httpx and httpx2 transports pass
PoolTimeoutthat way out of the box. Other guards take the set throughunreachable_exceptionsonCircuitBreaker,RegistryandEngine. A caller that owns its ownRegistryhas to pass it there, the same caveat that already applies toclassifier.Backoff.
wait_duration_in_openwas a constant, so a breaker that could not recover retried at full rate indefinitely, each round hammering a dependency already in trouble.Config.wait_duration_backoff_multiplierlengthens the wait after each consecutive failed round andConfig.wait_duration_in_open_maxcaps it; a passing round resets both. The growing interval doubles as a signal: a breaker waiting out a blip looks nothing like one that has failed ten rounds in a row.The default multiplier of
1.0keeps the historical constant wait, so nothing changes until it is raised.griffe checkreports no public-API breakage — every addition is an optional parameter or a newConfigfield with a default. Suggested as a minor release.Prior art in this codebase
release_probe()already draws exactly this distinction for cancellation:"Wedged there for good" is the failure mode. Local resource exhaustion belongs in the same category; it simply had no way to say so.
