fix: refuse a backoff the coordinated lane cannot honour - #195
Conversation
Reopening a breaker with a shared `Storage` is the backend's decision, taken from `wait_duration_in_open` and its own clock. No failed-round count crosses the wire — `SharedState` carries mechanism rather than policy and has no field for one — so `wait_duration_backoff_multiplier` above 1.0 was read, validated, and then quietly dropped. The option looked enabled while every round waited exactly as long as the last, which is the trap the option exists to remove. Silence is the worst of the three answers available, so the combination is now a `ValueError` at construction: on `CircuitBreaker`, on `Registry`, and on the per-breaker `Registry.get(config=...)` override, which would otherwise slip past a registry built without one. Coordinated backoff is worth having and is tracked separately; refusing it loudly is what makes that discussion possible instead of leaving a dead option in the config.

`CircuitBreaker`, `Registry` and `Registry.get` can all refuse a backoff asked for alongside a storage, and none of their `Raises` sections said so. The override route through `get(config=...)` had no `Raises` section at all, which is the one a caller is least likely to expect.

Both nitpicks looked at, one applied. Fixed — undocumented Not doing — make the helper private. Same answer as The convention here is a private module with public names inside, not underscore-prefixed names crossing module boundaries — Worth flagging as a rule rather than a one-off: the path instruction that produced this comment reads "helpers must be underscore-prefixed and hidden", and in this repository the hiding is done by the module, not the name. It will keep firing on every helper added to a 850 tests, coverage at 100%; ruff, mypy, pyright, pyrefly and griffe clean. |
## 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
wait_duration_backoff_multiplierlanded in the current cycle and does nothing on a breaker with a sharedStorage. Reopening a coordinated breaker is the backend's decision, taken fromwait_duration_in_openand its own clock (_coordination.py:322and:530), and no failed-round count crosses the wire —SharedStatecarries mechanism rather than policy and has no field for one. A multiplier set alongside a storage was therefore read, validated, and then quietly dropped: the option looked enabled while every round waited exactly as long as the last.That is the same shape of failure the option exists to remove, so silence is the worst answer available. The combination now raises
ValueErrorat construction — onCircuitBreaker, onRegistry, and on the per-breakerRegistry.get(config=...)override, which would otherwise slip past a registry built without one.The option is unreleased, so no released configuration starts failing; this is a fix inside the same release cycle, not a breaking change.
Why not implement it here instead
Because it is a change to the storage protocol, not to this option. Making backoff work under coordination needs a failed-round count in shared state, and every
Storageimplementation has to maintain it — a design worth discussing before it is written. Opened as #196, with five approaches already weighed and their trade-offs recorded.Refusing it loudly is what makes that discussion possible: an option that silently does nothing generates no bug reports, so nothing forces the question.
