recordSuccess only reset the counter when leaving half-open. In the closed state a success left it untouched, and recordFailure only cleared it when two failures were more than failureWindowMs apart. Under steady load a provider succeeding ~95 percent of the time still tripped, because each scattered failure landed inside the window opened by the previous one. Observed on a hosted proxy that returns the occasional 502: a handful of real upstream errors produced a stretch of 1,119 consecutive circuit_breaker_open fast-fails, and mem::compress reached 22,400 calls against 15,086 failures. Almost none of those failures were the provider being down. Counts failures since the last success instead, and moves the thresholds into config so a deployment behind a flaky upstream can widen them without a rebuild. Defaults go from 3 failures / 30s recovery to 10 / 15s: three scattered failures is not evidence that a hosted LLM proxy is unavailable. After the change, on the same install: 8 genuine upstream timeouts, 0 fast-fails. Adds a regression test that 100 calls at a 5 percent failure rate keep the breaker closed, and one that a genuinely failing provider still opens it. This is a different mechanism from rohitg00#1259 and rohitg00#1277, which filter which errors are counted as failures in resilient.ts; this fixes the counter never being reset by success in circuit-breaker.ts. The three compose. Signed-off-by: reddeye1337 <reddeye1337@users.noreply.github.com>

… open A request already in flight when another request opened the breaker still reaches recordSuccess. Clearing openedAt there left the breaker open with no recovery deadline, so isAllowed could never promote it to half-open and the provider stayed down permanently. Successes in the open state are now ignored. Also stops a non-positive env override from silently selecting the legacy 3 / 60s / 30s fallbacks: safeParseInt returns 0 and negatives verbatim, which CircuitBreaker rejects in favour of its own defaults rather than the configured ones. Both from review feedback on this PR. Signed-off-by: reddeye1337 <reddeye1337@users.noreply.github.com>

recordSuccess()only resets the failure counter when leavinghalf-open. In theclosedstate a success leaves it untouched, andrecordFailure()clears it only when two failures are more thanfailureWindowMsapart:Under steady load that means the counter is not "failures in the last minute", it is "failures since the last minute-long gap in failures". A provider succeeding ~95% of the time still trips, because each scattered failure lands inside the window opened by the previous one, and the successes in between never clear it.

circuit_breaker_openfast-fails, andmem::compressreached 22,400 calls against 15,086 failures. Almost none of those failures were the provider being unavailable — the breaker was the thing failing them.The blast radius is wide because
ResilientProviderwraps compress and summarize for every caller, so one flaky upstream silently disables compression, summarization and graph extraction together.What this changes
recordSuccess()clearsfailures/lastFailureAtin the closed state too, so the window means "since the last success".AGENTMEMORY_CIRCUIT_FAILURE_THRESHOLD,_FAILURE_WINDOW_MS,_RECOVERY_TIMEOUT_MS) so a deployment behind a flaky upstream can widen them without a rebuild.Relationship to the PRs already open
Both #1259 and #1277 change which errors count as failures, in
src/providers/resilient.ts— 429s and content-filter rejections respectively. This changes the counter never being reset by success, insrc/providers/circuit-breaker.ts. Different files, different mechanism; all three compose, and none of them alone fixes the others.Result
Same install, after the change: 8 genuine upstream timeouts, 0 fast-fails. Breaker state stayed
