4//! Circuit breaker pattern using recloser crate.
5//!
6//! Provides protection against cascading failures when external services
7//! (Redis L2, MySQL L3) are unhealthy. Wraps async operations and tracks
8//! failure rates to automatically "trip" the breaker when thresholds are exceeded.
9//!
10//! States:
11//! - Closed: Normal operation, requests pass through
12//! - Open: Service unhealthy, requests fail-fast without attempting
13//! - HalfOpen: Testing if service recovered, limited requests allowed
