The plain-English version
A policy that temporarily stops or limits calls to a repeatedly failing dependency and probes for recovery.
Why it matters
It can reduce repeated failure load and shorten an unhelpful wait.
Let’s make it click
A service returns a defined fallback after its dependency has consistently timed out.
Vibe Bro’s heads-up
A breaker needs clear failure classification, recovery conditions, and user-visible behavior; it should not silently convert errors into incorrect success.

Supported: Circuit breakers bound calls to repeatedly failing dependencies and need explicit recovery/fallback semantics.
