From bf597cb7c656bce33baae4b0355e190ba4136f68 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Copilot Date: Mon, 23 Mar 2026 09:45:58 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] feat(watch): circuit breaker integration for rate limit protection (#515) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Adds rate limit protection to Ralph's watch command as an additive patch on top of the existing watch flow. No existing functions are modified. Changes: - gh-cli.ts: +ghRateLimitCheck(), +isRateLimitError() helpers - watch.ts: +CircuitBreakerState type, persistence helpers - watch.ts: +executeRound() wrapper gates existing runCheck through pre-flight quota checks (traffic light + predictive CB) - watch.ts: +roundInProgress flag prevents overlapping setInterval rounds - 16 new tests: state machine transitions, race guard, isRateLimitError State machine: closed → open (quota critical) → half-open (cooldown expires) → closed (2 consecutive successes) or re-open (429 during probe). Cooldown doubles on each failure (2m → 4m → ... → 30m cap). State persists to .squad/ralph-circuit-breaker.json.
