Implement Circuit Breaker Pattern for External Services #628

@fejilaup-cloud

Description

@fejilaup-cloud

Implement circuit breaker pattern to prevent cascading failures when external services (oracles, databases) become unavailable, with automatic recovery.

Requirements

  • Testing: Simulate service outages, recovery scenarios, state transitions
  • Documentation: Add circuit breaker configuration to integration-guide.md
  • Support half-open state with test requests

Implementation Details

  • Add state machine (Closed -> Open -> Half-Open) to CircuitBreaker
  • Implement failure threshold (5 failures) and success threshold (2 successes)
  • Add timeout for state transitions (30s in open state)
  • Create metrics emission for circuit state changes
