Results depend on the tool, the model and what you enter.

Your prompt
Help me design a circuit breaker for a dependent interface.
Dependency: [Dependency]
Today: [Today]
Impact: [Impact]
Steps: 1. Read calls, timeouts, retries and what users see on failure. 2. Define thresholds for error rate and wait time that open the breaker. 3. Decide what the open state returns: fallback, queue or a clear error. 4. Describe the half-open probe and when it closes again. 5. Separate the breaker from blind retries and from bulkheads. 6. Name dashboards and alerts.
Output: thresholds, state behaviour, fallback, boundary vs retries and monitoring.
Take particular care to open early, fall back cleanly and probe with control.
