Round 8 forensics caught the healthy source circuit-opened by five
random empty completions (~20% ambient failure rate makes a 5-streak
land every ~3000 attempts), blacking out the only good source for 60s.
When the window holds min_calls samples below the failure-rate
threshold, a streak is noise and no longer opens the gate; cold-start
and low-traffic semantics are unchanged and sudden death of a warm
source is still caught by the rate channel.
Dual-channel opening: consecutive failures (CHS-compatible, no streak
bump) plus windowed failure rate (two 30s buckets, min_calls guard).
429s bypass both channels as backpressure, and a probe hitting 429
releases instead of holding the lease. Open duration doubles per
rate/probe reopen up to max_cooldown_s, decaying after stable CLOSED.
record_success gains count_attempt so bad-result successes stay out of
the window.
Includes config aggregation for multi-source env keys, from_env and
from_settings factories with explicit shared-backend injection,
gather_bounded, top-level exports, tightened import-linter layers with
the gate removed from the Makefile, and the finalized .env.example.
