Code Quality new feature

Description

Summary By MatterAI MatterAI logo

🔄 What Changed

This pull request introduces a new response header, x-powered-by-circuit-breaker-triggered, to indicate when the circuit breaker mechanism has been activated for a request.

  • A new constant CIRCUIT_BREAKER_TRIGGERED was added to RESPONSE_HEADER_KEYS in src/globals.ts.
  • The tryPost and tryTargetsRecursively functions in src/handlers/handlerUtils.ts were updated to accept and propagate an isCircuitBreakerOpen boolean parameter.
  • Inside tryTargetsRecursively, isCircuitBreakerOpen is set to true if the number of healthy targets is less than the total number of targets, indicating a circuit breaker trigger.
  • The updateResponseHeaders function was modified to append the new x-powered-by-circuit-breaker-triggered: true header to the response if isCircuitBreakerOpen is true.

🔍 Impact of the Change

This change enhances observability by providing clients with direct information about whether a request encountered a circuit breaker trigger. This can be crucial for debugging, monitoring, and understanding the health of downstream services. It allows for better client-side handling or logging when a circuit breaker is active.

📁 Total Files Changed

2 files were changed:

  • src/globals.ts
  • src/handlers/handlerUtils.ts

🧪 Test Added

No explicit tests were added or mentioned in the pull request description. The changes primarily involve propagating a new status flag and adding a response header based on existing circuit breaker logic.

🔒Security Vulnerabilities

No security vulnerabilities were detected in the provided code changes. The changes are focused on adding an informational header and do not introduce new attack surfaces or modify existing security-sensitive logic.

Motivation

To provide visibility into the circuit breaker status, allowing clients to understand if a request was affected by the circuit breaker mechanism.

Tip

Quality Recommendations

  1. Add unit tests to specifically verify that the x-powered-by-circuit-breaker-triggered header is correctly appended to the response when the circuit breaker logic is triggered (i.e., when healthyTargets.length < currentTarget.targets.length).

  2. Update the API documentation (e.g., OpenAPI specification, README, or relevant developer guides) to include the new x-powered-by-circuit-breaker-triggered response header and its possible values, ensuring consumers are aware of this new observability feature.

This PR adds a new feature to return the circuit breaker status in response headers when triggered. The implementation is clean and follows the existing patterns in the codebase. I have a few minor suggestions to improve the code.
