commit 1f93d8c9bf4515732421b23dbb33afb4a736e4a8
Author: LEI-LEI <[email protected]>

Fixes issue #869 where circuit breaker never opens despite backend errors.
(#876)
* fix: implement feedback loop for circuit breaker state transitions (#869)
Fixes issue #869 where circuit breaker never opens despite backend errors.
Root Cause:
- entry.Exit() was called in Decode phase before backend response
- Missing error reporting to Sentinel state machine
Solution:
- Store Sentinel entry in HttpContext instead of immediate Exit()
- Implement Encode phase to check response status and report errors
- Entry-Exit now brackets complete request lifecycle for accurate stats
Changes:
- Modified Decode to store entry in ctx.Params
- Added Encode to call entry.SetError() for 5xx responses
- Ensures proper latency and error tracking
Testing:
- Added comprehensive test suite with 7 test cases
- All tests pass including error ratio and slow request scenarios
Fixes #869
