Replace Polly with Kevlar - #3980
Conversation
BREAKING CHANGE: Advanced.WithRetryPolicy is replaced by Advanced.WithRetryShield and accepts Kevlar Shield instances or factories.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe change replaces Polly with Kevlar shields across package references, module configuration, execution, HTTP handling, CLI tooling, tests, and documentation. It renames advanced shield APIs and internal resilience-shield state. ChangesKevlar resilience migration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to This migration changes module and HTTP resilience behavior from Polly to Kevlar. The current implementation may change circuit-breaker activation semantics and can mishandle extreme retry delays, so these issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging; migration and lifecycle documentation also need minor corrections.

- Line 870: Update the RetryPolicy migration table entry to show the required
arguments in both replacement examples: use Configure().WithRetry(count, ...)
and .Advanced.WithRetryShield(shield), preserving the existing API guidance.
In `@README.md`:
- Line 230: Update the feature-list entry in README.md at lines 230-230 from
“Retry policies” to shield terminology such as “Retry shields” or “Resilient
retries”; make the same terminology change in README_Template.md at lines
189-189 so generated documentation stays consistent.
In
`@tools/ModularPipelines.OptionsGenerator/src/ModularPipelines.OptionsGenerator/TypeDetection/ResilientCliCommandExecutor.cs`:
- Around line 74-79: Update the CircuitBreaker configuration in
ResilientCliCommandExecutor to use a consecutive-failure threshold by replacing
the failure-ratio and throughput settings with ConsecutiveFailures set to
circuitBreakerThreshold. Adjust the circuit-breaker tests to verify interleaved
failures remain closed and five consecutive circuit-observed failures open the
circuit, accounting for retries occurring outside the breaker.

Kevlar .NET 0.3.0 CircuitBreaker FailureRatio MinimumThroughput implementation
💡 Result:
There is no widely recognized.NET library named "Kevlar" that implements a Circuit Breaker pattern with "FailureRatio" or "MinimumThroughput" properties. The terms "FailureRatio" and "MinimumThroughput" are, however, core configuration properties of the Circuit Breaker strategy in Polly, the popular.NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library [1][2]. In Polly, the Circuit Breaker works as follows: - FailureRatio: Specifies the proportion of handled exceptions (failures) relative to total actions that must occur within the sampling window to trip the circuit (open it) [1][2]. - MinimumThroughput: Defines the minimum number of total executions that must occur within the specified SamplingDuration before the FailureRatio is even considered [1][2]. If the throughput is below this threshold, the circuit will not break, regardless of the failure rate [3][1]. It is highly likely that the query conflates a different name with the functionality provided by Polly [3][1]. Existing projects named "Kevlar" include an Android security toolkit [4][5], a genomic variant discovery tool [6], and a Rust test harness [7], none of which are.NET circuit breaker libraries. If you are using Polly, you can configure these options as follows [2]: var circuitBreakerOptions = new CircuitBreakerStrategyOptions { FailureRatio = 0.5, // 50% failure threshold MinimumThroughput = 10, // Must have at least 10 requests SamplingDuration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30), BreakDuration = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10) }; var pipeline = new ResiliencePipelineBuilder.AddCircuitBreaker(circuitBreakerOptions).Build;

GitHub Kevlar .NET "MinimumThroughput" "FailureRatio"
💡 Result:
The terms MinimumThroughput and FailureRatio are core configuration properties of the Circuit Breaker pattern implementation in the Polly library for.NET, rather than a project named Kevlar [1][2][3]. While there is a research project called KevlarFlow related to fault-tolerant Large Language Model serving, it is distinct from the Polly circuit breaker configuration [4]. In Polly, these parameters define how the circuit breaker monitors and reacts to failures [1][3]: FailureRatio: This is a value between 0 and 1 representing the proportion of actions that must result in a handled failure to trigger the circuit to break (open) [3][5]. For example, a value of 0.5 means the circuit will break if 50% of sampled executions fail [1][3]. MinimumThroughput: This specifies the minimum number of total executions that must occur within the SamplingDuration before the circuit breaker will consider the statistics significant enough to trigger a state change [1][3]. Crucially, if the number of requests processed during the SamplingDuration is less than the MinimumThroughput, the FailureRatio is ignored, and the circuit will not break, even if every request fails [1][2][6]. This prevents the circuit from opening due to insufficient data or low traffic volumes [1][5].

"Kevlar" ".NET" "CircuitBreaker"
💡 Result:
There is no authoritative.NET library or framework known as Kevlar that implements the Circuit Breaker pattern [1][2][3]. The term Kevlar in a.NET context appears to be unrelated to resilience patterns, and in some external contexts, it refers to the material or specialized hardware components rather than software libraries [4][5]. For implementing the Circuit Breaker pattern in.NET, the industry-standard and most widely used library is Polly [1][6][3]. Polly provides comprehensive support for resilience strategies, including circuit breakers, retries, timeouts, and bulkhead isolation [6][7][3]. If you are looking for guidance on implementing circuit breakers in.NET, the following resources are recommended: - Official Microsoft documentation on implementing resilient applications using Polly [1]. - The official Polly documentation for circuit breaker strategies [6]. Other niche implementations exist (such as CircuitBreaker.Net), but Polly remains the primary recommendation for production environments due to its active maintenance, broad feature set, and integration with the.NET ecosystem [1][2][3].

"Kevlar" "FailureRatio" C#
💡 Result:
The term Kevlar is not a standard programming concept in C# or a recognized property name in resilience patterns. It is likely a confusion with other software names or concepts [1][2][3][4]. However, the property FailureRatio is a widely used configuration parameter in C# resilience libraries, most notably in Polly, the standard.NET resilience and transient-fault-handling library [5][6]. In the context of the Polly Circuit Breaker strategy: FailureRatio is a double (typically 0.0 to 1.0) that determines the proportion of actions resulting in a handled exception or failure that will cause the circuit to open (break) [5][6][7]. For example, a value of 0.5 means the circuit will break if 50% or more of sampled executions fail [6][7]. Important behavioral notes for FailureRatio in Polly: 1. Minimum Throughput: The FailureRatio is only evaluated if the number of requests processed within the SamplingDuration meets or exceeds the MinimumThroughput [5][6][8]. If this threshold is not met, the circuit will not open, regardless of how high the failure rate is [5][8]. 2. Sampling Duration: This defines the time window over which the failure-to-success ratio is calculated [5][7]. 3. Best Practices: Microsoft recommends setting a relatively high FailureRatio (e.g., 0.5 or higher) as a conservative default to avoid prematurely opening the circuit due to transient failures [7]. If you are seeing the term Kevlar in your codebase, it may be a custom internal library, a misspelling, or a reference to a specific third-party tool like PsDotNet.Kevlar, which is an Adobe Photoshop automation library for.NET, and is unrelated to resilience patterns [1][2].

Use a consecutive-failure circuit breaker.
FailureRatio = 0.5 with MinimumThroughput = 5 opens the circuit when 3 of 5 observed outcomes fail. Configure ConsecutiveFailures = circuitBreakerThreshold instead, and test interleaved failures remain closed while five consecutive failures open the circuit. Retries run outside the circuit breaker, so base tests on circuit-observed outcomes.

Greptile SummaryThe PR replaces Polly with Kevlar for module execution, HTTP resilience, and OptionsGenerator command handling while retaining the standard retry configuration surface.
Confidence Score: 5/5The PR appears safe to merge. No blocking failure remains.

its ExecuteAsync description states that execution is governed by timeout
handling and the configured resilience shield, rather than referring only to
timeout and retry policies. Keep the surrounding hook behavior unchanged and
acknowledge that the shield may compose strategies beyond retries.

Align the execution phase with the resilience-shield description.
Line 21 still says ExecuteAsync runs through timeout and retry policies, while these lines state that hooks wrap the complete resilience shield. Update phase 8 to mention timeout handling and the configured resilience shield.
The PR objectives state that shields can compose resilience strategies beyond retries.

Summary
Advanced.WithShield(...)Why
This migration is so that the open source maintenance fee does not dissuade people from using ModularPipelines.
Kevlar shields can compose retries, circuit breakers, timeouts, fallbacks, rate limits, concurrency limits, and other resilience strategies. The API is therefore named
WithShield, rather than coupling it to retries.Validation
ModularPipelines.Tests.slnfRelease build passedModularPipelines.Build.csprojRelease build passedFull core test-project run exceeded the agent guard's fixed 2 GB process-tree limit, so focused affected test classes were run instead. Formatting verification also reports pre-existing unrelated formatting findings and an unsupported F# fixture project.
Breaking change
Advanced.WithRetryPolicy(IAsyncPolicy)is replaced byAdvanced.WithShield(Shield). Consumers using the advanced Polly surface must migrate custom policies to Kevlar shields.Summary by CodeRabbit
