Add pool-wide circuit breaker to the worker pool

CHANGELOG.md

 ### Added
 
-- New `haiku-ingester` service for continuous document ingestion: persistent SQLite job queue, async worker pool with retries and a dead-letter queue, FS/HTTP/S3/WebDAV source adapters with per-source circuit breakers, and a FastAPI control plane on `127.0.0.1:8765` exposing `/health`, `/sources`, `/jobs`, `/dlq`, `/stats`, and a browser dashboard at `/`. Configured under `ingester:` in `haiku.rag.yaml`. Shipped behind the `[ingester]` extra, with Logfire spans (`ingester.poller.sweep` and `ingester.poller.watch_event` → `ingester.job` → `document.{fetch,convert,chunk,embed,store}`, plus `document.convert_slice` per slice when splitting) for traceable ingestion. See [docs/ingester.md](docs/ingester.md).
-- Browser dashboard at `GET /` on the ingester's control plane. Single self-contained HTML page (no CDN, no external assets — works offline). Polls every 3s and renders: queue chips (queued / claimed / succeeded / dead), per-source state (last polled, circuit-breaker, "queue busy" badge when sweeps are skipped), rolling throughput (5m / 30m / 1h succeeded), worker occupancy, oldest queued age, per-source backlog and DLQ counts, currently-claimed jobs with cancel, recent failures with retry, and the last-completed feed. Dashboard route is unauthenticated; the JS attaches the bearer token to its own JSON fetches on a `401` (token stored in `localStorage`).
-- `GET /stats` endpoint on the ingester control plane: rolling counts of succeeded jobs (last 5m / 30m / 1h), worker occupancy (`busy` / `total`), oldest queued job age in seconds, and per-source breakdowns of DLQ size and queue depth. One SQL aggregation per field; cheap to poll.
-- `processing.split_pages` (default `0`): split large PDFs into N-page slices, convert each independently through docling-local or docling-serve, and merge with `DoclingDocument.concatenate()`. Bounds peak working set on memory-hungry docs and lets multiple docling-serve replicas parallelize per-document. `0` disables (single-pass conversion).
+- `haiku-ingester` service for continuous document ingestion.

Configured under `ingester:` in `haiku.rag.yaml`; shipped behind the `[ingester]` extra. See [docs/ingester.md](docs/ingester.md).
+- `processing.split_pages` (default `0`): split PDFs into N-page slices, convert each, merge via `DoclingDocument.concatenate()`. `0` disables.
+- Logfire spans for ingestion: `ingester.poller.sweep`, `ingester.poller.watch_event`, `ingester.job`, `document.{fetch,convert,chunk,embed,store}`, `document.convert_slice`.
 
 ### Removed
 
-- File monitor (`haiku.rag.monitor` module, `MonitorConfig`, `S3MonitorEntry`, `AppConfig.monitor`). The `--monitor` flag on `haiku-rag serve` is gone — continuous ingestion now lives in `haiku-ingester serve`. Migrate `monitor.directories` to `ingester.sources[type=fs]` and `monitor.s3` to `ingester.sources[type=s3]`; the `delete_orphans` / `ignore_patterns` / `include_patterns` keys keep their meaning on the per-source entry.
+- File monitor (`haiku.rag.monitor`, `MonitorConfig`, `S3MonitorEntry`, `AppConfig.monitor`, `haiku-rag serve --monitor`). Migrate `monitor.directories` to `ingester.sources[type=fs]` and `monitor.s3` to `ingester.sources[type=s3]`.
 
 ### Changed
 
-- `haiku-rag serve` renamed to `haiku-rag mcp` (only MCP is left). `--mcp-port` renamed to `--port`. Update any `claude_desktop_config.json` from `["serve", "--mcp", "--stdio"]` to `["mcp", "--stdio"]`.
-- `document.metadata` now uses source-agnostic keys: `source_revision` (was `etag` — S3-only and never populated for FS, so periodic sweeps re-ingested every file) and `content_type` (was `contentType`, snake_case for consistency). The v0.50.0 startup migration rewrites existing documents and compacts the `documents` table at the end so per-row UPDATE tombstones don't keep the table at roughly doubled size for the default 24-hour vacuum retention window (measured `12 GB → 25 GB` mid-migration on a 1000-doc PDF corpus, reclaimed back to `12 GB` by the in-migration compaction). All four source adapters (FS, HTTP, S3, WebDAV) now write their native revision (mtime_ns, ETag, etc.) under the same key, fixing the regression where FS sources never short-circuited on unchanged files.
-- Ingester pollers skip their periodic sweep when the source already has queued or claimed jobs in the queue — saves the listing round-trip (`PROPFIND` / `S3 LIST` / FS walk) when work is backed up. FS push events from `watchfiles` keep flowing during skipped sweeps. Visible in Logfire as `ingester.poller.sweep` spans with `skipped=true reason=pending_work`.
-- Ingester now drains in-flight jobs on `SIGINT` / `SIGTERM` up to `workers.shutdown_grace_s` (default 60s) before cancelling. Cancelled jobs release their claim back to `queued` (and decrement `attempts` since a cancel isn't a failure) so the next process picks them up immediately instead of waiting on the reaper's `claim_timeout_s`. Bonus: the pipeline no longer wraps `KeyboardInterrupt` / `SystemExit` / `CancelledError` as `TransientError` — those now propagate as intended.
-- `providers.docling_serve.base_url` now accepts a list. Jobs round-robin across the entries with each job's submit/poll/result pinned to one instance (task IDs are instance-local). The counter is per-process; for cross-process load balancing or failover, put an LB in front and pass a single URL here.
-- `GET /health` now returns `workers_alive` and `pollers_alive` (counts of tasks still running) alongside the configured `worker_count` and `poller_count`. `status` is `"ok"` when both shortfalls are zero and `"degraded"` when a worker or poller has died — a DB-only liveness probe couldn't distinguish "process alive but doing nothing" from "process alive and healthy", and uptime monitors can now alert on the degraded state directly.
-- FS source rejects any URI whose resolved path escapes the configured `root` directory. `supports()` returns `False`, `head()` returns `None`, and `fetch()` raises `UnsupportedSourceError`. `discover()` walks with `os.walk(followlinks=False)` and skips file-level symlinks, so a symlink under the watched root pointing at `/etc/passwd` (or any path outside the root) can't be ingested. Defense-in-depth for deployments where the watched directory is multi-writer.
-- Logfire spans emitted by haiku.rag now report `instrumentation_scope.name = "haiku.rag"` (was the SDK default `logfire`). Cross-library instrumentations (pydantic-ai, docling-serve, etc.) keep their own scopes. Downstream consumers filtering OTel traces by source library can now match on `scope.name = haiku.rag` instead of catching everything the SDK exports.
-- Drop `list_documents` and `get_document` from the default RAG skill's tool set; the skill now exposes only `search` and `cite`. Both tools dumped unbounded content into the agent's context (full document lists, full document bodies) and `get_document` returned no chunk_ids so its output was structurally uncitable. The analysis skill already covers these uses programmatically — `await list_documents()` and `Path('/documents/{id}/content.txt').read_text()` inside `execute_code`. The tool branches remain in `create_skill_tools` and the `skill_generator` `AVAILABLE_TOOLS` set so users can still opt in when building custom skills.
+- `haiku-rag serve` renamed to `haiku-rag mcp`. `--mcp-port` renamed to `--port`.
+- `document.metadata` keys renamed: `etag` → `source_revision`, `contentType` → `content_type`. v0.50.0 startup migration rewrites existing documents and compacts the `documents` table at the end (12 GB → 25 GB mid-migration on a 1000-doc PDF corpus, reclaimed back to 12 GB).
+- `providers.docling_serve.base_url` now accepts a list. Jobs round-robin across the entries; each job's submit/poll/result pinned to one instance.
+- `DoclingServeClient.submit_and_poll` and `submit_and_poll_zip` no longer wrap `httpx` errors into `ValueError`. `httpx.ConnectError`, `HTTPStatusError`, `TimeoutException`, etc. propagate with their type intact.
+- Logfire spans report `instrumentation_scope.name = "haiku.rag"` (was the SDK default `logfire`).
+- Default RAG skill exposes only `search` and `cite`. `list_documents` and `get_document` are still available in `create_skill_tools` and `skill_generator`'s `AVAILABLE_TOOLS` for custom skills.
