Cost & Infinite Loop Protection in Multi-Agent Systems: Circuit Breakers & Budget Caps
Prevent expensive ping-pong token loops and API runaway bills with max iterations, recursion limits, and automated circuit breakers.

Always enforce `recursion_limit` (e.g. 25 steps) and timeout bounds. If two agents bounce the same subtask 3 times without progress, the circuit breaker trips and alerts a human operator.
