 ## New Feature
-
-### ResilientHttpClient (mytheclipse-http, resilience)
-File: `crates/mytheclipse-http/src/resilient_client.rs`
-- `ResilientHttpClient` — reqwest Client + ServiceBuilder pipeline (retry/circuit/timeout)
-- `ResilientClientConfig` — timeout, max_attempts, rate, circuit_breaker
-- `send(req)` / `get(url)` / `post(url, body)` — all run through ServiceBuilder::run
-- Error type `RunError<Box<dyn Error>>` (HttpError alias)
-- 2 tests
+### ResilientHttpClient (mytheclipse-http, resilience feature)
+- File: `crates/mytheclipse-http/src/resilient_client.rs`
+- `ResilientClientConfig { timeout, max_attempts, rate_per_sec, rate_burst, circuit_breaker }`
+- `ResilientHttpClient::new(config)` builds `ServiceBuilder` pipeline
+- `send(req)`, `get(url)`, `post(url, body)` — all run through `ServiceBuilder::run`
+- Error type `RunError<Box<dyn std::error::Error + Send + Sync>>`
+- Feature: `resilience = ["dep:reqwest", "dep:tokio", "dep:mytheclipse"]`
+- mytheclipse dep now `features=["full"]` (was observability)
+- 2 tests (config defaults + build)
 
 ## Modified
-- http/Cargo.toml: +resilience feature, mytheclipse dep features=full
-- http/lib.rs: +module +export
-- core/lib.rs: pub use RunError, ServiceConfig from service_builder
+- http/Cargo.toml — resilience feature + mytheclipse full features
+- http/lib.rs — module + re-export
+- core/lib.rs — pub use RunError, ServiceConfig (needed by http crate)
+- error.rs — RateLimit(String) variant (queue crate, round 6 carryover)
