Houhou: A Zero-Dependency TypeScript Library for Async Resilience
Houhou is a ~500 LOC TypeScript library that wraps any async function with retry, timeout, and circuit breaker policies without changing the function signature. It supports fixed or exponential backoff, jitter, and fallback functions. The library is dependency-free and designed for lightweight integration.

While houhou solves a real pain point, its value depends on adoption and maintenance; many similar libraries have faded due to lack of community traction.
