What is FaultRay and how does it work?

FaultRay simulates cascade failures on dependency graphs using LTS—no production impact. Proves propagation, availability caps.

Can FaultRay handle cyclic dependencies?

Yes—depth limit of 20 ensures termination, realistic for infra loops like health checks.

Is FaultRay ready for production use?

Research prototype now; strong proofs suggest enterprise potential soon, especially DORA teams.
