Requests to running actors share the ext_proc circuit breaker with the parking lot; a synchronized burst above the headroom fails closed in Envoy's ext_proc filter (status_on_error, 500 by default) with no router signal.

Doc only: the signal, the admin stats that count it, sizing --extproc-max-requests. The router sets max_requests only; max_connections and max_pending_requests keep Envoy's 1024 default.

A burst of requests to running actors above the headroom fails closed in
Envoy's ext_proc filter, which the router never sees. Say so and how to
size the flag.
