 - This helper is useful when generated setup should preserve both sink/logger behavior and async runtime behavior together.
 - The exported `logger` section keeps the full `LoggerConfig` shape, including fields that only matter on the full sync-first builder path such as the optional sync queue layer.
 - That means the JSON shape is broader than the consumption pattern of `build_async_text_logger(...)`, which only uses selected text-oriented logger fields when building the sink.

 ### Notes
 
 1. Use this helper when tools or tests need a structured JSON object instead of text.
