 - This conversion unwraps the existing logger instead of rebuilding it.
 - Sink wiring, target, min level, timestamp behavior, and attached wrappers remain the same.
 - Use this when code needs full-surface APIs such as `with_timestamp(...)`, `with_filter(...)`, or `with_patch(...)`.
-- This is also the step required for configured-runtime helpers such as `flush()`, `drain()`, `pending_count()`, or file controls when the wrapped sink is `RuntimeSink`.
+- When the wrapped sink is `RuntimeSink`, unwrapping preserves that runtime sink value, but the result type is still `Logger[RuntimeSink]` rather than the `ConfiguredLogger` alias. Runtime-specific operations remain available through `full.sink` or by keeping a `ConfiguredLogger` value directly.
