 - It shares the same stable field names used by `stringify_async_logger_state(...)`.
 - The state must already have been captured or constructed before serialization.
 - Serialization preserves whatever snapshot combination it receives, including failure flags together with remaining backlog counts.
+- This helper never rereads a logger instance by itself. If callers pass an older or manually constructed `AsyncLoggerState`, the JSON reflects that provided value exactly rather than refreshing fields from live runtime state.
+- It also does not normalize mixed diagnostic combinations. If the provided snapshot says `is_closed=true` together with retained `has_failed=true`, `last_error`, or non-zero backlog counters, those exact combinations are emitted unchanged.

 - If `has_failed` is `true`, serialization does not force `pending_count` to `0` or clear `last_error`; it reports the snapshot exactly as provided.
 
+- If callers need newer logger data, they must capture a fresh `AsyncLogger::state()` first instead of expecting JSON conversion itself to refresh stale fields.

 ### Notes
 
 1. This helper preserves the nested runtime snapshot instead of flattening `mode` and `background_worker` onto the top level.
