 - It does not inspect a live logger instance by itself.
 - `AsyncLogger::state()` is the higher-level API that reads these values from a concrete logger.
 - It also does not validate whether the supplied fields represent a combination that could come from one real logger instant.
+- The supplied `runtime : AsyncRuntimeState` is stored exactly as provided; this constructor does not recompute `mode` or `background_worker` from the active backend.
 - The constructed value matches the same public shape used by async logger serializers.
 - Because `AsyncLoggerState` is only a data snapshot type, this constructor is mainly useful for tests, adapters, and synthetic diagnostics rather than ordinary logger inspection.
 - Serialization helpers accept any `AsyncLoggerState` value, including hand-built ones from this constructor.

 - If callers manually combine a runtime snapshot, counters, or flush policy that do not actually belong together, the constructor still accepts that synthetic snapshot.
 
+- If callers want the current backend-derived runtime pair instead of a synthetic one, they must pass `async_runtime_state()` explicitly or use `AsyncLogger::state()`.

 - This constructor does not apply cleanup semantics such as clearing `last_error` on restart or draining pending records; callers must provide those fields exactly as they want them represented.
