## Parse-and-build-library-logger

Parse raw JSON config text and build a `LibraryLogger[RuntimeSink]` in one step. This facade is the text-driven library counterpart to `parse_and_build_logger(...)`.

### Interface

```moonbit
pub fn parse_and_build_library_logger(
  input : String,
) -> LibraryLogger[RuntimeSink] raise ConfigError {
```

#### input

- `input : String` - Raw JSON logger config text.

#### output

- `LibraryLogger[RuntimeSink]` - Library-facing wrapper around the configured runtime logger.

### Explanation

Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors

- This API parses config text, validates it, builds the configured logger, and wraps it as a library facade.
- The returned facade keeps a narrower surface than the underlying configured logger.
- `to_logger()` can be used to recover the underlying full logger object when necessary.

### How to Use

Here are some specific examples provided.

#### When Need Text-driven Library Bootstrapping

When a reusable package wants config text input but a narrow logger facade output:
```moonbit
let logger = parse_and_build_library_logger(
  "{\"min_level\":\"warn\",\"target\":\"lib\",\"sink\":{\"kind\":\"console\"}}",
)
```

In this example, parsing and library-facade construction happen in one call.

### Error Case

e.g.:
- If the JSON text is malformed, a `ConfigError` is raised.

- If the parsed config is invalid, a `ConfigError` is raised before the library facade is returned.

### Notes

1. This is the narrow library-oriented parse-and-build sync entry point.

2. Use `build_library_logger(...)` when the config is already typed.
