## File-sink-write-failures
Read the number of write failures recorded by a `FileSink`. This helper is useful for diagnosing direct runtime write-path problems.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn FileSink::write_failures(self : FileSink) -> Int {
```
#### input
- `self : FileSink` - File sink whose write-failure counter should be inspected.
#### output
- `Int` - Number of recorded write failures.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- The sink reports its recorded write-failure count directly.
- The counter is cumulative until reset.
- This helper is observation-only and does not mutate sink state.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Runtime Write-path Diagnostics
When support output should show whether direct writes have been failing:
```moonbit
let count = sink.write_failures()
```
In this example, callers get a focused signal for direct file write-path health.
#### When Compare Sink Health After Recovery
When recovery logic should verify whether new failures still occur:
```moonbit
ignore(sink.write_failures())
```
In this example, the metric helps measure whether runtime writes improved after intervention.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If callers need a fuller view of file health, `state()` may be a better API.
- This counter does not itself distinguish open-path issues from write-path issues.
### Notes
1. Use this helper for focused write-failure visibility.
2. Pair it with `flush_failures()` when diagnosing direct output-path instability.
