## Queue-overflow-policy
`QueueOverflowPolicy` is the public enum that defines what a synchronous queue should do when it reaches `max_pending`. It is a direct alias to the queue model enum used by both `QueuedSink` and `QueueConfig`.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub type QueueOverflowPolicy = @utils.QueueOverflowPolicy
```
#### output
- `QueueOverflowPolicy` - Public synchronous queue overflow enum with the variants `DropNewest` and `DropOldest`.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- This is a type alias, not a separate policy wrapper.
- `QueueOverflowPolicy::DropNewest` keeps the existing queued records and drops the incoming one when the queue is full.
- `QueueOverflowPolicy::DropOldest` removes one pending record and enqueues the new record instead.
- The same enum is used by code-side queue composition through `queued_sink(...)` and config-driven queue composition through `QueueConfig::new(...)`.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need A Bounded Queue That Prefers Older Pending Records
When the oldest pending records should be preserved and new bursts can be dropped:
```moonbit
let sink = queued_sink(console_sink(), max_pending=32, overflow=QueueOverflowPolicy::DropNewest)
```
In this example, new records are discarded once the queue is full.
#### When Need To Prefer Fresh Records Over Old Pending Work
When backlog should make room for newer records:
```moonbit
let queue = QueueConfig::new(32, overflow=QueueOverflowPolicy::DropOldest)
```
In this example, the oldest pending record is removed when the queue overflows.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If a queue is unbounded or never reaches capacity, the overflow policy has no effect.
- If parsed JSON uses unsupported overflow text, config parsing raises `ConfigError`.
### Notes
1. This policy belongs to synchronous queue wrappers, not `bitlogger_async`.
2. Use `AsyncOverflowPolicy` for the async logger queue behavior.
