## Runtime-sink-file-state-or-none
Read the current file sink snapshot from a `RuntimeSink` only when it is actually file-backed.
This is the truthful companion to `file_state()`. Prefer it when diagnostics or recovery logic must not confuse fallback snapshots with real file state.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn RuntimeSink::file_state_or_none(self : RuntimeSink) -> FileSinkState? {
```
#### input
- `self : RuntimeSink` - Runtime sink whose file state snapshot should be inspected.
#### output
- `FileSinkState?` - `Some(snapshot)` when the runtime sink is file-backed, otherwise `None`.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- Plain `File` runtime variants return `Some(live_snapshot)`.
- `QueuedFile` runtime variants forward the wrapped inner file sink snapshot as `Some(live_snapshot)`.
- Non-file runtime variants return `None`.
- This helper is broader than individual counters or policy reads because it returns the aggregated file snapshot without fallback synthesis.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Truthful File Health Diagnostics
When support output should include file state only for real file-backed sinks:
```moonbit
match sink.file_state_or_none() {
Some(state) => println(stringify_file_sink_state(state, pretty=true))
None => ()
}
```
In this example, no compatibility snapshot is fabricated for non-file sinks.
#### When Need State Without Queue Expansion
When code only needs the file snapshot and not queue metadata:
```moonbit
let maybe_state = sink.file_state_or_none()
```
In this example, `None` cleanly signals missing file semantics.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the runtime sink is not file-backed, the method returns `None`.
- If callers also need queue metrics for queued file sinks, prefer `file_runtime_state()`.
### Notes
1. Prefer this helper over `file_state()` for truthful runtime diagnostics.
2. `file_state()` remains available as the compatibility fallback API.
