## File-rotation-config-to-json
Convert `FileRotation` into a `JsonValue`. On the root `src` facade, this helper forwards to the concrete serializer owned by `src/file_model`.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn file_rotation_config_to_json(config : FileRotation) -> @json_parser.JsonValue {}
```
#### input
- `config : FileRotation` - File rotation config value to export.
#### output
- `JsonValue` - Structured JSON representation of the rotation policy.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- The output always includes `max_bytes` and `max_backups`.
- The root surface forwards to `@file_model.file_rotation_config_to_json(...)`, which is the real owner of this serialization logic.
- Both of those compatibility fields are exported as JSON numbers.
- If the policy carries a wide threshold from `file_rotation_i64(...)`, the output also includes `max_bytes_i64` as a JSON string for exact roundtrip transport.
- This helper serializes the rotation config object itself rather than sink availability, failure counters, or file state.
- The same JSON shape is reused by `sink_config_to_json(...)`, file sink state export helpers, and larger logger config serialization paths.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Structured Rotation Policy Export
When file rotation settings should be embedded into a larger config payload:
```moonbit
let value = file_rotation_config_to_json(file_rotation(1024 * 1024, max_backups=3))
```
In this example, the rotation policy becomes a reusable JSON value instead of final text.
#### When Need Manual Sink Config Assembly
When code is exporting only the rotation portion of a file-related config flow:
```moonbit
let rotation = file_rotation(4096, max_backups=2)
let rotation_json = file_rotation_config_to_json(rotation)
```
In this example, callers can carry the nested rotation shape without exporting a full sink config.
#### When Need Exact Wide-threshold Roundtrip
When a native large-file policy should preserve the original `Int64` threshold in JSON:
```moonbit
let rotation = file_rotation_i64(4294967296L, max_backups=2)
let rotation_json = file_rotation_config_to_json(rotation)
```
In this example, the JSON value includes the compatibility `max_bytes` view plus `max_bytes_i64` as a string.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If callers need a complete sink or logger config snapshot, this helper alone is too narrow and should be paired with `sink_config_to_json(...)` or `logger_config_to_json(...)`.
- If callers need text output rather than a JSON value, they should stringify a larger containing config instead of manually formatting this value.
### Notes
1. Use this helper when downstream code expects `JsonValue` rather than a typed `FileRotation` value.
2. Pair it with `file_rotation(...)` when building rotation policy in code before export.
3. For `file_rotation_i64(...)`, treat `max_bytes_i64` as the exact roundtrip field and `max_bytes` as the compatibility view.
