## Stringify-file-sink-state
Serialize `FileSinkState` into JSON text. On the root `src` facade, this helper forwards to the concrete stringifier owned by `src/file_model`.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn stringify_file_sink_state(state : FileSinkState, pretty~ : Bool = false) -> String {}
```
#### input
- `state : FileSinkState` - File sink state snapshot to serialize.
- `pretty : Bool` - Whether JSON should be pretty-printed.
#### output
- `String` - Serialized JSON text for the file sink state.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- `pretty=false` returns compact JSON.
- `pretty=true` returns indented JSON for human diagnostics.
- The root surface forwards to `@file_model.stringify_file_sink_state(...)`, which is the real owner of this formatting logic.
- This helper builds on top of `file_sink_state_to_json(...)`.
- The output is well-suited for support dumps, incident reports, and log snapshots.
- Typical inputs come from `FileSink::state()`, `RuntimeSink::file_state()`, or `ConfiguredLogger::file_state()`.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Human-readable File Diagnostics
When file runtime status should be printed for operators:
```moonbit
println(stringify_file_sink_state(runtime.file_state(), pretty=true))
```
In this example, the full file-state snapshot is rendered in readable JSON.
#### When Need Compact State Export
When a snapshot should stay small:
```moonbit
let text = stringify_file_sink_state(runtime.file_state())
```
In this example, compact JSON is returned without extra formatting logic.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the file is unavailable, the output still serializes normally with `available=false`.
- If callers need structured composition instead of text, `file_sink_state_to_json(...)` is the better API.
### Notes
1. Use this helper for direct textual file-state snapshots.
2. `pretty=true` is useful for operator-facing diagnostics and support output.
