## Logger-debug
Emit a debug-level record through the synchronous logger. This is the convenience wrapper for `log(Level::Debug, ...)`.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn[S : Sink] Logger::debug(self : Logger[S], message : String, fields~ : Array[Field] = []) -> Unit {}
```
#### input
- `self : Logger[S]` - Logger that should emit the debug record.
- `message : String` - Debug message text.
- `fields : Array[Field]` - Optional structured fields attached to the record.
#### output
- `Unit` - No return value. The record is handled according to the logger threshold and sink pipeline.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- This helper delegates to `log(Level::Debug, ...)`.
- Debug logging is useful for development diagnostics that are usually too verbose for normal production visibility.
- Per-call target override is not exposed here; use `log(...)` for that level of control.
- All logger wrappers remain active exactly as they would for the base `log(...)` path.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Internal State Diagnostics
When implementation details should be observable during debugging:
```moonbit
logger.debug("cache refreshed")
```
In this example, the call site signals a development-focused diagnostic event.
#### When Attach Structured Debug Fields
When a debug event should carry explicit state:
```moonbit
logger.debug("session loaded", fields=[field("user_id", "42")])
```
In this example, the logger emits structured state without using the fully explicit `log(...)` form.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the logger minimum level is above `Debug`, the call returns without writing a record.
- If the event needs a custom target override, use `log(...)` instead of this shortcut.
### Notes
1. Prefer this helper when debug intent is more readable than a raw `log(Level::Debug, ...)` call.
2. Use `is_enabled(Level::Debug)` when building the debug payload is expensive.
