## Configured-logger-file-default-policy-or-none
Read the default runtime file policy from a `ConfiguredLogger` only when it is actually file-backed.
This is the truthful companion to `file_default_policy()`. Prefer it when default-policy inspection should not fabricate a fallback object on non-file sinks.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn ConfiguredLogger::file_default_policy_or_none(self : ConfiguredLogger) -> FileSinkPolicy? {}
```
#### input
- `self : ConfiguredLogger` - Config-driven runtime logger whose default file policy should be inspected.
#### output
- `FileSinkPolicy?` - `Some(policy)` when the configured sink is file-backed, otherwise `None`.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- File-backed sinks return `Some(default_policy)` through the wrapped `RuntimeSink`.
- Queued file sinks forward the wrapped inner file sink default policy as `Some(default_policy)`.
- Non-file sinks return `None`.
- This helper is useful when callers need to compare runtime drift or restore defaults without fabricating file semantics.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Truthful Baseline Policy Visibility
When tooling should inspect defaults only for real file-backed sinks:
```moonbit
let defaults = logger.file_default_policy_or_none()
```
In this example, `None` means the configured logger has no file default policy.
#### When Compare Current And Default Policy Truthfully
When diagnostics should avoid fallback policy objects:
```moonbit
match (logger.file_policy_or_none(), logger.file_default_policy_or_none()) {
(Some(current), Some(defaults)) => ignore((current, defaults))
_ => ()
}
```
In this example, comparisons happen only when real file semantics exist.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the configured sink is not file-backed, the method returns `None`.
- If callers only need a drift boolean, `file_policy_matches_default()` remains simpler.
### Notes
1. Prefer this helper over `file_default_policy()` for truthful runtime diagnostics.
2. `file_default_policy()` remains available as the compatibility fallback API.
