## Runtime-sink-file-write-failures
Read the number of write failures recorded by a file-backed `RuntimeSink`. This helper is useful for direct runtime diagnostics around the file write path.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn RuntimeSink::file_write_failures(self : RuntimeSink) -> Int {
```
#### input
- `self : RuntimeSink` - Runtime sink whose write-failure counter should be inspected.
#### output
- `Int` - Number of recorded write failures.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- Plain `File` runtime variants report the wrapped `FileSink` write-failure count.
- `QueuedFile` runtime variants forward the metric from the wrapped inner `FileSink`.
- For `QueuedFile`, enqueueing a record does not increment this counter by itself. The counter changes only when queued records are actually drained into the inner file sink, such as through `file_flush()`.
- Non-file runtime variants return `0`.
- The counter is cumulative until `file_reset_failure_counters()` clears it.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Runtime Write-path Diagnostics
When support output should show whether file writes have been failing:
```moonbit
let count = sink.file_write_failures()
```
In this example, callers get a focused signal for direct runtime file write-path health.
#### When Compare Sink Health After Recovery
When recovery logic should verify whether new failures still occur:
```moonbit
ignore(sink.file_write_failures())
```
In this example, the metric helps measure whether runtime writes improved after intervention.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the runtime sink is not file-backed, the method returns `0`.
- If callers need a fuller view of file health, `file_state()` or `file_runtime_state()` may be better APIs.
### Notes
1. Use this helper for focused direct runtime write-failure visibility.
2. Pair it with `file_flush()` and `file_flush_failures()` when diagnosing queued output-path instability.
