## Runtime-sink-file-reset-policy
Reset the runtime file policy of a `RuntimeSink` back to its original defaults. This helper restores append, auto-flush, and rotation policy together on direct sink values.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn RuntimeSink::file_reset_policy(self : RuntimeSink) -> Bool {
```
#### input
- `self : RuntimeSink` - Runtime sink whose file policy should be restored.
#### output
- `Bool` - Whether the reset was applied.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- Plain `File` runtime variants restore their stored default file policy and return `true`.
- `QueuedFile` runtime variants forward the reset behavior to the wrapped inner `FileSink` and return `true`.
- Non-file runtime variants return `false`.
- This helper is the inverse of runtime policy drift, not a generic reopen or flush action.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need To Undo Runtime Policy Changes
When file policy should return to the original defaults captured by the runtime sink:
```moonbit
ignore(sink.file_reset_policy())
```
In this example, append, auto-flush, and rotation settings are restored together.
#### When Use Drift-aware Recovery
When reset should only happen after runtime changes:
```moonbit
if !sink.file_policy_matches_default() {
ignore(sink.file_reset_policy())
}
```
In this example, reset is only applied when runtime policy has diverged.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the runtime sink is not file-backed, the method returns `false`.
- If callers need to restore only one setting, a narrower setter may be more appropriate than a full policy reset.
### Notes
1. Use this helper when the original bundled file policy should be restored intact.
2. It pairs naturally with `file_policy_matches_default()` and `file_default_policy()`.
