## Async-logger-close
Close the async logger queue and stop treating the logger as an active enqueue target. This API is the low-level lifecycle close primitive behind shutdown flows.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn[S] AsyncLogger::close(self : AsyncLogger[S], clear? : Bool = false) -> Unit {}
```
#### input
- `self : AsyncLogger[S]` - Async logger that should be closed.
- `clear : Bool` - Whether pending records should be abandoned immediately instead of being left for drain behavior.
#### output
- `Unit` - No return value. The logger lifecycle state is updated in place.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- `close(...)` marks the logger as closed immediately.
- `clear=false` closes the queue without explicitly abandoning pending records in the helper itself.
- `clear=true` counts pending records as dropped and resets `pending_count` to `0` before closing the queue.
- This helper does not itself wait for the worker to finish.
- `close(...)` also does not change `has_failed()` or `last_error()`; it is a closure primitive, not a failure reset API.
- Because this is a low-level close primitive, it does not first run `wait_idle()` or apply the runtime-dependent fallback logic used by `shutdown()`.
- After closure, later log attempts do not add new pending or dropped counts, but backend behavior can still differ before the closed queue rejects the record.
- In the current direct coverage, compatibility runtimes short-circuit before patch-path work on late log attempts, while native-worker runtimes may still build and patch the record before the closed queue rejects it.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Immediate Queue Closure
When teardown should stop normal enqueue activity right away:
```moonbit
logger.close()
```
In this example, the logger enters closed state immediately.
#### When Need To Abandon Backlog Explicitly
When pending records should be discarded during fast shutdown:
```moonbit
logger.close(clear=true)
```
In this example, queued backlog is counted as dropped instead of waiting for further drain.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If `clear=true`, pending records are intentionally discarded and contribute to `dropped_count()`.
- If `clear=false`, pending records may still exist after closure until worker drain or later cleanup resolves them.
- If callers perform late log attempts after closure, backlog counters still stay unchanged, but patch-path side effects are runtime-dependent and should not be treated as a portable post-close contract.
- If callers need graceful waiting for drain completion, `shutdown()` is usually the better API.
### Notes
1. This is a low-level lifecycle helper; prefer `shutdown()` for normal graceful teardown.
2. Use `clear=true` only when backlog loss is an acceptable shutdown tradeoff.
3. Pair it with `pending_count()`, `dropped_count()`, or `state()` when you need to observe what happened to existing backlog after closure.
