## Runtime-sink-file-rotation-failures
Read the number of file-rotation attempts whose critical file steps failed in a file-backed `RuntimeSink`.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn RuntimeSink::file_rotation_failures(self : RuntimeSink) -> Int {
```
#### input
- `self : RuntimeSink` - Runtime sink whose rotation-failure counter should be inspected.
#### output
- `Int` - Number of recorded rotation failures.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- Plain `File` runtime variants report the wrapped `FileSink` rotation-failure count.
- `QueuedFile` runtime variants forward the metric from the wrapped inner `FileSink`.
- Non-file runtime variants return `0`.
- For file-backed variants, the counter covers incomplete rotations caused by critical remove/rename/reopen failures, not merely policy changes or missing optional backup slots.
- The counter is cumulative until `file_reset_failure_counters()` clears it.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Rotation-specific Diagnostics
When support output should reveal whether rotation is failing:
```moonbit
let count = sink.file_rotation_failures()
```
In this example, the runtime sink exposes whether direct file rotation stopped completing its critical steps.
#### When Validate Runtime Rotation Tuning
When changed rotation settings should be checked in operation:
```moonbit
ignore(sink.file_rotation_failures())
```
In this example, callers can observe whether runtime rotation changes introduced incomplete rotations.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the runtime sink is not file-backed, the method returns `0`.
- If callers need both rotation config and failure metrics, they should combine this helper with `file_rotation_config()` or `file_state()`.
- This counter does not expose which low-level step failed inside the rotation chain.
### Notes
1. Use this helper when diagnosing incomplete direct runtime file rotations.
2. It is especially relevant when runtime rotation policy can change after startup.
