## Queued-sink-dropped-count
Read the cumulative dropped-record count from a `QueuedSink[S]`. This helper exposes the direct sink-level loss metric when a bounded queue overflows.
### Interface
```moonbit
pub fn[S] QueuedSink::dropped_count(self : QueuedSink[S]) -> Int {
```
#### input
- `self : QueuedSink[S]` - Queued sink whose cumulative dropped-record metric should be inspected.
#### output
- `Int` - Number of dropped records reported by the queue wrapper.
### Explanation
Detailed rules explaining key parameters and behaviors
- The counter value comes from `self.dropped_count.val`.
- It increases when the queue is full and an incoming record cannot be kept without applying overflow handling.
- The counter is cumulative for the lifetime of the concrete queued sink value.
- This helper does not explain why drops happened beyond exposing the count.
### How to Use
Here are some specific examples provided.
#### When Need Direct Queue Loss Visibility
When a bounded queue may discard records under pressure:
```moonbit
if sink.dropped_count() > 0 {
println("queue dropped records")
}
```
In this example, direct queue loss becomes visible without inspecting internal fields manually.
#### When Compare Overflow Tuning Changes
When queue capacity or overflow policy should be checked operationally:
```moonbit
ignore(sink.dropped_count())
```
In this example, callers can compare the cumulative drop metric across different queue settings.
### Error Case
e.g.:
- If the queue never overflows, this counter remains `0`.
- If callers need a higher-level wrapper around runtime-configured sinks, `RuntimeSink::dropped_count()` or `ConfiguredLogger::dropped_count()` may fit better.
### Notes
1. This helper reports cumulative loss, not the exact overflow moment.
2. Pair it with `pending_count()`, `drain()`, and queue configuration when investigating pressure.
