**Part of:** [Pams](subsystem-pams)

NuGet package dependency

Serilog.Sinks.File is a NuGet package dependency declared by `Pams.API.csproj`. It enables the Pams API to write Serilog log events to file-backed sinks configured by the .NET application.

    participant Client
    participant API as Pams API
    participant Logger as Serilog
    participant FileSink as Serilog File Sink

    Client->>API: Send request
    API->>Logger: Write log event
    Logger->>FileSink: Persist event to log file
```

## Usage

```ts
const response = await fetch("/api/pams", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "Content-Type": "application/json",
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    action: "create",
  }),
});

if (!response.ok) {
  throw new Error("Pams API request failed");
}

// Request handling is logged by the API through Serilog.Sinks.File.
```

## AI Coding Instructions

- Keep the `Serilog.Sinks.File` package reference in `Pams.API.csproj`.
- Configure file sink settings in the API's Serilog configuration rather than from client code.
- Do not import this NuGet package from TypeScript or JavaScript; it runs within the .NET API process.
- Check that the API process has write access to the configured log file path.
