Passthrough. `FlagRaw` bypasses formatting and sanitization: the message reaches
the sink exactly as the source produced it, with no timestamp, level or source
prefix added. An entry that also carries `fields` gets the fields JSON appended
verbatim after a single space — `raw` never drops data and never re-encodes it.

Byte-exact transport needs a source that does not split the line: the `console`
source, or the `file` source with `raw = true`. Both put the whole line —
newline included — in the message and leave `fields` empty. The `file` source's
JSON branch splits a line into message and fields, so `raw` reassembles it as
`<msg> <fields>` rather than reproducing the original object.

## Structured Fields
When an entry carries `Fields` (raw JSON), the formatter parses it and switches
to structured rendering by adding the `StructuredJSON` flag automatically.
Fields reach a pipeline in two ways: from the `file` source when a tailed line
parses as JSON with a `fields` key, and from the heartbeat generator when
`include_stats = true`.
