## Why remove_keywords is rated Medium

Removing keywords modifies metadata on photos reversibly (keywords can be re-added), making this a Write operation. The blast radius is medium as it could affect keyword organization across multiple selected photos, but it does not delete photos or irreversibly destroy data.
