Why storage_restore_path_permissions is rated Medium
Restoring permissions is reversible (permissions can be changed again) and does not permanently delete data, so it falls under Write rather than Destructive. The blast radius is medium: incorrect permission restoration could expose sensitive files or lock out legitimate users, but the operation itself is not irreversible and does not move money or execute arbitrary code.
