Why vast_archive_campaign is rated Critical
Archiving is a soft-delete operation that removes the campaign from active use. While the description notes it can be restored, it is still a destructive action that disables the campaign. The reversibility slightly reduces severity, but it remains in the Destructive category as it renders the campaign inactive and follows the same pattern as other archive tools on this server.
