WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why vast_unarchive_zone needs a policy

The tool modifies existing data (a zone's status) in a reversible manner by restoring it from archived to active state. This is a Write operation rather than Destructive because the change can be undone (e.g., by re-archiving), and no data is permanently deleted or overwritten.

From the tool's definition 'Restore an archived VAST zone back to active status' — this operation reverses an archive action, modifying the state of a zone from archived to active.
