WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why duplicateWorkouts needs a policy

This tool creates copies of existing workouts on a plan, which is a reversible write operation (new data is created, but nothing is deleted or irreversibly modified). Misuse could clutter plans with unwanted duplicate workouts, but the action is reversible by deleting duplicates.
