Why refresh_taxonomy_snapshots needs a policy

The tool writes taxonomy snapshots to a Memory Library when dry_run=false. It creates/updates persistent data structures (snapshots) derived from active facts and sessions. The dry_run default reduces risk, but the live mode performs a write operation. Not destructive as it builds/creates rather than deletes, and not execute as it's a structured data write rather than arbitrary code execution.
