WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why cart_suspend_with_journal needs a policy

The tool performs a write operation by suspending (changing state of) a cart and creating a journal entry. While suspension could theoretically be reversed, the journal entry creation is a permanent record of the action. However, the cart suspension itself is a state change that can be undone (cart can be resumed), making this Write rather than Destructive.

From the tool's definition cart_suspend_with_journal - Suspends a cart and creates a journal entry. This modifies cart state and creates associated journal records, representing reversible data changes to the commerce system.
