WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why vtex_archive_promotion needs a policy

From the tool's definition Tool archives a promotion by modifying its state/status rather than permanently deleting it. The term 'archive' indicates a reversible action that changes data state, distinct from 'delete' or 'purge' which would be Destructive.
