WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why lexq_rules_reorder needs a policy

This tool modifies the priority ordering of existing rules. It changes data (rule priorities) reversibly — reordering can be undone by reordering again — so it falls under Write. Misuse could disrupt business rule evaluation order, giving it medium severity.

From the tool's definition Reorder rules by specifying rule IDs in desired order. Priorities are assigned 1...N (1-based, continuous)
