WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why lbm_archive_project needs a policy

Archiving is a reversible write operation that changes metadata/state (visibility) without irreversibly deleting data. The tool does not remove or permanently destroy data, only hides it. This is a standard Write-category operation with low severity due to limited blast radius—an accidental archive affects visibility of a monitoring project rather than causing data loss or external impact.

From the tool's definition Tool description states 'archive a project' with explicit clarification that 'Archived projects are hidden but not deleted', indicating reversible state modification rather than destructive action.
