What webots_world_reset does on Webots MCP Server

Why webots_world_reset needs a policy

Resetting the simulation to its initial state is an irreversible destructive action — all current simulation progress, robot positions, sensor states, and runtime data are wiped and cannot be recovered. While the world file remains loaded, the current simulation state is permanently discarded. This maps to Destructive rather than Execute because the outcome is fixed (reset to initial state) regardless of arguments.
