Why meshes_delete_rule needs a policy

The tool performs an irreversible deletion of a routing rule. While the deletion itself does not destroy data, it permanently removes configuration that governs event routing behavior in the Meshes integration layer. This is a destructive action that cannot be undone without recreating the rule, making it more severe than a reversible Write action.
