WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why mittwald_ddev_init needs a policy

Initializing a DDEV project configuration is an Execute-level action. It runs setup operations that create configuration files, modify the development environment, and trigger external tooling. While it may create files (Write), the primary action is executing an initialization process that bootstraps a development environment with potentially broad side effects beyond simple file creation.

From the tool's definition "Initialize DDEV project configuration" - initializes a DDEV project, which triggers external operations including creating configuration files, potentially modifying project settings, and bootstrapping development environment infrastructure
