WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why nuxt-scaffold needs a policy

This tool creates new files (components, pages, layouts, middleware) in the project. File creation is a reversible write operation — files can be deleted afterward. It does not execute code, delete data, or involve financial transactions. Severity is medium because it modifies the project file system, potentially overwriting existing files if names conflict.
