WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why strings_reopen_job needs a policy

Reopening a completed job modifies its state (from completed back to active/open), which is a reversible write operation. It does not delete data or execute code, and has moderate blast radius if misused as it could disrupt workflow states for translation jobs.
