Why cancel_equity_order needs a policy

Cancelling an order is an irreversible action — once cancelled, the original order no longer exists and cannot be reinstated. In a trading context, this could cause missed market opportunities, change a user's financial position strategy, or disrupt carefully timed trades. While it doesn't move money directly, the irreversibility and financial impact place it firmly in Destructive.
