WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why remove_from_cart needs a policy

Removing an item from a cart is a reversible write operation — the item can be added back. It modifies cart state but does not permanently delete data, commit a financial transaction, or execute arbitrary code. Severity is medium because misuse could disrupt a user's intended order, but the action is recoverable.
