WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why pbip_fix_broken_visuals needs a policy

This tool modifies Power BI report files by updating visual references to point to renamed tables. It rewrites existing visual definitions, which is a reversible write operation (the old references are replaced with new ones). However, the blast radius is high because incorrect fixes could break multiple visuals across reports, potentially corrupting the report layout or rendering for end users.
