Submits a policy for review, approves, publishes, archives or supersedes it with separation of duties enforced.

> Requires **Do** mode. Fibo writes back to the platform, one change at a time, and confirms first.

## Example prompts

- "Submit the incident response policy for review"
- "Publish the access control policy"
- "Archive the old remote work policy and supersede it with v3"

## What you get back

A recorded lifecycle transition with the actor, timestamp and a blocked message if the same person tries to both review and publish.

## Limits

Approval is blocked for placeholder or near-empty content. Unpublishing has a 24-hour cooling-off window.
