that's it. that's the whole vibe check. one function, one job, she ate 💅

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• policy — the policy whose elements are getting freed. and listen, this one comes with a (NOT NULL) stamp on it 😭 so do not roll up with a NULL and expect a cute little no-op, because that is not the move, periodt. hand her a real, valid policy or don't come at all 💀
