Writes an archived version's `document` back as the guardrail's live policy, which archives it again as a **new** version rather than rewinding the counter — so an approval item or exception citing any version in between still resolves.

The restore runs through the ordinary update path, so the archived document is re-validated; restoring the policy the guardrail already holds is a no-op and archives nothing.
