February 2025: Completed Policy YAML Formatting Cleanup in stackhpc-kayobe-config, ensuring YAML syntax correctness by adding the '---' document start to policy.yaml and aligning with Tox formatting. This fixes formatting inconsistencies that previously affected CI/build and policy parsing. Implemented in commit b4d429a3222453d11dafbaf3a75b31ae250567a9.
