v2.49.0

Breaking changes

• kosli evaluate policy --control now requires a published policy referenced via --identifier; passing --path/--policy together with --control is refused before any request is sent, since only a published, validated policy can have a decision recorded against it.

Improvements

• Updated --control flag help and command examples to clarify that recording a decision requires --identifier instead of a local policy file.
