 The policy manifest will be used to enforce constraints on code loaded by
 Node.js.
 
+In order to mitigate tampering with policy files on disk, an integrity for
+the policy file itself may be provided via `--policy-integrity`.
+This allows running `node` and asserting the policy file contents
+even if the file is changed on disk.
