Module — 7 operations
Activate, deactivate, switch theme, update and install — acting on the site’s own extensions, behind the same gates as everything else.
Needs: SiteHelm Pro on a licensed site.
Activate, deactivate and theme-switch snapshot the state they replace and restore it through every forward guard, so a rollback refuses on the same grounds a forward call would. The updates and installs say plainly that they cannot be rolled back, because WordPress has no clean way back to an older version.
Installing takes a WordPress.org slug and nothing else. There is no argument that accepts a URL, a zip or a file path, the only address ever fetched is the download link WordPress.org itself answers with, and what lands is stored deactivated — a theme is never made live by its install.
A site that sets DISALLOW_FILE_MODS or DISALLOW_FILE_EDIT refuses the four file writes by name, and keeps the three that only flip an option.
Every one of these is previewed before it runs, snapshotted before it changes anything, and verified afterwards by reading the site back. The chips are the policies the operation itself declares.

content-write
Switches one plugin off, snapshotted and reversible, and refuses a network-activated plugin for the same reason
needs activate_plugins
