WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_navigate_database_folder needs a policy

Navigating into a database folder changes the current working directory/context within DaVinci Resolve's project database. This is a state-modifying operation (changes active folder context) rather than a pure read, but it does not delete or irreversibly alter data. It is most similar to a Write/state-change operation.
