WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why resolve_set_timeline_mark_in_out needs a policy

Mark in/out points are reversible edits that change project state (Write category). The severity is medium because misconfigured in/out marks could affect rendering/export scope, but they don't delete data, execute code, or cause financial impact. Confidence is 0.85 because the description is clear about the action (set marks) though it doesn't exhaustively detail all side effects.

From the tool's definition Tool modifies timeline state by setting mark in/out points, which are editing parameters that affect the timeline view and export regions without deleting or destroying underlying media.
