WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why convert_3to4 needs a policy

Converting a project from Godot 3.x to 4.x format modifies project files and scripts extensively. While it transforms existing data, it is a write/modification operation rather than purely destructive (original files may be preserved or overwritten). However, the conversion overwrites many files in-place and could be considered partially destructive if no backup is made.
