WHY IT NEEDS A POLICY

Why photoshop_invert_selection needs a policy

Inverting a selection modifies the active selection state in Photoshop, which is a reversible operation (can be undone). It does not delete data, execute code, or move money — it simply changes which pixels are currently selected. This is a Write-level action with low severity since it only affects the selection state and has no destructive impact on image data.
