RISK

Why timeline_convert_to_stereo is rated Medium

This tool modifies the current timeline by converting it to stereo format. It's a write/modification operation on existing project data. While potentially disruptive to the timeline configuration, it's generally reversible (can be converted back), placing it in the Write category rather than Destructive. Medium severity because misuse could alter timeline settings in unintended ways.
