Why import_invoice_items needs a policy

Importing invoice items creates or modifies financial records in a time-tracking/billing system. This is a Write operation (reversible modification) rather than Destructive because imports typically don't delete existing data. However, it could have medium-to-high severity depending on whether it overwrites or merely adds items. Without documentation, confidence is moderate (0.75).
