rules entry was inserted above

Error message

rules entry was inserted above

What it means

Invariant in the permissions persistence path: the code ensures a 'rules' array exists (inserting it if absent) before appending, so the subsequent lookup of that entry is expected to succeed. Firing means the insert or document mutation went wrong — a code bug, not a user-facing condition.
