What
The code that builds the error message shown when a deny rule blocks reading or copying from an artifact was consolidated into one shared helper, which now produces one of three phrasings depending on the situation: "Copying from this artifact is", "Artifact reads are", or "Reading this artifact is" blocked by a rule.
