The code that builds that prompt now takes one extra setting at the end. When that setting is used, these rule lists are left empty instead of being filled in:\n\n- `allow`\n\n- `soft_deny`\n\n- `hard_deny`\n\n- environment rules\n\n**Why**\n\nThe classifier can now be run without your own auto-mode rules in its instructions. If a classifier decision ignores rules you configured, this is one place where that can happen.\n\n- Area: Auto Mode\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
