The rule that runs ui_assert_gone safely

ui_assert_gone stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Claude Mobile, apply this rule, and every ui_assert_gone call is checked against it from then on.
