The existing documentation briefly mentioned that the handle field can be used for positioning, but the behavior was ambiguous. This commit clarifies: - ADD with handle: inserts rule AFTER the specified handle - INSERT with handle: inserts rule BEFORE the specified handle - Multiple rules added at the same handle are positioned relative to the original rule, not to previously inserted rules - Explicit commands (with command wrapper) use handle for positioning - Implicit commands (without command wrapper, used in export/import) ignore handle for portability This clarification helps users understand the correct behavior and avoid confusion when using the JSON API for rule management.
