Description

I noticed my coworker created this security rule the other day. It shows up when you view it in the UI and do incap site status, but does not show up using incap site export. Some other rules show up in the export but this one is missing.

From the status it looks like this

{
    "incap_rules": [
        ...
        {
            "action": "api.rule_action_type.rule_action_block",
            "creation_date": 1761851066000,
            "id": 9441462,
            "name": "Block requests for JS Test",
            "rule": "URL contains \"^/<%=\""
        }
        ...
}

is it something about the rule? i would hope the export contained everything.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the discrepancy with incap site status and incap site export, using the security rule shown in the report. Trace how each command retrieves and filters security rules, then compare their results. Done means incap site export includes the rule visible in status, with coverage for the missing-rule case.
