## Summary
We ideally shouldn't make it to this point in the first place, but if we
do try to append a rule that already exists, we shouldn't append the
same rule twice.
## Testing
- [x] Added unit test for this case
We decided that `*.rules` is a more fitting (and concise) file extension
than `*.codexpolicy`, so we are changing the file extension for the
"execpolicy" effort. We are also changing the subfolder of `$CODEX_HOME`
from `policy` to `rules` to match.
This PR updates the in-repo docs and we will update the public docs once
the next CLI release goes out.
Locally, I created `~/.codex/rules/default.rules` with the following
contents:
```
prefix_rule(pattern=["gh", "pr", "view"])
```
And then I asked Codex to run:
```
gh pr view 7888 --json title,body,comments
```
and it was able to!
this PR
- adds a helper function to amend `.codexpolicy` files with new prefix
rules
- adds a utility to `Policy` allowing prefix rules to be added to
existing `Policy` structs
both additions will be helpful as we thread codexpolicy into the TUI
workflow
