// WRONG: Can't mix phase-specific actions
await client.rulesets.create({
  phase: 'http_request_firewall_custom',
  rules: [
    { action: 'block', expression: 'cf.waf.score gt 50' },
    { action: 'execute', action_parameters: { id: 'managed_id' } }, // WRONG
  ],
});

// CORRECT: Separate rulesets per phase
await client.rulesets.create({ phase: 'http_request_firewall_custom', rules: [...] });
await client.rulesets.create({ phase: 'http_request_firewall_managed', rules: [...] });

// Common mistakes
'http.request.path' → 'http.request.uri.path' // Correct field
'ip.geoip.country eq US' → 'ip.geoip.country eq "US"' // Quote strings
'http.user_agent eq "Mozilla"' → 'lower(http.user_agent) contains "mozilla"' // Case sensitivity
'matches ".*[.jpg"' → 'matches ".*\\.jpg$"' // Valid regex

// WRONG: Trying to skip managed rules from custom phase
// In http_request_firewall_custom:
{
  action: 'skip',
  action_parameters: { ruleset: 'current' },
  expression: 'ip.src in {192.0.2.0/24}',
}
// This only skips remaining custom rules, not managed rules

// CORRECT: Skip specific phases
{
  action: 'skip',
  action_parameters: {
    phases: ['http_request_firewall_managed', 'http_ratelimit'],
  },
  expression: 'ip.src in {192.0.2.0/24}',
}

// WRONG: This deletes all existing rules!
await client.rulesets.update({
  zone_id: 'zone_id',
  ruleset_id: 'ruleset_id',
  rules: [{ action: 'block', expression: 'cf.waf.score gt 50' }],
});

// CORRECT: Get existing rules first
const ruleset = await client.rulesets.get({ zone_id: 'zone_id', ruleset_id: 'ruleset_id' });
await client.rulesets.update({
  zone_id: 'zone_id',
  ruleset_id: 'ruleset_id',
  rules: [...ruleset.rules, { action: 'block', expression: 'cf.waf.score gt 50' }],
});

// List managed ruleset rules to find IDs

  ruleset_id: 'efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee',
});
console.log(ruleset.rules.map(r => ({ id: r.id, description: r.description })));

// Use correct IDs in overrides
{ action: 'execute', action_parameters: { id: 'efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee', 
  overrides: { rules: [{ id: '5de7edfa648c4d6891dc3e7f84534ffa', action: 'log' }] } } }

// Error: "Invalid phase" → Use exact phase name

}

// Error: "Action not supported" → Check phase/action compatibility
// 'execute' only in http_request_firewall_managed
// Rate limit config only in http_ratelimit phase

// Error: "Expression parse error" → Common fixes:
'ip.geoip.country eq "US"'   // Quote strings
'cf.waf.score gt 40'         // Use 'gt' not '>'
'http.request.uri.path'      // Not 'http.request.path'
