Fix run_rule(): clicking the menu item only opens a confirmation modal, never runs anything

The user reported runs logged as "success" locally weren't showing up
in MassPrice's own Activity Log. Live-debugged directly against
production: clicking the dropdown's "Run Rule" item opens a
confirmation modal ("Are you sure you want to continue?") rather than
running the rule immediately. Confirmed by network capture — without
clicking the modal's #Confirmation_Run button, zero requests fire, no
error is thrown, and the rule silently never runs. Every prior
"success" in run_history.json for real production traffic was
therefore a false positive.

Verified the fix live: clicking through #ConfirmationModal's
#Confirmation_Run now fires a real POST /Rule/Run request.
