No need to change fuel requirements or add new language or whatever.
Follow the current rules.
There really wasn't a gray area at all. Masi just decided to do his own thing and the cowardly stewards backed him up. Hence creating the sh!tstorm we ended up with.
The fact that he lost his job and it required a whole inquiry as well as making a mockery of the entire season and unfairly benefitting one team, says it all.
When a crime or misdeed is committed, the solutions is not to change the rules so that it normalizes the crime, it is usually to punish the criminal so that it dissuades others from attempting the same malice.
It is also telling that the FIA saw no need to change any of those rules which further proves the damage Masi actually did.

I actually don't like the alternating Race Director. The job is not as complicated as it is now made out to be. inconsistency is going to be an issue. If they wanted to add a second director then there should be 2 at every race along with the support advisor. I guess they will be effectively be 2 at every race. We shall see what happens
