Whats the best way to perserve your reliability in COOP?

Sometimes I treaty with an AI faction, but my friend will declare war on that AI faction, and invite me, which absolutely ruins your reliability rating, you can't refuse to join the war when your friend invites you, making it a really good way to compete with your friend, as you can sabotage their diplomatic rating giving you a competitive edge over them.

Now one way is to just not treaty with AI at all, but sometimes you need trade agreements or want a nonaggression pact or defensive alliance, but you can't honor the treaty if your friend drags you into a war with the AI you treaty with unless there's a way to decline to join wars when your friend invites you, I'm not sure how to play around this. Any ideas?

Ooof, going into a reworked Empire blind? Yeah, that'd screw you over real fast. Fair enough. Now you know for next time though.

Yep, I had to learn how the mechanic worked while being screwed over by it, that rework practically destabilized my faction for the whole game until I started to understand how it worked, it was too late by then, but next time I'd have a better understanding how to play around it.
