How do I take my turn?

1. Take and place tokens (Mandatory): Take 3 tokens from any one of the Central board spaces [1][2]. 2. Place these 3 tokens on your Personal board however you see fit, following the rules, performing optional actions between token placements if desired [1]. 3. You may optionally choose 1 Animal card from the 5 faceup cards in the center of the table and place it above your Personal board (only once per turn) [3]. 4. If taking an Animal card, take as many Animal cubes from the reserve as there are spaces to be filled on that card and place 1 cube on each space [3]. 5. You may optionally perform the action to place Animal cubes onto your Landscape multiple times at any time during your turn, once you have recreated their required Habitats [4]. 6. At the end of your turn, return the remaining 6 tokens to the box and refill each of the 3 spaces with 3 tokens [5]. 7. If you did not take an Animal card on this turn, you may discard 1 Animal card from the center of the table and replace it with the top card from the draw pile [5]. 8. Refill the Central board and refill the row of Animal cards so there are 5 cards faceup, if needed [6].

retrieval — what the search arm returned

score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. This ruling ran the THREE-ARM fuse (full-text + vector + the doc-priority boost arm, which carried the base rulebook and/or the errata corrections this query matched), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.04918 — all three arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). The measured healthy band 0.016–0.033 was measured on TWO-arm asks and does not bound this one: its high end is the two-arm ceiling, and a third arm has room above it. A chunk only one arm ranked highly lands near 0.016 (that one arm's #1 vote), so 0.03 here is an excellent hit, not a 3% match.

per-arm ranks (the rank each search arm gave a chunk): NOT DISCLOSED by the gateway. Fusion happens gateway-side and only the FUSED score crosses the wire, so rulesage cannot show them without a gateway change. The rank column below is the FUSED rank (position in the returned list), which is real.

token count per chunk: NOT DISCLOSED — chunk token counts are not reported on the ask path. The character counts below are of the bounded snippet/quote rulesage actually received — a real measurement of what we hold, never an estimate of the chunk.

generation — timing and the path taken

timing split: retrieval 201 ms · first delta 4084 ms · total 6181 ms (retrieval and first-delta both measured from the START of gateway work, so first-delta INCLUDES retrieval — do not subtract)
full breakdown: queued 0 ms · retrieval 201 ms · ask 5971 ms · gateway work 6181 ms · total 6181 ms
tokens in (the prompt the answerer read): 1090
tokens out (what the answerer generated): 280
tok/sec: 137.1 tok/sec — 280 output tokens in 2.042 s of generation
live seat (read from the running child): answering — gemma4:26b think:false · num_ctx 32768 (live-verified 48s ago)
stream path: streamed — the gateway pushed at least one accumulated draft
watchdog: first-token watchdog: 30s per arming window (rulesage.table.first-token-watchdog-seconds), re-armed once by the passages frame — so the worst case before a reader falls back to polling is 60s. Whether it actually fired is a BROWSER-side decision that never reaches the server, so it is not recorded here. The stream path above is the server's half of that story: whether a delta was emitted at all.
num_ctx · think posture: both are the CHILD's settings, not rulesage's, and no ask reply carries them — an answer never states which context window or think posture produced it. The live-seat line above reads them from the running child instead, where the gateway can answer for itself; it describes the child NOW, not this ask.

disposition

outcome: ANSWERED — Answered
abstain rationale (n/a — this ruling answered): answered — no abstain rationale applies

setup-shape — why the checklist band did or didn't render

decision: NOT_SETUP_SHAPED — no setup-shape pattern matched this question

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against

this game registers NO errata cards (edition 22), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one

Errata scope: the gate above matched this ruling's own edition only. When an ask also reads an expansion, that expansion's own registered errata cards stay outside the match — a stated phase-1 limitation, not a failed lookup.
