how do i take my turn?
Answered counted as answeredOn your turn, you take one action [1][2]. There are four possible actions as shown on the left side of your player mat: * Play a bird from your hand [3][4] * Gain food and activate forest bird powers [3][4] * Lay eggs and activate grassland bird powers [3][4] * Draw bird cards and activate wetland bird powers [3][4] To perform the "Play a Bird" action, you place an action cube on the "PLAY A BIRD" spot above the column where you will play the bird, pay the bird's food and egg cost, and then place the bird on your mat while triggering its white 'When Played' power (if any) [3][4]. The "Gain Food," "Lay Eggs," and "Draw Bird Cards" actions follow a three-step process: 1. Choose a habitat on your player mat and place an action cube on the leftmost exposed slot in that row to gain its benefit [3][4]. 2. Move your action cube from right to left, activating any birds with a brown 'WHEN ACTIVATED' power in that row (using these powers is optional) [3][4]. 3. When the action cube reaches the far left, leave it there; your turn is then over [3][4].

retrieval — what the search arm returned
score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. How many arms fused this ruling was NOT RECORDED (it predates the boost trail, ran on the path that stored none, or stored one that could not be read), and the ceiling depends on that count (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60): 2 arms top out at 0.03279; 3 arms top out at 0.04918. So a score above 0.03279 here is not an anomaly: it is arithmetic proof a boost arm voted, and the measured band 0.016–0.033 (taken on two-arm asks) is what does not apply. 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.

- not recorded — this ruling predates the stream-path column (V41)
- 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.

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.
