How do I take my turn?
Answered counted as answeredAsked with: Everdellbg-199792-en-1e · Everdell: Pearlbrookbg-259996-en-1e
Each turn, you perform only one of three possible actions [1]: 1. Place a Worker: You may place one worker on any location that is not blocked by another player (unless the location allows for multiple workers) [1]. If placing a worker on a Wonder spot, you must pay the listed amount of resources and pearls, and discard the listed amount of cards from your hand [2]. After paying, take the Wonder model and place it beside your city [2]. 2. Play a Card: You may play a card from your hand or from the Meadow (the area of faceup cards on the board) by paying the listed resource cost [1]. You may also play one of the Adornment cards you were dealt at the beginning of the game, which costs 1 pearl to play and does not take up space in your city [2]. 3. Prepare for Season: If all your workers are deployed and you cannot or do not wish to play a card, you must prepare for the next season [3]. To do this, bring back all of your deployed workers and gain the listed bonuses for the next season as shown atop the Ever Tree [3]. After performing this action, your turn is finished [3].

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.

- 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.

errata registry — what the gate above had to match against
this game registers NO errata cards (edition 10), 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.
