7 Wonders (2nd Edition)bg-316377-en-2e Answered
1. Separate the Age cards into three decks: Age I, Age II, and Age III [1]. 2. Each player randomly takes a Wonder Board, picking their preferred side (Day or Night) [1]. 3. For each Age, sort the cards by the minimum number of players required and keep only the cards with a number less than or equal to the number of players; put the other cards back in the box [1]. 4. In the Age III deck, take all the Purple cards, randomly draw as many cards from these as the number of players +2, and keep them face down, then add these cards to the other Age III cards; put the other Purple cards back in the box [1]. 5. Shuffle each deck of Age cards and put them face down in the middle of the table [1]. 6. Take 3 Coins (worth 1) and place them on your Wonder board to make up your starting Treasure [1]. 7. Place the leftover Coins in the middle of the table to make the Coin reserve [1]. 8. Place all of the Military Conflict tokens in the middle of the table to make the Military Conflict token reserve [1]. 9. Put all other game contents back in the box [1].

1. Follow the normal 7 Wonders rules, with the exception that players receive 6 Coins at the beginning of the game instead of 3 [1]. 2. Randomly and secretly deal 4 Leader cards to each player, then put the remaining Leaders back in the box [1]. 3. Simultaneously and secretly choose 1 Leader card from your hand and put it face down in front of you [1]. 4. Pass your hand of cards to the neighbor on your right while keeping them face down [1]. 5. Repeat the choosing and passing steps until you receive and keep a single card from your neighbor, at which point all players will have a hand of 4 Leaders [1].

- gate not evaluated for this ruling (boost, supersedence, and wrench all off at ask time), and the base-rulebook arm went unrecorded for the same reason — the wrench that would have stored it was off; rulesage.errata.boost-enabled=true, rulesage.errata.supersedence-enabled=true
- layering — route
- layered — the question is setup-shaped, so every book was read on its own (the setup-shape lens below shows the pattern that matched)
- layering — how this ask was counted
- counted as ANSWERED — carried by layer 1 (7 Wonders (2nd Edition)); layer 2 ANSWERED; 0 not read; rung: ANSWERED ▸ ABSTAINED ▸ UNATTRIBUTABLE ▸ REFUSED
- layering — books not run
- layer valve: rulesage.table.max-layers = 8 (today's setting, not necessarily the one this ask ran under). A book the valve trims is not read and leaves NO row of its own, so it cannot be listed above or counted in the census — an empty list here means the corpus breaker marked nobody, not that nothing was left out.
- layering — queued between books
- queued between layers: 0 ms of the 0 ms total queue wait (every wait after the first is a mid-ask wait, because the generation permit is released and re-taken for each book)

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.
no payload was recorded for this ruling (the call never returned one)

generation — timing and the path taken
- timing split
- retrieval n/a · first delta n/a · total 9537 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 n/a ms · ask n/a ms · gateway work 9537 ms · total 9537 ms
- live seat (read from the running child)
- answering — gemma4:26b think:false · num_ctx 32768 (live-verified 31s ago)
- stream path
- not requested — no progress token attached (stream-answers off, or a non-streaming caller)
- 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 12), so "no registered errata card matched" above could never have matched one
Errata scope: each book this ask READ got its own errata gate, keyed on that book's own edition — so an expansion's registered cards were matched against that expansion's own layer rather than left outside the match. The per-layer table above shows what each one sent, and any book that was not read ran no gate at all.
