How do I take my turn?
Answered counted as answeredAsked with: Pandemic: On the Brinkbg-40849-en-1e
The rules for taking a turn depend on the role being played: **General Rules** * The Generalist may do up to 5 actions each turn [1]. * The Bio-Terrorist may take up to 2 actions, plus 1 Drive/Ferry action, in any order [2]. This optional Drive/Ferry action may be done before, after, or between the other 2 actions [2]. **Bio-Terrorist Specifics** * If Captured, the Bio-Terrorist's first action after being captured will be Draw Card [2]. He can use this card to Escape or draw another card (skipping his Drive/Ferry action) [2]. After an Escape action, he completes his turn normally, taking a second action if he escaped on his first, plus the optional Drive/Ferry action [2]. * While Captured, the Bio-Terrorist can only perform Draw Card or Escape actions [2]. **Role-Specific Turn Starts** * The Generalist may start their turn by looking at as many Infection cards as the current infection rate [1]. * The Troubleshooter, at the start of her turn, looks at as many Infection cards as the current infection rate (by taking them from the top of the Infection Deck, looking at them, and putting them back in the same order) [3].

- boost provenance — errata + base rulebook (E2/E3)
-
no registered errata card matched this query; no base-rulebook boost — this ask EXCLUDED the base book, so its rulebook was never resolved and no id for it went on the wire (boosting it would have put that book back into a scope the reader took it out of); rulesage.errata.boost-enabled=true, rulesage.errata.supersedence-enabled=true
no base-rulebook boost — this ask EXCLUDED the base book, so its rulebook was never resolved and no id for it went on the wire (boosting it would have put that book back into a scope the reader took it out of)
- layering — route
- not layered — one pooled read, because one book was in scope and there is nothing to split

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 TWO-ARM fuse (full-text + vector), whose arithmetic ceiling is 0.03279 — both arms ranking the same chunk #1 (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60). Measured healthy band on this fuse: 0.016–0.033. 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 43), 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.
