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 specific role or challenge being played: **General/Standard Turn (based on provided action lists):** 1. Do 4 actions [1] 2. Draw 2 cards [1] 3. Resolve any epidemics [1] 4. Discard to 7 cards [1] 5. Infect cities [1] **Bio-Terrorist Turn:** 1. The Bio-Terrorist may take up to 2 actions, plus 1 Drive/Ferry action, in any order [2]. 2. If the Bio-Terrorist is captured, his first action must be Draw Card [2]. 3. After an Escape action, he completes his turn normally, taking a second action (if escaped on the first) plus the optional Drive/Ferry action [2]. **Specific Role Variations:** * **Generalist:** May do up to 5 actions each turn [3][4]. * **Bio-Terrorist (in Bio-Terrorist challenge):** After each player turn, can do up to 2 actions plus 1 Drive/Ferry action [3]. * **Troubleshooter:** At the start of her turn, looks at as many Infection cards as the current infection rate [4].

- 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)

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.
