What happens at the end of a round?

Answered counted as answered

Asked with: Wingspanbg-266192-en-1e

When players have placed all their available action cubes (1 cube per turn), the round is over [1][2]. At the end of the round: 1. Use round-end bird powers for birds on your player mat [1]; teal 'Round End' powers may be activated in player order, starting with the player who went first for the round [3][4]. 2. Score the end-of-round goal for the round just completed [1][2]. This involves counting quantities of targeted items or determining the majority of a targeted item [2]; players must place an action cube on the goal board to indicate points scored [2]. If playing with majority goals and players tie, add the values of the tied and next places and divide by the number of players, rounding down [5]. 3. If Round 4 is over, use game-end powers and then count final scores; otherwise, continue to step 4 [1]. 4. Remove all action cubes from your player mat [1][2][5]. 5. Discard and replace/replenish all face-up bird cards in the bird tray [1][2][5]. 6. Pass/rotate the first player token clockwise to the next player [1][2][5]. 7. Any nectar remaining in your personal food supply is discarded (this does not apply to nectar on 'spent nectar' spaces or cached on birds) [6].

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 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.
