How do I take my turn?
Answered counted as answeredAsked with: Bomb Bustersbg-413246-en-1e
Starting with the Captain and going clockwise, each bomb disposal expert takes a turn [1]. On your turn, you must do one of these three actions [2][1]: 1. **Dual Cut**: Choose a value on a tile in your hand, then point at a teammate's tile and ask them if that tile is the value you chose [2]. * If the values match: Reveal both wires and place them in front of their respective tile stands [2]. The teammate takes their wire and places it faceup in front of their tile stand without changing its position, and the active expert takes their identical wire (or one of them) and places it faceup in front of their own tile stand [1]. * If the values do not match: The detonator dial advances 1 space [2][1]. If the wire is blue or yellow, a teammate places an Info token in front of the wire's true value [2][1]. If the wire is red, the bomb explodes [2][1]. * For yellow wires: The active expert must have one in their hand, point to a teammate's wire, and say "This wire is yellow" [3]. If incorrect, an Info token of the actual value is used and the detonator dial advances 1 space [3]. * Using Double Detector equipment: During a Dual Cut, the active expert states a value and points to two wires in a teammate's stand instead of one [4]. 2. **Solo Cut**: * If the last of identical wires still in the game appear only in the active bomb disposal expert's hand, they can cut those identical wires in pairs (either 2 or 4) without involving another expert [3]. If they have a full set of 4, they can cut all 4 at once [3]. * If a pair of wires of a given value has already been cut, they can cut the remaining 2 matching wires in their hand [3]. These are placed faceup on the table in front of the tile stand [3]. * This action can only occur if the active expert's remaining uncut wires are all red [3]. * A Solo Cut using yellow wires can only occur if the expert has all the remaining yellow wires in their hand [3]. * The expert reveals the 2 or 4 remaining wires of the same value and places them in front of their tile stand [2]. 3. **Reveal Your Red Wires**: If all your wires are red, reveal them [2]. They are placed faceup on the table in front of their tile stand [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 209), 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.
