How do I take my turn?
Answered counted as answeredAsked with: Above and Belowbg-172818-en-1e
1. Players take turns in clockwise order, starting with the player who has the first-player card [1]. 2. A player may perform as many free actions as they like before performing a normal action [2]. 3. A player may perform one of the following available actions per turn: * **Explore**: The player draws a cave card, slides two or more villagers from the ready area to the card, and rolls a die for each villager to attempt to meet or exceed explore numbers associated with a chosen choice [3]. The player may also choose to Exert villagers (moving them to the injured area) to gain extra lanterns [3][4]. * **Build**: The player slides a villager with a hammer symbol from the ready area to the exhausted area and pays coins to purchase a house, star house, key house, or outpost [4]. If purchasing an outpost, the player must have an available cave card [4]. * **Harvest**: The player slides one or more villagers from the ready area to the exhausted area; for each villager exhausted, the player takes one goods token from a house or outpost [2]. * **Train**: The player slides a villager with a quill symbol from the ready area to the exhausted area and pays coins to train a new villager from the reputation board [2]. * **Labor**: The player slides one or more villagers from the ready area to the exhausted area; for each villager exhausted, the player gains one coin (the first player to labor each round also gains the cider token if it is on the reputation board) [2]. 4. A player may pay one coin once per turn to refresh all four available cards in one of the rows of houses or outposts by replacing them with new cards from the top of the deck [5]. 5. A player may purchase goods, cider, or potions from another player's sale area by paying at least 3 coins [2]. 6. When a player wishes to take no more actions in the round, they must declare "I pass" [1][5]. 7. If a player has no villagers in their ready area at the start of their turn, they must choose to pass [5]. 8. After a normal action is performed, the player may not perform any further free actions [2].

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.

generation — timing and the path taken

- 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 402), 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.
