How do I take my turn?
Answered counted as answeredDuring your turn, you may perform the following actions: 1. Place features on your Landscape by taking 3 tokens from any one Central board space and placing them on your Personal board as you see fit [1]. (This action must be performed exactly once per turn) [1]. 2. Optionally choose 1 Animal card from the 5 faceup cards in the center of the table and place it above your Personal board [2]. (You may have up to 4 cards simultaneously above your Personal board) [2][3]. 3. Take as many Animal cubes from the reserve as there are spaces to be filled on your chosen Animal card and place one cube on each space [2]. (This action is optional and can be performed only once per turn) [2]. 4. Optionally settle Animals in your Landscape by recreating their required Habitats; this may be performed multiple times at any time during your turn [4]. 5. At the end of your turn, return the remaining 6 tokens to the box (discarding them) and refill each of the 3 spaces on the Central board with 3 tokens [5]. 6. If you did not take an Animal card during your turn, you may discard 1 Animal card from the center of the table and replace it with the top card from the draw pile [5].

retrieval — what the search arm returned
score = the fused retrieval score (reciprocal-rank fusion over the search arms) — NOT a cosine similarity. How many arms fused this ruling was NOT RECORDED (it predates the boost trail, ran on the path that stored none, or stored one that could not be read), and the ceiling depends on that count (ceiling = arms/(k+1) at k=60): 2 arms top out at 0.03279; 3 arms top out at 0.04918. So a score above 0.03279 here is not an anomaly: it is arithmetic proof a boost arm voted, and the measured band 0.016–0.033 (taken on two-arm asks) is what does not apply. 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
- not recorded — this ruling predates the stream-path column (V41)
- 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 22), 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.
