How do I take my turn?
Answered counted as answered1. Check for overpopulated wildlife: if all 4 available Wildlife Tokens are the same, wipe them and replace them one-at-a-time from the Cloth Bag [1]; if 3 tokens are the same, the active player may choose to wipe them and replace them one-at-a-time from the Cloth Bag (this can only be done once per turn) [1]. 2. Place any wiped tokens back into the Cloth Bag [1]. 3. Optionally, spend any number of Nature Tokens to either take ANY one of the four Habitat Tiles and ANY one of the four Wildlife Tokens, or wipe ANY number of Wildlife Tokens and replace them [1][2]. 4. Select a Habitat Tile and Wildlife Token combination [1][3][4] (typically an existing combination) [1]. 5. Place the selected Habitat Tile and Wildlife Token into your environment in any order [5]. 6. Place the Habitat Tile adjacent to any Habitat Tile already in your environment, such that it touches at least one side of another previously placed tile or the Starter Habitat Tile [5]. 7. Ensure the Habitat Tile is not placed on top of another Habitat Tile and that no other Habitat Tile is moved [5]. 8. Place the Wildlife Token onto a single Habitat Tile that does not already have a token and shows the matching wildlife [5]. You may place it on the tile you just selected or any other available Habitat Tile [5]. If you cannot legally place it or choose not to, return the token to the Cloth Bag [5]. 9. Replace the selected Habitat Tile from the top of any face-down stack and the Wildlife Token by randomly selecting one from the Cloth Bag [5][4]. 10. Your turn is complete, and play passes clockwise to the next player [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.

- 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 23), 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.
