Alice apparently treated it, or... earlier plan said I treat Madrid 2→1, but the treat says no cubes — maybe Alice already treated Madrid on her turn (or auto-removed... no). Actually alice is at Bangkok and may have jumped... whatever, Madrid is clean. My 3 actions: options. Red cure is the win clock; the frontier wants me moving toward Bangkok handoff (drive New York→Toronto→Chicago). But I have directFlight Bangkok — 1 action! Alice is IN Bangkok. Fly there (1 action), then she jumps me? No wait — she's IN Bangkok. I fly Bangkok directly, arrive this turn; next turn (her turn) she takes Bangkok red. That's 1 action vs 3 drives. Then remaining 2 actions: treat Bangkok black 1 cube (eradication sweep) and... Hong Kong black 1. Actually I could directFlight Bangkok (1), treat Bangkok black (1), and have 1 action left — endActions or... nothing else useful locally. HK black 1 cube is 1 move away — drive Bangkok→Hong Kong (1) but then I'm not in Bangkok for handoff... Alice is in Bangkok and will be there; she takes Bangkok red from me on her turn only if I'm there. Plan: fly Bangkok, treat Bangkok black (eradication progress), third action: endActions (or drive HK and back? pointless). Wait — if I fly to HK for the black cube, I leave Bangkok and she can't take Bangkok red.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned 2 of your turn(s) ago): TEAM PLAN v6 — RED EMERGENCY: red supply 8 vs 10 red cubes on board (Manila/Sydney/HCMC/Jakarta cluster). Alice: play OneQuietNight (free) this turn, walk HK→Manila, treat red (shield from Manila covers Manila+Sydney bombs), then Asia red sweep — treat every red she passes; red cure=alice (Taipei/Seoul/Tokyo held + Bangkok in bob's hand, 4/5; last red card in deck). Bob: clear Bogota yellow ×2 (shield→SA), then Johannesburg(yellow) to alice at rendezvous; then Europe blues (St. Petersburg 3-blue fire + London/Paris/etc for alice's blue set — ZERO blue burns, margin 2). Black: eradication sweep 6 cubes (Cairo 2, Delhi/Chennai/Bangkok/HK 1 each) — whoever passes, 1 treat each. Events free; OQN spent, RP used (St. Petersburg). Handoffs: bob brings Bangkok(red)+Johannesburg(yellow)+London(blue) to alice — meets in Asia or via dispatcherJump; alice at 7 cap sheds non-cure-card when receiving. If the board has invalidated this plan or it is complete, replace it via pin_plan — until then, your partner is assuming you are following it. CONFLICT RULE: when your own read of the board — a signal, the DECISION FRONTIER, a preview result — argues against this plan, do NOT silently obey and do NOT silently deviate. CALL send_message naming the conflict (the city and what you would do instead), then resolve it: your partner's reply or a fresh pin_plan. A stale pin never outranks the live board. ACTION ECONOMY: you have 2 action(s) left this turn against 1 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 8 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy. TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans against each other.

The hand shows 4 cards, no Bangkok(red) — because the direct flight to Bangkok spent Bangkok(red)! I burned a RED card as flight fuel — red margin dropped to 1! That was a mistake. Red set: alice has Taipei/Seoul/Tokyo (3), I burned Bangkok. Red margin 1 — the cure now needs HK(red) from me (I hold it) + 1 more from deck. Critical: no more red burns. Actually wait — alice's plan: she jumps me to Bangkok and takes Bangkok(red). But I burned it. Damn. The red cure now needs: alice's Taipei/Seoul/Tokyo + my HK(red) + 1 more red from deck (2 in deck). Still curable but tighter. Current state: I'm at Bangkok with alice also in Bangkok. She can shareTake? No — she takes Bangkok(red) in Bangkok, but I don't hold it anymore. She can take HK(red) only in Hong Kong. Hmm, we're both in Bangkok — no share possible (I hold HK, London, Johannesburg, Kinshasa — none is Bangkok). My 2 remaining actions: per plan, alice will jump me to HK next turn (any distance) and take HK(red). Meanwhile I should walk toward HK? HK is 1 move away (driveFerry Hong Kong). If I drive to HK now, alice (in Bangkok) can... next turn she'd need to be IN HK to take HK(red) — she can drive Bangkok→HK herself (1 move) or jump to me in HK. Let me drive Hong Kong this turn (1 action), treat black? HK has 1 black+1 red — black cured: treat black clears all black in HK (1 cube, frees). With 2 actions: drive HK + treat black. That's good: HK black cleared, I'm standing in HK with HK(red), shield covers HK (and its neighbors incl. Ho Chi Minh City 2-red! My shield freezes HCMC from HK? HK neighbors: Shanghai, Taipei, Kolkata, Bangkok, HCMC, Manila — yes, shield from HK freezes Manila(2) and HCMC(2) red! That's valuable — freezes the red cluster maturation). So: drive Hong Kong, treat black (clears HK's black cube).

The handoff: I hold HK red; alice needs to come to HK to take HK red (1 move from Bangkok). I hold Bangkok red? No — I burned Bangkok(red) flying to Bangkok. Wait, my hand now: London(blue), Johannesburg(yellow), Hong Kong(red), Kinshasa(yellow) — I spent Bangkok(red) as flight fuel! That was the "no burns except cured-black cities" violation... Actually I used Bangkok(red) for directFlight to Bangkok — red margin dropped to 1! But alice took Bangkok... wait red stock says alice 3, bob 1, 2 in deck. I burned Bangkok(red). Hmm, that was arguably necessary — alice couldn't receive Bangkok from me otherwise? No — alice was IN Bangkok; if I flew there I could hand it. But I did burn it; can't undo. Red margin now 1 — alice's red set: Taipei, Seoul, Tokyo + she needs 2 more: HK red (in my hand) + 1 more (2 in deck or...). So alice needs HK red from me (in HK, alice 1 move away) plus one more red from deck. Last action: options — treat red in HK (clears 1 red cube, supply-critical color, refunds a cube), or treat black (1 cube), or drive to Manila to shield red cluster... The frontier says "advance blue cure: drive Manila". But red supply critical and Manila at 2 red 1 move away — my shield in Manila would freeze Manila/Sydney/HCMC cluster. However alice's plan has her sweeping reds; she's in Bangkok and will walk HK→Manila etc. Actually alice can't come to HK to take HK red if I move away... She needs to meet me IN Hong Kong to take Hong Kong(red). If I drive to Manila now, alice (1 move from HK) can't take the card. Wait she'd be in HK next turn anyway per her sweep. Her plan: jump me to Bangkok, take Bangkok (burned — now impossible), then Bangkok→HK, take HK red. So she arrives HK next turn. If I stay in HK, she takes HK red next turn — red set becomes 4/5 (Taipei/Seoul/Tokyo/HK), needing 1 more from 2 in deck. Staying in HK to hand off is the play. With 1 action: treat red in HK (1 cube) — supply critical red, one treat refunds 1 cube and reduces re-infection. Or treat black (1 cube, refund toward eradication).
