ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned 2 of your turn(s) ago):
  ENDGAME (outbreaks 5/8 — only 3 allowed; two 3-cube bombs per reshuffle window). Cures: red+black DONE. Blue 3/4 in alice's hand + Atlanta(blue) in bob's hand → NEXT TURN: bob shuttles Toronto→Atlanta + shareGive Atlanta; alice shuttles Lima→Atlanta, sheds a non-blue, discoverCure BLUE at Atlanta station. Yellow 3/4 alice (Sao Paulo/Buenos Aires/Lima) + 6 in deck → alice keeps drawing; Lima+Atlanta+Toronto stations all valid cure sites. BOB AFTER HANDOFF: Baghdad 3⚠ via Cairo(black) fuel (direct Cairo + drive Baghdad, 1-treat erase); then NY 3⚠ / SF 3⚠ / Osaka 3⚠ red as reachable. OQN banked on bob's role... hand: play it ONLY in a window with 3-cube cities exposed (NY/SF/Osaka/Baghdad) since it cancels one infect phase. Cards flow: blue/yellow draws → alice; Tokyo(red) is bob's spare fuel.
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.
⚠ PLAN COVERAGE: this plan says nothing about New York (3 blue), Bangkok (3 red), San Francisco (3 blue), Istanbul (3 black) — 3-cube cities that matured after (or
were left out of) the pin. Fold one into your route, say who takes it,
or re-pin.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 4 action(s) left this turn against 5 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 6 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. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 17 cards → 8 player-turn(s) of draws left; 2 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~4 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: black: 16 cube(s) across 11 city(ies) → ~11 treat action(s) to eradicate; red: 11 cube(s) across 6 city(ies) → ~6 treat action(s) to eradicate
CARD STOCK — TEAM-WIDE, all seats' holdings (12 city cards per color; burned cards NEVER return — every hand-limit discard and every flight spends one):
  blue: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 4, bob 3, 4 in deck — margin 7 over the 4 needed
  yellow: 3 of 12 burned, held alice 3, bob 1, 5 in deck — margin 5 over the 4 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: YOU have a FULL SET (4/4) — station Atlanta (0 move(s)) to discoverCure
  yellow: YOU collect (3/4) — keep EVERY yellow card; nearest station Atlanta (0 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  bob hands you Khartoum(yellow): meet IN Khartoum (the card's own city) — you 5 move(s), bob 2 move(s); then alice to station Lima +4 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-yellow card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure
⚠ CHEAPEST DEFUSES — cured-color cities still holding cubes. CURED ≠ CLEAR: they still outbreak until treated, and ONE treat clears the WHOLE city and refunds every cube (an uncured treat only knocks 3→2 and re-infects):
  Osaka (red, 3, imminent): 4 move(s): Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Osaka
  Bangkok (red, 3, imminent): 5 move(s): Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Hong Kong→Bangkok
  Istanbul (black, 3, imminent): 5 move(s): Washington→New York→Madrid→Algiers→Istanbul — nearer teammate: bob, 0 move(s) vs your 5
  Hong Kong (red, 2): 4 move(s): Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Hong Kong
  Kolkata (black, 2): 5 move(s): Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Hong Kong→Kolkata — nearer teammate: bob, 4 move(s) vs your 5
  Chennai (black, 2): 5 move(s): Chicago→Los Angeles→Sydney→Jakarta→Chennai — nearer teammate: bob, 4 move(s) vs your 5
  Tehran (black, 2): 7 move(s): Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Hong Kong→Kolkata→Delhi→Tehran — nearer teammate: bob, 2 move(s) vs your 7

⚠ DECISION FRONTIER — 1 plan dominates all rivals this turn.
Dominance pruned every rival on both tempo and risk. This is the priced
nominee, not an order: extend it, or play something else.
  - cure blue at Atlanta — CURE blue
     tempo: lands a cure THIS TURN | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases
  dominated: shore up black at Kolkata (supply strained: 8 left) — tempo -5 vs 101, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "cure blue at Atlanta".
  dominated: break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New York — tempo -1 vs 101, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "cure blue at Atlanta".
  dominated: break the Hong Kong–Bangkok red cluster at Bangkok — tempo -6 vs 101, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "cure blue at Atlanta".
  dominated: sweep Osaka (red cured, 3 cubes, 1 treat clears all) — tempo -7 vs 101, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "cure blue at Atlanta".
  dominated: defuse the armed discard bomb at Istanbul (black — fires on the next epidemic reshuffle) — tempo -1 vs 101, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "cure blue at Atlanta".

Cure blue! Then 3 spare actions. After curing, blue cities still hold cubes: NY 3, SF 3, Toronto 2, Tokyo 1, Manila 1, LA 1, Paris 1 — blue cured so 1 treat per city. I'm at Atlanta. With 3 spare actions: drive Washington→NY treat (2 actions: 1 move + 1 treat clears NY's 3) = NY zeroed! Then 1 more action... drive back? or stay. Let me do: cure blue (1), drive Washington (2), drive New York (3), treat blue (4) → NY 0 (cured, clears all 3). End in NY. That defuses the NY bomb fully.

Then next turn: Bob handles Istanbul/Baghdad; I can go to Toronto (drive) treat blue (2→0), then... SF is far. Toronto→Chicago→SF. I'm the yellow-cure engine; drawing from Atlanta area. Hmm, but NY/SF/Toronto blues all one-treat each; 6 cubes total. I could do Toronto next turn.

Do it: cure blue first.

POOL MESSAGE from bob (event #132): Draw note: I pulled Khartoum(yellow) — that's your 4th yellow sitting in MY hand. Draw-first is still better: 5 yellow in a 17-deck, you draw 2/turn and cure on the spot at Atlanta when it lands; the Khartoum rendezvous costs ~7+ team actions (and no station there — you'd still walk to Lima after). So: Khartoum = backstop; if your yellow draws stall 2-3 turns, I'll walk Istanbul→Cairo→Khartoum (2 moves) and hold for you. Meanwhile my sweep continues: Istanbul→0 next action, then Tehran/Kolkata/Chennai black singles, then the Bangkok/Hong Kong red cluster — I'll ping when I pivot to red. Blue cure confirmed for this turn.

NOT a ranking — a curve between the two ways to lose. DOWN trades cure-pipeline
actions for fewer expected outbreaks; UP reverses it. No line is best: pick the
end facing whichever clock is closer to killing you.
  clocks — outbreaks 5/8; deck ~8 turn(s), 1 cure(s) still needed
Priced nominees, not orders — pick one, extend it, or play something else.
Blind spot: no cure line was priced this turn — that is a property of
candidate generation, not a verdict on curing. Price one yourself with
preview_plan before concluding the board says 'do not cure'.
  - break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New York — drive Washington, drive New York, treat blue
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is yellow, 11 action(s) to land it — you collect; clears 3 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases
  - defuse Toronto and return to Atlanta (round trip, 3 actions) — shuttle Toronto, treat blue, shuttle Atlanta
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is yellow, 11 action(s) to land it — you collect; clears 2 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases
  - defuse the armed discard bomb at Istanbul (black — fires on the next epidemic reshuffle) — drive Washington, drive New York, drive Madrid
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is yellow, 11 action(s) to land it — you collect | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; en route to clear black at Istanbul — worth ~9 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …", "defuse Toronto and return to Atlanta", "defuse the armed discard bomb at Istanbul" tie exactly on both axes; ordered by cubes cleared (3, 2, 0), which neither axis prices.
  exchange "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …" → "defuse Toronto and return to Atlanta": gives up nothing on tempo to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0 and armed-bomb liability 4 → 5 committed outbreak(s)
  exchange "defuse Toronto and return to Atlanta" → "defuse the armed discard bomb at Istanbul": gives up nothing on tempo to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0
  dominated: "shore up black at Kolkata (supply strained: 8 left)" — tempo -5 vs 0, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …"

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. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 17 cards → 8 player-turn(s) of draws left; 1 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~8 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: blue: 12 cube(s) across 7 city(ies) → ~7 treat action(s) to eradicate; black: 16 cube(s) across 11 city(ies) → ~11 treat action(s) to eradicate; red: 11 cube(s) across 6 city(ies) → ~6 treat action(s) to eradicate
CARD STOCK — TEAM-WIDE, all seats' holdings (12 city cards per color; burned cards NEVER return — every hand-limit discard and every flight spends one):
  yellow: 3 of 12 burned, held alice 3, bob 1, 5 in deck — margin 5 over the 4 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  yellow: YOU collect (3/4) — keep EVERY yellow card; nearest station Atlanta (1 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  bob hands you Khartoum(yellow): meet IN Khartoum (the card's own city) — you 5 move(s), bob 2 move(s); then alice to station Lima +4 move(s) to cure
⚠ CHEAPEST DEFUSES — cured-color cities still holding cubes. CURED ≠ CLEAR: they still outbreak until treated, and ONE treat clears the WHOLE city and refunds every cube (an uncured treat only knocks 3→2 and re-infects):
  New York (blue, 3, imminent): 1 move(s): New York
  San Francisco (blue, 3, imminent): 3 move(s): Atlanta→Chicago→San Francisco
  Istanbul (black, 3, imminent): 4 move(s): New York→Madrid→Algiers→Istanbul — nearer teammate: bob, 0 move(s) vs your 4
  Osaka (red, 3, imminent): 5 move(s): Atlanta→Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Osaka
  Bangkok (red, 3, imminent): 6 move(s): Atlanta→Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Hong Kong→Bangkok — nearer teammate: bob, 5 move(s) vs your 6

  Kolkata (black, 2): 6 move(s): Atlanta→Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Hong Kong→Kolkata — nearer teammate: bob, 4 move(s) vs your 6

⚠ DECISION FRONTIER — 2 rival turn-plan(s); NONE dominates another.
NOT a ranking — a curve between the two ways to lose. DOWN trades cure-pipeline
actions for fewer expected outbreaks; UP reverses it. No line is best: pick the
end facing whichever clock is closer to killing you.
  clocks — outbreaks 5/8; deck ~8 turn(s), 1 cure(s) still needed
Priced nominees, not orders — pick one, extend it, or play something else.
Blind spot: no cure line was priced this turn — that is a property of
candidate generation, not a verdict on curing. Price one yourself with
preview_plan before concluding the board says 'do not cure'.
  - break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New York — drive New York, treat blue
     tempo: 1 action(s) closer to the yellow cure (12 → 11 action(s) to land it) — you collect; clears 3 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases
  - shore up black at Istanbul (supply strained: 8 left) — drive New York, drive Madrid
     tempo: 1 action(s) closer to the yellow cure (12 → 11 action(s) to land it) — you collect | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; en route to clear black at Istanbul — worth ~9 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …" and "shore up black at Istanbul" tie exactly on both axes; ordered by cubes cleared (3, 0), which neither axis prices.
  exchange "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …" → "shore up black at Istanbul": gives up nothing on tempo to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0 and armed-bomb liability 4 → 5 committed outbreak(s)
  dominated: "break the Hong Kong–Bangkok red cluster at Bangkok" — tempo 0 vs 1, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "shore up black at Istanbul"

  you collect NO color right now: you are the FIREFIGHTER. Spend every
  turn moving to and treating the containment targets marked as yours,
  and hand cure-color cards to their collectors when you meet.
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  hand Khartoum(yellow) to alice: meet IN Khartoum (the card's own city) — you 2 move(s), alice 5 move(s); then alice to station Lima +4 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: alice already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-yellow card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure

Step 1 · {"synthetic": false, "servedModel": null}

reasoning:

```text
I drew Madrid(blue) + Khartoum(yellow) — Khartoum is yellow #4 for alice! Transfer at Khartoum: me 2 moves (Cairo... I'm at Istanbul; Istanbul→Cairo→Khartoum), alice 5 moves (from Atlanta). Hmm, or hand Khartoum at a co-location.

Alice will cure blue this turn (1st action). Then yellow 3/4 + my Khartoum = 4/4! Rendezvous options: she comes to Khartoum (5 moves from Atlanta — long), or I bring Khartoum to her? Transfer must be IN Khartoum. Hmm — I could walk Istanbul→Cairo→Khartoum (2 moves) and wait; she walks Atlanta→Miami→Mexico City→Lima...no, to Khartoum: Atlanta→Washington→Madrid→Algiers→Cairo→Khartoum? That's 5. Or she has no Africa cards... she could charter? She's at Atlanta — charter from Atlanta burns Atlanta card (blue, spare now that blue is cured — she used 4 of... wait blue set: she used Toronto/London/Paris/Washington for cure — those are discarded. Milan blue was discarded earlier? Her current hand: Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Toronto, London, Lima, Paris, Washington = 7. After blue cure (uses Toronto, London, Paris, Washington) she'll have Sao Paulo, Buenos Aires, Lima (3 yellow) + draws.

Yellow handoff at Khartoum: me 2 moves from Istanbul. Her: after cure + 2 draws next turn... she could charter Atlanta→Khartoum? Charter burns current-city card = Atlanta... she won't hold Atlanta card. Hmm, she'd have to walk 5 or... Actually — better: after my Istanbul treat next turn, I walk Istanbul→Cairo→Khartoum and stand there; she walks 5 from Atlanta = arrives turn+2. Yellow cure at... needs a station! Khartoum has no station. Cure site: Lima (station). After handoff she'd walk Khartoum→Cairo→? Lima is far. Ugh.

Wait — alternative: I GO to her? Can't — I hold the Khartoum card; transfer must be in Khartoum.

Or: she walks to a station I can reach: e.g., she goes to Lima (station, where she cured... she's heading anyway for yellow draws?). From Atlanta to Lima: Atlanta→Miami→Mexico City→Lima? no wait — Lima station. Atlanta→Miami (1), Miami→Mexico City (2), Mexico City→Lima (3). 3 moves! And I'd need to meet her IN Khartoum... no, I need to be IN Khartoum to give her the card. Damn.

Alternative: buildStation at Khartoum! I hold Khartoum card... buildStation costs the Khartoum card = burning my yellow #4! No.

Hmm — what about Government Grant? Not available.

OK think: the yellow cure needs alice holding 4 yellow AT a station. Currently she has 3 + Khartoum in my hand. Options:
(a) She walks to Khartoum (5 from Atlanta), I'm there (2 from Istanbul) → handoff → then she walks Khartoum→Cairo→Algiers→Madrid→? to Lima station? Madrid→New York... Lima via: Khartoum→Cairo→Algiers→Madrid→Sao Paulo→Bogota→Lima? Madrid connects Sao Paulo! So Khartoum→Cairo→Algiers→Madrid→Sao Paulo→Bogota→Lima = 6. Long. Total ~8-9 more actions after handoff. Slow but yellow needs the 4th card anyway; also 5 yellow still in deck — she might just draw the 4th yellow sooner and cure at Atlanta (0 moves).
(b) I wait in Istanbul area treating black/red while she draws; if she draws a yellow in 2 turns (~5 in deck, 2 draws/turn ≈ 34%+/turn), cure at Atlanta instantly. My Khartoum = backstop; if her draws stall, rendezvous at Khartoum.

Given deck has 5 yellow among 17 cards and ~8 turns of draws left, and she draws 2/turn — P(yellow within 2 turns) ≈ 1 - C(12,4)... rough ~40-50%. Within 3 turns ~60-70%. The Khartoum handoff costs ~7+ team actions. Draw-first is better; Khartoum is backstop.

Also NOTE: I hold Khartoum — it counts toward the yellow margin ("held alice 3, bob 1"). Keep it.

My next turn: treat Istanbul →0 (1 action), then black sweep continues: drive Tehran (2), treat Tehran (0) (3), drive... after that Kolkata/Chennai/Moscow/Delhi/Karachi/Mumbai/StP singles + red cluster Bangkok/HK/Osaka/SF. Also red: Bangkok 3⚠ (4 moves via Tehran→Delhi→Kolkata→Bangkok).

Alice cures blue now. Message: brief note that Khartoum is her yellow #4 in my hand, draw-first strategy, Khartoum rendezvous as backstop if draws stall; I'm sweeping black eastward (Tehran/Kolkata/Chennai) then the red Asia cluster.

CARD STOCK — TEAM-WIDE, all seats' holdings (12 city cards per color; burned cards NEVER return — every hand-limit discard and every flight spends one):

⚠ CHEAPEST DEFUSES — cured-color cities still holding cubes. CURED ≠ CLEAR: they still outbreak until treated, and ONE treat clears the WHOLE city and refunds every cube (an uncured treat only knocks 3→2 and re-infects):

⚠ DECISION FRONTIER — 3 rival turn-plan(s); NONE dominates another.
NOT a ranking — a curve between the two ways to lose. DOWN trades cure-pipeline
actions for fewer expected outbreaks; UP reverses it. No line is best: pick the
end facing whichever clock is closer to killing you.
  clocks — outbreaks 5/8; deck ~8 turn(s), 1 cure(s) still needed
Priced nominees, not orders — pick one, extend it, or play something else.
Blind spot: no cure line was priced this turn — that is a property of
candidate generation, not a verdict on curing. Price one yourself with
preview_plan before concluding the board says 'do not cure'.
  - break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New York — drive Washington, drive New York, treat blue
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is yellow, 11 action(s) to land it — you collect; clears 3 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases
  - defuse Toronto and return to Atlanta (round trip, 3 actions) — shuttle Toronto, treat blue, shuttle Atlanta
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is yellow, 11 action(s) to land it — you collect; clears 2 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases
  - defuse the armed discard bomb at Istanbul (black — fires on the next epidemic reshuffle) — drive Washington, drive New York, drive Madrid
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is yellow, 11 action(s) to land it — you collect | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; en route to clear black at Istanbul — worth ~9 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …", "defuse Toronto and return to Atlanta", "defuse the armed discard bomb at Istanbul" tie exactly on both axes; ordered by cubes cleared (3, 2, 0), which neither axis prices.
  exchange "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …" → "defuse Toronto and return to Atlanta": gives up nothing on tempo to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0 and armed-bomb liability 4 → 5 committed outbreak(s)
  exchange "defuse Toronto and return to Atlanta" → "defuse the armed discard bomb at Istanbul": gives up nothing on tempo to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0
  dominated: "shore up black at Kolkata (supply strained: 8 left)" — tempo -5 vs 0, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "break the Toronto–New York blue cluster at New …"

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned 2 of your turn(s) ago):
  ENDGAME (outbreaks 5/8 — only 3 allowed; two 3-cube bombs per reshuffle window). Cures: red+black DONE. Blue 3/4 in alice's hand + Atlanta(blue) in bob's hand → NEXT TURN: bob shuttles Toronto→Atlanta + shareGive Atlanta; alice shuttles Lima→Atlanta, sheds a non-blue, discoverCure BLUE at Atlanta station. Yellow 3/4 alice (Sao Paulo/Buenos Aires/Lima) + 6 in deck → alice keeps drawing; Lima+Atlanta+Toronto stations all valid cure sites. BOB AFTER HANDOFF: Baghdad 3⚠ via Cairo(black) fuel (direct Cairo + drive Baghdad, 1-treat erase); then NY 3⚠ / SF 3⚠ / Osaka 3⚠ red as reachable. OQN banked on bob's role... hand: play it ONLY in a window with 3-cube cities exposed (NY/SF/Osaka/Baghdad) since it cancels one infect phase. Cards flow: blue/yellow draws → alice; Tokyo(red) is bob's spare fuel.
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.
⚠ PLAN COVERAGE: this plan says nothing about New York (3 blue), Bangkok (3 red), San Francisco (3 blue), Istanbul (3 black) — 3-cube cities that matured after (or
were left out of) the pin. Fold one into your route, say who takes it,
or re-pin.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 1 action(s) left this turn against 5 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 6 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. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

     tempo: 1 action(s) further from the yellow cure (11 → 12 action(s) to land it) — alice collects; clears 5 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases + 4 armed discard bomb(s) (Osaka, San Francisco, Bangkok, Kolkata): P(epidemic in window) ≈ 8%, and the reshuffle re-arms them ALL — ~4 chained outbreak(s) committed over the ~5 infect phase(s) after it, cancelable ONLY by treating them before it fires — track 5/8: that alone LOSES the game; returns 5 black (supply 11 after) to a strained supply
  exchange "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Kharto…" → "sweep tour: Istanbul → Moscow": gives up 3 action(s) of cure progress to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0
  dominated: "shore up black at Istanbul (supply strained: 6 left)" — tempo 0 vs 2, risk 0.04 vs 0.04 — beaten by "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Kharto…"
  dominated: "break the Kolkata–Chennai black cluster at Kolkata" — tempo -3 vs 2, risk 0.04 vs 0.04 — beaten by "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Kharto…"
  dominated: "defuse the armed discard bomb at Bangkok (red — fires on the next epidemic reshuffle)" — tempo -4 vs 2, risk 0.57 vs 0.04 — beaten by "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Kharto…"
  dominated: "defuse Moscow and return to Istanbul (round trip, 3 actions)" — tempo 0 vs 2, risk 0.29 vs 0.04 — beaten by "advance the yellow cure: move toward the Kharto…"
  SPLIT DECISION — this antichain holds a cure line AND a containment line
  and neither dominates: that is a TEAM call, not a solo one. Before you
  commit, CALL send_message with your pick and a one-line reason so your
  partner can veto or extend it — a silent choice here is how chains get
  missed.

Your legal actions — this is the COMPLETE legal set; anything not named
here will be rejected. A `[n] {...}` line is literal: pass it verbatim to
submit_action.action. A grouped family gives a template plus the values
allowed in it: fill the template with one combination shown on a single
line and pass that.
