POOL MESSAGE from bob (event #49): Outbreak #2 noted (2/8) — black supply back to 10 with 14 on board. Board update + a proposal:
1) Next turn I clear Moscow fully (drive there + treat×3, Istanbul's regrown cube gets swept on a later pass).
2) PROPOSAL — upgrade Riyadh from backstop to primary: turn after Moscow, I walk Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh (treat Baghdad's cube en route). If you commit that SAME turn to your priced Sydney walk + charter (4 actions), we co-locate in Riyadh; the following turn you hand me Riyadh and my black set is COMPLETE with certainty. I then walk the 6 back to Atlanta drawing for spares the whole way. Your 4 actions otherwise go to blue collection, which needs travel time anyway — and if you draw Government Grant at any point, a station in Riyadh/Baghdad turns the handoff into an on-the-spot black cure.
If you'd rather keep Riyadh as a pure backstop, say so and I'll walk west via St. Petersburg/London instead and gamble on draws.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned 2 of your turn(s) ago):
  RED CURED. Updated assignments: alice = BLUE cure (1/4, keeps Milan) + red sweep (HK/Shanghai/Beijing/Bangkok) + hands bob Sao Paulo(yellow) when co-located. bob = BLACK cure 4/5 (holds Mumbai/Istanbul/Tehran/Moscow — ONE more black card cures; both players hold black draws for bob) + YELLOW cure 2/5 (LA+Lima, keep both) + after black cure lands, bob owns the Istanbul–Moscow cluster (5 cubes) and Kolkata (3⚠).
  BOB ROUTE: this turn treat Lima→drive MexCity→Miami→Atlanta; next turn cure black at Atlanta if 5th card arrived (draws or alice handoff), else hold station and chase black cubes en route. Meet-ups: card transfers need shared city (bob@Atlanta while alice passes through = natural handoff point).
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 4 action(s) left this turn against 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 2 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: 37 cards → 18 player-turn(s) of draws left; 3 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~6 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: red: 2 cube(s) across 2 city(ies) → ~2 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: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 3, 7 in deck — margin 6 over the 5 needed
  black: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 4, 6 in deck — margin 6 over the 5 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: YOU collect (1/4) — keep EVERY blue card; nearest station Atlanta (4 move(s))
  yellow: bob collects (3/5) — give bob your yellow cards when you share
  black: bob collects (4/5) — give bob your black cards when you share
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  hand Riyadh(black) to bob: meet IN Riyadh (the card's own city) — you 4 action(s) (go to Sydney (3 move(s)), then charter to Riyadh (spends Sydney(red))), bob 2 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +6 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: bob already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-black card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Sydney, 3 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 3 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~1 action(s) on remaining cure runs: blue 4→3)
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Sydney 3→0, Jakarta 4→1, Chennai 5→2 (1 cube), Bangkok 5→2 (2 cubes); board-wide: 20 cities closer, 41 trip-actions shaved

⚠ 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 2/8; deck ~18 turn(s), 3 cure(s) still needed
Priced nominees, not orders — pick one, extend it, or play something else.
These lines disagree about cost: 1 burn a card, 1 do not.
A burned card never returns — preview_plan prices both before you commit.
  - advance the black cure: move toward the Riyadh handoff (bob collects; assumes they meet you) — drive Hong Kong, drive Manila, drive Sydney, charter to Riyadh
     tempo: 5 action(s) closer to the black cure (16 → 11 action(s) to land it) — bob collects | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases + 2 armed discard bomb(s) (Kolkata, Moscow): P(epidemic in window) ≈ 25%, and the reshuffle re-arms them ALL — ~2 chained outbreak(s) committed over the ~5 infect phase(s) after it, cancelable ONLY by treating them before it fires
     burns: red CURED — spare
  - shore up black at Kolkata (supply strained: 10 left) — drive Hong Kong, drive Kolkata, treat black, treat black
     tempo: 2 action(s) closer to the black cure (16 → 14 action(s) to land it) — bob collects; clears 2 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases + 1 armed discard bomb(s) (Moscow): P(epidemic in window) ≈ 25%, and the reshuffle re-arms them ALL — ~1 chained outbreak(s) committed over the ~5 infect phase(s) after it, cancelable ONLY by treating them before it fires; returns 2 black (supply 12 after) to a strained supply
  exchange "advance the black cure: move toward the Riyadh …" → "shore up black at Kolkata": gives up 3 action(s) of cure progress to move risk ~0.0 expected outbreaks → ~0.0 and armed-bomb liability 2 → 1 committed outbreak(s)
  dominated: "defuse the armed discard bomb at Moscow (black — fires on the next epidemic reshuffle)" — tempo 2 vs 2, risk 0.43 vs 0.22 — beaten by "shore up black at Kolkata"
  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.

reasoning:

```text
Bob's proposal: he walks Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh (turn after Moscow); I commit to the Riyadh walk+charter SAME turn (4 actions: HK→Manila→Sydney→charter Riyadh), co-locate in Riyadh, next turn hand off Riyadh → black set complete. He then walks 6 back to Atlanta.

The frontier's nominee: advance black cure via Riyadh handoff (drive HK, Manila, Sydney, charter Riyadh) — 4 actions, burns Sydney(red) (spare, red cured).

But my timing: I need to be IN Riyadh the same turn Bob arrives. Bob's timeline: this turn (his current turn? He said "next turn I clear Moscow" — wait, he's asking now, and this is MY turn. His proposal: turn after Moscow he walks to Riyadh. If I go to Riyadh NOW (this turn), I'll be sitting in Riyadh for ~2 turns while he does Moscow. That works: I arrive now, he arrives in 2 turns, handoff then. Sitting idle 2 turns? No — I can act from Riyadh: Riyadh connects Cairo, Baghdad, Istanbul? No — Riyadh: Cairo, Baghdad, Karachi. From Riyadh I can treat Baghdad's 1 black (drive Baghdad, treat, drive back — 3 actions) or Karachi? Or Cairo 1 blue? Actually Paris/NY/Toronto are blue. Cairo: no cubes listed. Karachi: no cubes. Delhi/Chennai 1 black each — from Riyadh: Baghdad→Tehran→Delhi? long.

Alternatively, adjust timeline: instead of going to Riyadh NOW, time my arrival. But the frontier nominee says go now. Bob arrives turn after next. If I arrive now, I have this turn's remaining 0 actions... I use all 4 to get there. Next turn I'm in Riyadh: I could do a Baghdad loop (drive Baghdad, treat black, drive back = 3 actions) or treat nothing in Riyadh. Then Bob arrives, handoff (his action), he's in Riyadh with 5 black... then he needs Atlanta — 6 moves. Meanwhile I'm free in Riyadh to work Delhi/Chennai/Kolkata black or head... 

Hmm wait, is there something better with the handoff? Once Bob has Riyadh card in Riyadh with 5 black cards — he can't cure without a station. He walks 6 back to Atlanta. Unless Government Grant. OK.

Alternative smarter idea: after handoff, I'M in Riyadh with a black card... no.

Actually — here's a much better idea: the handoff completes Bob's set, but what if instead, at the Riyadh rendezvous, Bob gives me ALL his black cards (4) and keeps... no, shares are 1 card per action and each requires the card's city. Only Riyadh card can transfer in Riyadh.

Alternative: I keep Riyadh, Bob walks to Atlanta with 4 black, and if either draws a 5th black, whoever holds it cures: if Bob draws it, he's done; if I draw it, I have 2 (Riyadh + new) — no. So the handoff gives certainty. Bob's proposal is reasonable. The frontier prices it at 5 actions closer to black cure (16→11).

But timing: if I go to Riyadh NOW, I sit there. Bob said HE walks to Riyadh the turn after Moscow, i.e., in 2 turns. If I'm there 2 turns early, my actions those turns: black treats nearby (Baghdad 1, Delhi 1, Chennai 1, Karachi 0...). That's fine — it consolidates containment around the black region AND I'm positioned for the handoff.

Alternatively, delay: I do Kolkata sweep this turn (drive HK, drive Kolkata, treat ×2 = 4 actions) — defuses the Kolkata bomb, refunds 2 black — and go to Riyadh NEXT turn (HK... from Kolkata: Delhi→Karachi→Riyadh? Kolkata→Delhi→Karachi→Riyadh = 3 moves, no card burn!). Wait: Riyadh connects Karachi; Karachi connects Delhi; Delhi connects Kolkata. So from Kolkata: drive Delhi, drive Karachi, drive Riyadh = 3 actions, NO card burned, saving Sydney as fuel and arriving 1 turn later — exactly when Bob... Bob's timeline: turn+1 = Moscow clear; turn+2 = walks Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh, arriving turn+2. If I sweep Kolkata this turn (turn 0) and drive Kolkata→Delhi→Karachi→Riyadh on turn+1, I'm in Riyadh at end of turn+1; Bob arrives end of turn+2. Handoff turn+3. One turn later than the Sydney-charter line, but: I clear Kolkata (3⚠ bomb, 3 black refunded — supply 10→13), no card burned, Sydney kept as fuel, and I sweep Delhi's black cube en route (Kolkata→Delhi passes Delhi; Delhi 1 black — treat it turn+1: Delhi, Karachi, Riyadh = 3 moves + 1 treat = 4 actions). 

Compare frontier nominee (Sydney charter now): black cure 5 actions closer, burns Sydney, but leaves Kolkata bomb armed and doesn't reduce supply bleed. My alternative: 2-3 black cubes refunded, bomb defused, cure 1 turn slower (but black cure was already gated on Bob's 2-turn walk anyway — Bob arrives Riyadh turn+2 either way; handoff turn+3 in both cases! Because Bob can't get there before turn+2 regardless. So my Kolkata route does NOT delay the handoff at all!).

Wait check: Bob's proposal says "turn after Moscow, I walk Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh" — 3 moves, so he arrives 2 turns from now. My Kolkata route: I arrive Riyadh end of THIS turn+1, i.e., before him. Handoff happens when both are there: turn+2 end? Handoff requires an action during whose turn — Bob's turn+2 or my turn+2... If I'm in Riyadh from turn+1 end and Bob arrives turn+2 end (his turn), the share can happen on MY turn+3 or his turn+3. Hmm, actually on his turn+2 he arrives; on my turn+3 I give. Or on his turn+3... he can't take the card before arriving. So handoff effectively turn+3 morning (my turn). With Sydney-charter now: I'm in Riyadh end of turn 0; Bob arrives end turn+2; I give Riyadh... on my turn+3 too? On my turn+3 I hand off — same! Actually wait, could Bob take it on his turn+3? Same turn either way. NO DIFFERENCE in handoff timing because Bob is the bottleneck (arrives turn+2).

Hold on — Bob walks Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh on his turn+2 arriving end of that turn. My Sydney-charter line gets me there turn 0. My Kolkata line gets me there turn+1. Either way I'm there before him. Handoff on my turn+3. Identical!

So the Kolkata route strictly dominates: same handoff timing, +3 black cubes refunded (Kolkata 3 + Delhi 1 = 4 black cubes!), bomb defused, Sydney card kept, zero card burn. The only cost: turn+1 I'm not doing blue collection — but blue collection was speculative travel anyway.

Wait, one check: Kolkata route this turn: drive HK (1), drive Kolkata (2), treat black (3), treat black (4) — clears 2 of Kolkata's 3 (I have 4 actions; treat twice). Leaves 1. Then turn+1: drive Delhi, treat black (Delhi 1→0), drive Karachi, drive Riyadh = 4 actions. Turn+2 (my turn): I'm in Riyadh, Bob arrives that turn end. I can do something: drive Baghdad (1), treat black (2), drive back Riyadh (3), +1 spare — maybe drive Karachi? or charter? Or treat... Riyadh has nothing. Baghdad 1 black cleared. Turn+3: handoff (shareGive Riyadh to Bob) — his hand is 7/7, he must discard one first... he said name the non-black card to shed. He'll manage.

Also should I confirm with Bob before deviating? His proposal asked me to commit to the Sydney walk+charter that same turn — my plan gets me there EARLIER via a better route. That's compatible: I just need to be in Riyadh when he arrives. I'll message: agreed to rendezvous, but taking Kolkata route — better containment, no burn, same arrival deadline.

Split decision — must message first. Then act: drive Hong Kong.

Also pin_plan update? The pinned plan is stale (bob's old pin). I could re-pin the new multi-turn intent. That costs a message from allowance (5/turn — I've used 1... wait this turn: "you have sent 1 of 5"? It says sent 1 of 5 after my message? Actually the last send this turn: none yet this turn. The pin_plan costs one message. Worth it — this is a genuine multi-turn plan: Riyadh rendezvous. Yes, pin it.

Then drive HK.

ADVISORY — alice is on the move; you cannot act.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned 3 of your turn(s) ago):
  RED CURED. Updated assignments: alice = BLUE cure (1/4, keeps Milan) + red sweep (HK/Shanghai/Beijing/Bangkok) + hands bob Sao Paulo(yellow) when co-located. bob = BLACK cure 4/5 (holds Mumbai/Istanbul/Tehran/Moscow — ONE more black card cures; both players hold black draws for bob) + YELLOW cure 2/5 (LA+Lima, keep both) + after black cure lands, bob owns the Istanbul–Moscow cluster (5 cubes) and Kolkata (3⚠).
  BOB ROUTE: this turn treat Lima→drive MexCity→Miami→Atlanta; next turn cure black at Atlanta if 5th card arrived (draws or alice handoff), else hold station and chase black cubes en route. Meet-ups: card transfers need shared city (bob@Atlanta while alice passes through = natural handoff point).
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.

  black: YOU collect (4/5) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (5 move(s)) — or 3 action(s): direct flight to Los Angeles (spends Los Angeles(yellow)), then 2 move(s) to Atlanta (your 3/5 yellow set — burning drops it to 2/5; 7 yellow in deck, 1 held elsewhere; spend it only if this beats the cure)
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  alice hands you Riyadh(black): meet IN Riyadh (the card's own city) — you 2 move(s), alice 4 action(s) (go to Sydney (3 move(s)), then charter to Riyadh (spends Sydney(red))); then bob to station Atlanta +6 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: bob already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-black card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure

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

reasoning:

```text
An outbreak happened (2/8) — Istanbul got re-seeded to 1 and Moscow went into infect-discard... wait, outbreaks 2/8 now. Moscow 3 black in infect-discard. The reshuffle? Actually infection deck went 42→40, rate still 2. An outbreak occurred somewhere (probably Kolkata or Moscow hit 4?). Anyway 2/8.

New situation: Moscow 3 black (in infect-discard), Istanbul re-seeded 1, Kolkata 3. Black supply 10, 14 on board.

My next turn plan: Istanbul→Moscow (1), treat Moscow ×3 (3 actions) = Moscow 0. That's 4 actions total. Then Istanbul 1 remains. Then continue east: Moscow→Tehran→Delhi→Kolkata.

Riyadh rendezvous thought: I'm closer to the Middle East now. If alice charters Sydney→Riyadh next turn and I... I'll be at Moscow clearing. Can't be in Riyadh same turn. Could time it: turn after Moscow, I drive Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh while alice flies to Riyadh. But she'd need to sit/arrive same turn. Alice at Shanghai: her moves to Riyadh: Shanghai→Sydney? Sydney connects Shanghai? Shanghai: Beijing, Seoul, HK, Taipei, Tokyo. No. She has Sydney(red) card — direct flight to Sydney (1), then charter to Riyadh (1) = 2 actions! (Direct flight spends Sydney card to fly TO Sydney; then charter FROM Sydney spends... wait charter spends current-city card = Sydney — but she just used Sydney card to fly there! She can't charter without Sydney card. The priced line said "go to Sydney (3 move(s)), then charter to Riyadh (spends Sydney(red))" — walking 3 moves to Sydney then chartering on the Sydney card. OK so 4 actions total.

Timing: if alice commits her turn to the Riyadh rendezvous and I'm not there, wasted. I'll be at Moscow next turn (clearing 3 cubes — important). Turn after, I can reach Riyadh: Moscow→Tehran (1)→? Tehran connects Baghdad; Baghdad→Riyadh (3 moves total: Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh). So turn+2: I drive 3 to Riyadh, alice flies 4 to Riyadh — if she starts flying turn+2 as well, we co-locate end of turn+2, transfer turn+3 (1 action). Then I hold 5 black... but I'm in Riyadh, 6 moves from Atlanta. Black cure lands turn+4 at earliest? That's ~4 turns. vs drawing 5th black: 61% within 3 turns but then I must be at a station.

Hmm — actually WAIT. If I take Riyadh from alice at the rendezvous, my set completes. Cure requires station. No station nearby. So the rendezvous only pays if combined with a Government Grant station in the Middle East, or a long walk to Atlanta. Alternatively alice could fly to MEET me at a station? She'd have to bring Riyadh to Atlanta: Riyadh card in her hand — she can only transfer the card in Riyadh city. Researcher? No, she's Scientist. So Riyadh transfer MUST happen in Riyadh. OK.

Alternative: she keeps Riyadh; I keep hunting a 5th black draw; meanwhile the Riyadh card is dead weight in her hand (counts toward her cap, she has 4 cards, fine).

Message to alice: update plan — next turn I clear Moscow (drive + treat×3), then push Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh corridor cleaning Delhi/Kolkata blacks; flag: outbreak #2 happened, black supply 10/14 on board. Also propose: IF she wants the Riyadh rendezvous, target turn+2 (both in Riyadh end of that turn) — but honestly the 6-move walk back makes it dubious. Let me think about whether the rendezvous is actually good...

Black cure timing comparison:
- Rendezvous path: alice spends 4 actions (turn T), I spend 3 moves + must be there. Black cure ~T+2/T+3 if GG or... no GG. Actually after transfer at Riyadh end of turn T, I start walking turn T+1: 6 moves = 1.5 turns, cure at T+3 (arrive Atlanta T+2 late? 6 moves over 2 turns with treat actions mixed). Total black cure ~T+3.
- Draw path: 61% chance of drawing black within 3 turns (6 draws). If drawn, cure immediately if at station — I won't be (I'm in Asia). Hmm! Being in Asia is the problem for BOTH paths. The walk to Atlanta happens regardless (~6 moves from Moscow region). So actually: after Moscow clear (turn T), I walk west: Moscow→St. Petersburg→Essen→London→New York→Washington→Atlanta? London→New York yes. 6 moves ≈ turns T+1..T+2, drawing 4-6 cards en route (good odds of the 5th black), cure at Atlanta T+2/T+3. And that same walk is needed after a Riyadh rendezvous anyway — so rendezvous saves nothing unless I fail to draw black. And rendezvous costs alice 4 actions + burns Sydney (her red sweep fuel? red cured, Sydney still useful for Asia mobility).

Better: skip rendezvous for now; both paths need me walking to Atlanta; draws along the way likely complete the set; Riyadh stays as backstop — and if I reach Atlanta without the 5th black, THEN alice's Riyadh trip + my 2-move... no wait, if I'm at Atlanta and set incomplete, I'd charter... ugh. Deal with that contingency later; a Government Grant drawn by alice in Atlanta could build a station closer to me mid-walk.

Actually smarter: after Moscow clear, walk SOUTH-EAST route toward Baghdad/Riyadh: Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad (2 moves), treat Baghdad (1), then either continue toward Kolkata (via Karachi/Delhi? Baghdad→Karachi→Delhi→Kolkata... hmm Karachi: Baghdad, Riyadh, Tehran, Mumbai, Delhi) — India has Delhi 1, Chennai 1, Bangkok 1 black + Kolkata 3. Cleaning that corridor on the way... but that's AWAY from Atlanta. Priorities: black supply is critical (10 left). Clearing Kolkata's 3 + corridor could wait? The reshuffle trap: Kolkata & Moscow in infect-discard; next epidemic re-arms them.

Simplest robust plan: this coming turn clear Moscow (4 actions). Turn after: walk Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh (3 moves) — reaching Riyadh! — and alice times her Sydney trip for the SAME turn (she needs 4 actions: 3 walks + charter? she needs 3 moves to Sydney then charter = 4). We co-locate in Riyadh end of that turn. Turn after: I take Riyadh (shareTake, 1 action) → set complete → then I walk Riyadh→Cairo→Algiers→Madrid→...6 moves to Atlanta while drawing. If I ALSO draw a black en route, I have a spare.

Hmm wait, actually if I'm going to Riyadh anyway (3 moves from Moscow via Tehran/Baghdad, cleaning Baghdad en route), and alice's Riyadh trip is 4 actions and completes my set with certainty — that beats gambling on draws while ALSO I still draw 2/turn during the walk back. And alice's alternative use of 4 actions: blue collection (she has Milan only, needs 4 blue total — she'd fly toward blue cities anyway).

Cost-benefit: rendezvous = alice 4 actions + Sydney burned. Benefit: black cure guaranteed ~2 turns earlier than the draw-gamble median. Black supply 10 is the loss clock. I think it's worth proposing.

Also she mentioned Government Grant first call = Middle East station — if she draws GG, station in Riyadh = cure on the spot after transfer.

Let me send this proposal, and pin updated plan. Alice is mid-turn (4 actions left) — she can reply next turn.

Message: outbreak #2 noted (probably Moscow/Kolkata chain? Actually what caused it? Infect phase: 2 cards. Maybe Moscow got its 3rd? No — Moscow shows 3 now and went INTO infect-discard... hmm, Moscow 3 means it was seeded to 3 earlier. The outbreak — maybe St. Petersburg or Tehran hit 4? St. Petersburg 1, Tehran 1 now. Whatever — 2/8.)

Keep message concise:
1. Next turn I clear Moscow fully (drive + 3 treats).
2. Then: turn after, I walk Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh (treating Baghdad en route if time). PROPOSAL: commit YOUR next-next turn to the Sydney walk + charter → Riyadh; we co-locate, you hand me Riyadh turn after → my set completes → I walk the 6 to Atlanta, drawing for spares. If you draw Government Grant before then, station in Riyadh/Baghdad and the cure lands on the spot.
3. Riyadh as backstop now upgradeable to primary.

Pin plan update too.

One check: she's at Shanghai — drive HK (Shanghai→? Shanghai connects HK? Shanghai: Beijing, Seoul, Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo. Yes Shanghai→HK adjacent), HK→Kolkata adjacent. Treat ×2 → Kolkata 3→1. Fine.

My turn now? This is just a pool message during... it says "Reply via send_message only if it helps; otherwise continue or stop." No state header — this is alice's turn still presumably.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (alice, pinned this turn):
  BLACK CURE ENDGAME: rendezvous in Riyadh. Alice sweeps Kolkata this turn (2 treats), then walks Kolkata→Delhi→Karachi→Riyadh (treat Delhi en route), parks in Riyadh, runs Baghdad treat loops while waiting. Bob clears Moscow (treat×3) next turn, then walks Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh treating Baghdad en route. On co-location Alice hands Bob Riyadh(black) = his 5th black card → he walks Riyadh→Baghdad→Tehran→Moscow→St. Petersburg→Essen→London→Madrid→New York→Washington→Atlanta (or charter when he holds his current-city card) to cure black at Atlanta. Before the handoff Bob sheds one non-black card (hand 7/7). Red: cured; Beijing 1 + Bangkok 1 red — Alice takes Beijing this-next pass, whoever's closer takes Bangkok; red eradication is 2 treats away. Blue: Alice collects (1/4, holds Milan); yellow: Bob collects (3/5). Government Grant, if drawn: station at Bob's black-cure position or a southern hub.
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

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 2 action(s) left this turn against 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 2 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.

POOL MESSAGE from bob (event #55): Confirmed — your Kolkata-first line is strictly better (defuses the reshuffle bomb AND gets you parked in Riyadh early). Timing locked: my next turn = drive Moscow + treat×3 (Moscow→0); turn+2 = walk Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh, skipping any treat you've already landed there; turn+3 = you hand me Riyadh in Riyadh, set complete, I start the 6-move walk to Atlanta drawing for spares. Keep Riyadh safe in hand until the handoff.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (alice, pinned this turn):
  BLACK CURE ENDGAME: rendezvous in Riyadh. Alice sweeps Kolkata this turn (2 treats), then walks Kolkata→Delhi→Karachi→Riyadh (treat Delhi en route), parks in Riyadh, runs Baghdad treat loops while waiting. Bob clears Moscow (treat×3) next turn, then walks Moscow→Tehran→Baghdad→Riyadh treating Baghdad en route. On co-location Alice hands Bob Riyadh(black) = his 5th black card → he walks Riyadh→Baghdad→Tehran→Moscow→St. Petersburg→Essen→London→Madrid→New York→Washington→Atlanta (or charter when he holds his current-city card) to cure black at Atlanta. Before the handoff Bob sheds one non-black card (hand 7/7). Red: cured; Beijing 1 + Bangkok 1 red — Alice takes Beijing this-next pass, whoever's closer takes Bangkok; red eradication is 2 treats away. Blue: Alice collects (1/4, holds Milan); yellow: Bob collects (3/5). Government Grant, if drawn: station at Bob's black-cure position or a southern hub.
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 2 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 2 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.

ACTION ECONOMY: you have 1 action(s) left this turn against 1 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 3 at 2.

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: 1 city(ies) sit at 3 cubes — each infect phase can
turn one into an outbreak, and outbreaks are how games are lost. Spending
actions to defuse a 3-cube city (move there + treat, see containment
routes) usually beats aimless play. Split targets with teammates.
EXCEPTION — cures outrank triage: treating NEVER wins the game, four
cures do. If the cure plan says you have a full set, or you can complete
one this turn, go cure it even while cities burn. Containment is how you
survive; cures are how you win.

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.

=== STATE ===
phase=playerActions turnOwner=bob  (actions left: 4)
you=bob role=contingencyPlanner at=Istanbul
cures: blue:none yellow:none black:none red:cured  outbreaks=3/8  infectionRate=2
stations: Atlanta
players: alice@Kolkata(scientist) hand=5 [Milan(blue), Sao Paulo(yellow), Riyadh(black), Sydney(red), event:forecast]  bob@Istanbul(contingencyPlanner) hand=7 [Los Angeles(yellow), Lima(yellow), Mumbai(black), Tehran(black), Moscow(black), Lagos(yellow), Baghdad(black)]
supply: blue:18 yellow:23 black:5 red:21   decks: player=35 infection=46   player-discard: 1 yellow, 1 black, 6 red
threats (cube counts, cluster membership, supply pressure, route cost from you, infect-discard — one row per city):
  Moscow: 3 black⚠ [cluster Kolkata–Chennai–Delhi–Tehran–Moscow: 12 cubes — matures to 3s costs 15+ treats] — 1 move(s): Moscow — or 1 action: direct flight (you hold Moscow — your 4/5 black set — burning drops it to 3/5; 6 black in deck, 1 held elsewhere; spend it only if this beats the cure)
  Delhi: 3 black⚠ [in infect-discard] [cluster Kolkata–Chennai–Delhi–Tehran–Moscow: 12 cubes — matures to 3s costs 15+ treats] [black supply 5 left, 19 on board, reshuffle trap] — 3 move(s): Moscow→Tehran→Delhi — nearer teammate: alice, 1 move(s) vs your 3
  Kolkata: 2 black [cluster Kolkata–Chennai–Delhi–Tehran–Moscow: 12 cubes — matures to 3s costs 15+ treats] — pre-empt (outbreak splash next door): 4 move(s): Moscow→Tehran→Delhi→Kolkata — nearer teammate: alice, 0 move(s) vs your 4
  Toronto: 2 blue — pre-empt (one draw from critical): 4 move(s): Algiers→Madrid→New York→Toronto
  San Francisco: 2 blue
  Chennai: 2 black [cluster Kolkata–Chennai–Delhi–Tehran–Moscow: 12 cubes — matures to 3s costs 15+ treats]
  Tehran: 2 black [cluster Kolkata–Chennai–Delhi–Tehran–Moscow: 12 cubes — matures to 3s costs 15+ treats] — pre-empt (outbreak splash next door): 2 move(s): Moscow→Tehran — or 1 action: direct flight (you hold Tehran — your 4/5 black set — burning drops it to 3/5; 6 black in deck, 1 held elsewhere; spend it only if this beats the cure)
  Hong Kong: 1 black, 1 red [in infect-discard]
  Baghdad: 1 black

  Beijing: 1 red
  Bangkok: 1 black, 1 red

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 35 cards → 17 player-turn(s) of draws left; 3 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~5 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: red: 3 cube(s) across 3 city(ies) → ~3 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: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 3, 7 in deck — margin 6 over the 5 needed
  black: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 4, 6 in deck — margin 6 over the 5 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: alice collects (1/4) — give alice your blue cards when you share
  yellow: YOU collect (3/5) — keep EVERY yellow card; nearest station Atlanta (5 move(s)) — or 2 action(s): go to Moscow (1 move(s)), then charter to Atlanta (spends Moscow(black)) (your 4/5 black set — burning drops it to 3/5; 6 black in deck, 1 held elsewhere; spend it only if this beats the cure)
  black: YOU collect (4/5) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (5 move(s)) — or 3 action(s): direct flight to Los Angeles (spends Los Angeles(yellow)), then 2 move(s) to Atlanta (your 3/5 yellow set — burning drops it to 2/5; 7 yellow in deck, 1 held elsewhere; spend it only if this beats the cure)
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  alice hands you Riyadh(black): meet IN Riyadh (the card's own city) — you 2 move(s), alice 3 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +6 move(s) to cure; HAND CAP: bob already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-black card to shed before committing — this transfer completes the set; shed the named card and discoverCure

⚠ 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.
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'.
  - defuse Moscow and return to Istanbul (round trip, 3 actions) — drive Moscow, treat black, drive Istanbul
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is black, 14 action(s) to land it — you collect; clears 1 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.0 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; returns 1 black (supply 6 after) to a strained supply
  dominated: shore up black at Moscow (supply strained: 5 left) — tempo -2 vs 0, risk 0.00 vs 0.00 — beaten by "defuse Moscow and return to Istanbul".
  dominated: defuse the armed discard bomb at Delhi (black — fires on the next epidemic reshuffle) — tempo -1 vs 0, risk 0.43 vs 0.00 — beaten by "defuse Moscow and return to Istanbul".

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.

⚠ SINCE YOUR LAST MESSAGE: outbreaks 2→3, 1 new 3-cube city — your team hasn't heard this from you yet.
