STANDING TEAM PLAN (alice, pinned 5 of your turn(s) ago): PLAN v6 (post-CURE#1-yellow; supersedes v5.1). SCORE: yellow cured, outbreaks 1/8; epidemic#2 spent (Intensify re-seeded discards; Toronto card DELETED permanently via bob's RP). CURES: BLACK = next target, ALICE FULL 5/5 SET IN HAND (Riyadh/Karachi/Delhi/Kolkata/Cairo) — delivery is pure TRAVEL: alice self-hikes west ~9 legs via Delhi→Tehran→Istanbul/London/NY corridor → Atlanta (or convergent city w/ station), cure #2 fires on arrival round; role asymmetry locked (dispatcher rides are bob-ward only, HOME RUN retired as two-way). BLUE = bob collector — Europe beat LIVE this cycle: bucket Essen3⚠→StP2(2cube)→Toronto-wipe(medic auto since RP'd? no—treats)→Madrid/NY mopup; bob walks from Atlanta side. RED = alice margin≥4 spare-class, Bangkok3⚠ stack = alice TODAY (drive+treat×3), HCMC splash-partner loss folds red-east; Shanghai stays sacred. YELLOW done. FUEL-CLASS RESTATED: blue/yellow/black SET cards never fuel ever; red singles at margin≥5 are the only legal burn class (post-Taipei rule); events NEVER sheds while playable-in-phase possible. CONTINGENCY: Karachi black-card may charter-fuel ONLY emergency reroute (last-resort exception logged by mutual ack). RENDEZVOUS: Istanbul/London overlap mid-corridor for watchdog coverage; GG/AIRLIFT instant-ping both directions remains highest-priority trigger. Re-pin triggers ahead: cure#2 landed, epidemic#3, supply crash <10 any color, or co-location changes routing. 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 Ho Chi Minh City (3 red), Manila (3 red), Kinshasa (3 yellow), Hong Kong (3 red), Jakarta (3 red) — 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. === STATE === phase=playerActions turnOwner=bob (actions left: 4) you=alice role=dispatcher at=Buenos Aires cures: blue:none yellow:cured black:cured red:none outbreaks=7/8 infectionRate=3 stations: Atlanta, Kolkata players: alice@Buenos Aires(dispatcher) hand=3 [Shanghai(red), Chicago(blue), London(blue)] bob@Delhi(medic) hand=7 [Madrid(blue), Toronto(blue), Beijing(red), Essen(blue), Seoul(red), Paris(blue), Milan(blue)] supply: blue:15 yellow:21 black:16 red:1⚠ decks: player=15 infection=38 player-discard: 4 blue, 10 yellow, 10 black, 3 red threats (cube counts, cluster membership, supply pressure, route cost from you, infect-discard — one row per city): Ho Chi Minh City: 3 red⚠ [in infect-discard] [cluster Ho Chi Minh City–Jakarta–Manila–Taipei–Bangkok–Kolkata–Hong Kong: 19 cubes — matures to 3s costs 21+ treats] [red supply CRITICAL — 1 left, phase demand up to 27, reshuffle trap] Toronto: 3 blue⚠ [cluster Toronto–New York: 5 cubes — matures to 3s costs 6+ treats] Manila: 3 red⚠ [in infect-discard] [cluster Ho Chi Minh City–Jakarta–Manila–Taipei–Bangkok–Kolkata–Hong Kong: 19 cubes — matures to 3s costs 21+ treats] — 5 move(s): Bogota→Mexico City→Los Angeles→San Francisco→Manila — or 3 action(s): direct flight to Chicago (spends Chicago(blue)), then 2 move(s) to Manila — nearer teammate: bob, 3 move(s) vs your 5 Bangkok: 3 red⚠ [in infect-discard] [cluster Ho Chi Minh City–Jakarta–Manila–Taipei–Bangkok–Kolkata–Hong Kong: 19 cubes — matures to 3s costs 21+ treats] — 5 move(s): Bogota→Miami→Atlanta→(shuttle)Kolkata→Bangkok — or 4 action(s): go to Chicago (3 move(s)), then charter to Bangkok (spends Chicago(blue)) — nearer teammate: bob, 2 move(s) vs your 5 Kinshasa: 3 yellow⚠ Hong Kong: 3 red⚠ [cluster Ho Chi Minh City–Jakarta–Manila–Taipei–Bangkok–Kolkata–Hong Kong: 19 cubes — matures to 3s costs 21+ treats] — 5 move(s): Bogota→Miami→Atlanta→(shuttle)Kolkata→Hong Kong — or 4 action(s): go to Chicago (3 move(s)), then charter to Hong Kong (spends Chicago(blue)) — nearer teammate: bob, 2 move(s) vs your 5 Jakarta: 3 red⚠ [cluster Ho Chi Minh City–Jakarta–Manila–Taipei–Bangkok–Kolkata–Hong Kong: 19 cubes — matures to 3s costs 21+ treats] — 5 move(s): Bogota→Mexico City→Los Angeles→Sydney→Jakarta — or 4 action(s): go to Chicago (3 move(s)), then charter to Jakarta (spends Chicago(blue)) — nearer teammate: bob, 2 move(s) vs your 5 Baghdad: 2 black [in infect-discard] [cluster Baghdad–Karachi: 4 cubes — matures to 3s costs 6+ treats] Karachi: 2 black [in infect-discard] [cluster Baghdad–Karachi: 4 cubes — matures to 3s costs 6+ treats] New York: 2 blue [in infect-discard] [cluster Toronto–New York: 5 cubes — matures to 3s costs 6+ treats] — pre-empt (re-infection risk after an epidemic): 3 move(s): Sao Paulo→Madrid→New York — or 2 action(s): direct flight to London (spends London(blue)), then 1 move(s) to New York Kolkata: 2 black, 2 red [in infect-discard] [cluster Ho Chi Minh City–Jakarta–Manila–Taipei–Bangkok–Kolkata–Hong Kong: 19 cubes — matures to 3s costs 21+ treats] Taipei: 2 red [cluster Ho Chi Minh City–Jakarta–Manila–Taipei–Bangkok–Kolkata–Hong Kong: 19 cubes — matures to 3s costs 21+ treats] Madrid: 1 blue Cairo: 1 black London: 1 blue Paris: 1 blue Milan: 1 blue Mumbai: 1 black San Francisco: 1 red Chennai: 1 red Shanghai: 1 red Sydney: 1 red === SIGNALS === deck clock: 15 cards → 7 player-turn(s) of draws left;

Step 1 · {"synthetic": false, "servedModel": null} reasoning: ```text This is catastrophic news. Let me read the state carefully. **OUTBREAKS: 7/8.** It jumped from 2/8 to 7/8 in ONE night!! The red-east cluster detonated catastrophically. Five outbreak chain (2→7 = 5 outbreaks overnight — the red supply CRITICAL alarm: "red supply 1⚠ left" with the entire cluster of cities stuck at 3 cubes each: HCMC 3, Manila 3, Bangkok 3, Hong Kong 3, Jakarta 3, Kolkata has 2red+2black, Taipei 2, etc.). THE EXISTENTIAL FACT: **RED SUPPLY = 1 CUBE LEFT.** The loss condition: "a disease cube must be placed but its color's supply is empty." With red supply at 1 and SIX cities at/near 3 cubes of red (HCMC3/Manila3/Bangkok3/HK3/Jakarta3 each needing +1 to outbreak... they're AT 3 so any further red placement there triggers OUTBREAK instead — outbreaks consume no cubes! Wait — when an outbreak occurs, the city does NOT get a 4th cube; instead each CONNECTED city gets 1 cube. So the supply drains through splash cubes on neighbors!). Actually let me think about what happened last night per this board: it seems the HCMC/HK/Bangkok/Manila/Jakarta all hit 3 — the east exploded via multiple flips at rate-3 (and possibly outbreak chains — outbreaks went 2→7, meaning FIVE outbreaks occurred overnight!). Each outbreak splashes connected cities. That's how Taipei got 2, Kolkata got 2red, SF/Chennai/Shanghai/Sydney got singles. RED SUPPLY CHECK: 24 total − on-board-cubes. Supply line says "red:1⚠". So 23 red cubes are ON THE BOARD. The next time any red cube placement is REQUIRED: - If a city at <3 gets red: uses a cube from the 1 remaining → OK once. - If that happens again after supply hits 0: **LOSS.** - Cities AT 3 receiving a red infect card trigger OUTBREAK (no new cubes needed for THAT city, but every neighbor takes 1 cube EACH). Neighbor cities below 3 take real cubes from supply. With several 3-stacked red cities adjacent (HK-Bangkok-HCMC-Manila-Taipei-Kolkata form a dense web!), one flip can cascade into MANY required cube placements. E.g., Bangkok flip → outbreak → HK/HCMC/etc +1 each. HCMC flip → outbreak → Manila+Bangkok+HK+Jakarta already AT 3?? If a neighbor is ALREADY at 3 during an outbreak splash, IT OUTBREAKS TOO (chain), cascading. So we are ONE Infect Phase away near-guaranteed death unless: 1. Bob lands cure #4-red? NO WAIT — bob holds BLUE set. Blue cure = #3 TODAY on his opening [drive Kolkata / discoverCure blue]. Red cure still needs consolidation (bob has Beijing+Seoul, I hold Shanghai; needs meetings/rendezvous). 2. WE DE-PRESSURIZE RED NOW. Only treatDisease returns red cubes to supply. Every red cube removed = survival margin. But treating uncured red only removes 1/action except my medic teammate — BOB is medic. On HIS turn-opening he's driving to Kolkata then curing blue — 2 actions — leaving him 2 actions which can be spent anywhere IF he were adjacent to red stacks... he's at Delhi, 1 move from Kolkata. CRITICAL PATH ANALYSIS — WHERE CAN TREATS REACH RED TONIGHT? Tonight's infect phase will flip 3 cards (rate 3) from infection deck (38 cards, includes HCMC/Manila/Bangkok/HK/Jakarta at top segments probably — knownTopSegment earlier showed Ho Chi Minh City and Manila at positions 4-5!). The "knownTopSegment" from my last preview (event before): ["Essen","Kolkata","Mumbai","Ho Chi Minh City","Manila"] size 6 unknown 1 — that was turns ago though; much has flipped since. Actually — THE DANGER MATH: if tonight's 3 flips include even TWO of the five red 3-stacks (HCMC/Manila/Bangkok/HK/Jakarta), chain reactions could demand MORE than 1 remaining cube → LOSS instantly. Wait wait. Let me recount the loss condition precisely: "cube must be placed but its color's supply is empty." When a city at 3 gets its card: OUTBREAK — place 1 cube on EACH CONNECTED city. If those cities are also at 3 → THEY OUTBREAK TOO (chained, each once per card). Neighbor cities NOT at max take 1 real cube each FROM SUPPLY (if available). If a connected city is not in quarantine and would exceed... e.g., HK(3) flip: neighbors Shanghai, Taipei, Kolkata, Bangkok, HCMC, Manila ALL ≥3 or 2... Taipei2→3 (real cube), Kolkata2→3 (real cube), Shanghai1→2(real), others AT 3 → chained outbreaks → THEIR neighbors: Taipei (again once-per-card exempt as it already took?), Manila's neighbors: Taipei(3 now? chain rules)... Honestly: with supply=1, ANY single red infectious event that requires placing ≥2 fresh red cubes into sub-max cities KILLS US UNLESS those placements stop due to supply exhaustion MID-CASCADE — actually NO: running out mid-resolve = immediate LOSS, no partial credit. Therefore tonight red cards flipping = near-certain loss UNLESS red becomes CURED first? IMPORTANT: The OUTBREAK mechanic doesn't care about cures. Cure only affects... hmm, actually CURED diseases still infect/outbreak normally! Cure ≠ eradication. Cube placement STILL HAPPENS for cured diseases. So curing red does NOT stop cube drain either!! The ONLY things that protect against supply-out tonight: (a) Removing enough red cubes from board BEFORE tonight so the cascade finds room (supply goes up by treats; treat actions TODAY/TOMORROW morning). (b) One Quiet Night skip event (not in anyone's hand). (c) Quarantine Specialist role — NEITHER of us has it. So the clock is THIS NIGHT. What can happen between now and tonight's infect phase? - BOB'S TURN NOW (playerActions phase = bob, 4 actions, awaitingDiscard pending? No — state says phase=playerActions turnOwner=bob — good, he has his full 4 actions + MUST discard first? No, discard came earlier: his hand is exactly 7 ✓). BOB'S OPTIMAL RESPONSE TODAY (medic + adjacent): He's at Delhi. His pinned plan: [drive Kolkata / discoverCure BLUE] + then east toward reds. NEW PRIORITY GIVEN 7/8 + RED SUPPLY=1: Option analysis for bob's 4 actions: A) [drive Kolkata / discoverCure BLUE] then [drive Bangkok? No—Kolkata→Bangkok drive] → arrives Bangkok with 0 actions left to treat. Net tonight: bangkok still 3. B) Skip blue cure: [drive Delhi→Kolkata / treat black? red?] — Kolkata has 2red+2black! Medic treat RED removes ALL cubes of a color... medic treats remove ALL cubes of that color ANYWHERE?? No — medic treat removes all cubes OF A COLOR IN THE CITY HE STANDS IN. At Kolkata standing: treat RED → clears BOTH red cubes (medic auto-all, still requires the disease be treated... treat costs 1 action, removes ALL red cubes in Kolkata=2 → supply 1→3). Then treat BLACK similarly clears Kolkata blacks. But these are drops in the ocean vs 5 cities at 3. C) MOST SURVIVAL-EFFICIENT: STOP THE CASCADE AT THE SOURCE — the cascade consumes cubes ONLY on sub-max neighbors. Actually here's a subtle rescue: if ALL connected neighbors are ALREADY AT MAX (3), an outbreak chain places ZERO real cubes (chained outbreaks only)! Look: HK's six neighbors: Shanghai(1), Taipei(2), Kolkata(2r), Bangkok(3), HCMC(3), Manila(3). Any flip involving HK forces: Bangkok/HCMC/Manila chain-outbreaks (no cubes) BUT their OTHER neighbors: Manila→SF... no wait Manila's neighbors: SF(1r!), Taipei(2), HK(3→already). HCMC neighbors: HK, BKK, Manila, Jakarta — Jakarta at 3 chains too. Jakarta neighbors: Chennai(1r), BKK(chain-exempt), HCMC(exempt), Sydney(1r). So one bad flip can force ~4-6 REAL red cube placements → supply dies (only 1 exists) → INSTANT LOSS. Multiple cards likely flip: probability severe. REAL RESCUE VECTORS tonight: i) REDUCE red cubes in high-danger pockets to below-max so cascades find room WITHOUT new supply need?? NO — reducing cubes RAISES the chance that a placement finds a non-max city, which USES the last cube, THEN the second needed cube → death. COUNTERINTUITIVE TRUTH: with supply=1, sub-max neighboring cities are LANDMINES. Max-saturated clusters are self-extinguishing chains!!! Let me verify saturation status: the big red pocket cities ALL at 3: HCMC✓3, Manila✓3, Bangkok✓3, HK✓3, Jakarta✓3, Taipei 2 (!), Kolkata 2 (!), Shanghai 1(!), SF 1(!), Chennai 1(!), Sydney 1(!). UNSATURATED red-bearing nodes: Taipei(2→can take 1 more), Kolkata(2), Shanghai(1), SF(1), Chennai(1), Sydney(1) = SIX unsaturated landmine slots needing only 2 cubes (Taipei&Kolkata) to reach saturation... IF Taipei and Kolkata reach 3, then EVERY red-connected node in the east web is at 3, and ALL future east-red flips become zero-consumption chain cascades (outbreaks marker climbs though — 7/8 means ONE more outbreak = DEATH TOO!!!). OH GOD. THE OUTBREAKS MARKER IS AT 7/8. Next SINGLE OUTBREAK ANYWHERE = GAME OVER regardless of cubes!!! That reframes everything: ANY chain = instant loss (first outbreak in chain hits the skull). Tonight: any flip of HCMC/Manila/Bangkok/HK/Jakarta/Kinshasa/Toronto card = ANY single outbreak = DEATH. - Kinshasa yellow-card flip → Kinshasa@3 → OUTBREAK#8 = DEATH. Kinshasa card is IN THE DISCARD?? Yellow discard was reshuffled by ep#3... which ep? ep#3 fired two nights ago (Intensify put old discards incl possibly kinshasa-cards back on top). Kinshasa's card location: it entered board freshly this cycle... its infect card is in the DECK (not discard) since it just appeared — unknowable position. RISK EXISTS. - Toronto3 flip → Toronto unsaturated neighbors (Chicago2? Montreal? Chicago blue count currently? Chicago not listed in threats → 0 blue!? earlier lists showed Chicago none, NY2, Washington?→Washington 0?!) Toronto flip: neighbors Chicago(0→takes1 blue), NY(2→takes1→3 fine), Montreal?no—Toronto borders Chicago/Washington/NY/Montreal(no). Wait map: Toronto–Chicago, Washington, New York. Chicago 0blue → takes 1 (fine), Washington 0? earlier Wash 0 → fine. NY 2→3. SO TORONTO FLIP = NO OUTBREAK (nobody overflows): SAFE-ish consumption of blue cubes. - Essen3 flip (discarded right now?? "Essen in infect-discard"? Current threats: Essen not listed → 0?! Wait threats list shows Madrid/London/Paris/Milan 1-blue each — ESSEN GONE?? YES — look: threats list lacks Essen AND StP entirely!!! BOB'S TURN LAST-NIGHT covered... his route yesterday per his #146: he drove Delhi↔Kolkata region only... Hmm, actually re-read bob's message #151: his post-cure day = [Kolkata→Bangkok→HCMC treats]... That hasn't HAPPENED yet (his cure action fires today). But Essen/StP absent from threat table = someone WIPED THEM: looking back — my memory v5 note says bob's Europe beat wiped Essen/was heading StP... events #105-120 implied bob's complex-clear completed ("my acts: full ESSEN wipe..." #115) AND presumably StP too on his way east ("preposition INTO StP" → "east rail Milan-Istanbul-Moscow-Tehran-Delhi" with free passes). Whatever history: BOARD NOW SHOWS Essen=StP=GONE (blues back at their singleton 1s). GOOD. SO CURRENT FULL 3-STACK LIST (outbreak-death candidates if their card flips): HCMC(r), Manila(r), Bangkok(r), HongKong(r), Jakarta(r), Kinshasa(y), Toronto(b). SEVEN live tripwires with supply RED at 1. IMMEDIATE ACTIONS TODAY — whose turn: BOB (turnOwner=bob, 4 actions). MY HAND HAS 2 BLUE CARDS (Chicago+London drew last night)!! Interesting — alice now holds Chicago(blue)+London(blue)+Shanghai(red). Bob's MUST-RANK priorities: 1. He cannot cure red yet (needs Shanghai — mine — or drawings; Seoul/Beijing already his: consolidation needs ME meeting him or SHANGHAI-draw). 2. His best CONTAINMENT actions reachable: [drive Kolkata] (1) → stands on 2red+2black stack! [treat red @Kolkata]: medic-all → Kolkata red 2→0!! supply 1→3 (or 5 later count includes refunds immediately: red supply=1+2=3) (2 actions total used), [treat black]: blacks 16→17+2 refunded (3rd action), 4th action: drive toward east? Delhi (back west?) useless or... [charter/direct flight somewhere] he has Mumbai-black+Baghdad-black+Milan-blue+Paris-blue+Madrid-blue+Essen-blue faces — from Kolkata direct-flight Mumbai-card? Mumbai card held → flight DELHI-side irrelevant... he could charter toward... Hold on — BIGGER IDEA: THE BULK SATURATION PLAY. With red supply=1, the lethal mechanism is cascade-demand>supply within one resolution OR first outbreak at 7/8. The single highest-value use of ANYONE's treats: push the UNSATURATED eastern red nodes TO SATURATION?? You can't ADD cubes. Treat-only world: REMOVE risk instead. ALTERNATIVE GRAND STRATEGY: ERADICATION-style defusing of tripwires: medic-strength wipes of whichever 3-stack he can REACH fastest: Delhi→Kolkata(HK-route: Kolkata borders HK!) — [drive Kolkata/treat-red/treat-black] kills Kolkata's pocket fully (Kolkata becomes CLEAN both colors: it sits INSIDE the red web — removing ITS 2 red cubes makes Kolkata a "landmine-free splash absorber" for future chains AND its card-flips become harmless 1-cube-refills... supply grows net positive). Then remaining actions: DRIVE Kolkata→Hong Kong (1 leg)!!! Then NEXT HIS TURN he wipe-alls HK=3red!!! And I (alice turn comes AFTER his — order: bob's actions → draw/infect TONIGHT → then MY turn → then his...) hmm wait turn order alternates alice/bob — RIGHT NOW IT'S BOB'S ACTION PHASE; tonight's infect phase follows HIS draw. So treats he performs TODAY directly change tonight's dice! Treat-economy ranking for bob today (survival math): -olkata treat-red: REMOVES 2 red from board permanently-equivalent (to supply buffer) AND un-arms the second-worst landmine. 1 action. - Then [drive Kolkata→Hong Kong]: 1 action (adjacent). Arrives EMPTY-handed (no actions left if he did cure? he CAN'T do everything...). PRIORITY COLLISION: BLUE CURE TODAY vs SURVIVAL TREATS vs positioning. Game theory: FIRST-ORDER LOSE CONDITION outranks cure tempo. Outbreak#8 fire = instant loss EVEN WITH 3 cures banked. The seven live tripwires × rate-3 flips ≈ very-high joint probability SOMETHING explodes tonight (each maybe 5-15%×7, plus knownTopSegment memory had HCMC/Manila EARLY in deck segments...). ~30-50% death-by-dawn odds otherwise. CAN ANYTHING ACTUALLY DEFUSE ALL TRIPWIRES BEFORE TONIGHT? Total budget this round before infect phase = bob's 4 actions ONLY (mine come after the infect phase — TOO LATE for tonight). - Defuse requirements: enter + treat = 2 actions per 3-stack (unless already positioned). - Bob positioned at Delhi(0 progress from any). Cheapest combos: * 2-action combo at KOLKATA (walk+treat-red) removes the DOUBLE-DANGER node (its own flip-with-2-red can't outbreak at 2, but contributes splash-absorption) PLUS refund. LOW kills. * 4-action combo: [drive Kolkata / drive HK / treat-red-HK(medic-wipes ALL 3!!)] = 3 actions → HK becomes 0!!! 4th action: treat black? none at HK. Or ANOTHER drive deeper? nothing else treatable same-turn. - CRITICAL MEDIC FACT: at HK standing, his ONE treat wipes ALL THREE hong-kong reds. HK is the single most CONNECTED node (6 edges) — its flip cascades widest. Killing it removes THE worst tripwire AND pre-poisons tomorrow (his next morning can [drive Bangkok→wipe]/[HCMC→wipe] etc.) BLUE CURE DEFERRAL COST: bob would keep 7-hand+set intact; next cycle discoverCure still possible (station stays!). The deck-clock has 8 player-turns; delaying blue cure by half-a-round costs little ABSOLUTE tempo but risks: drawing epidemic/overflow forcing blue-shed (his hand is exactly 7/7 safe; draws tonight push to 9 → shed 2 NON-blues legally — Beijing/Seoul RED vs scouting rule... messy but survivable). VERDICT FOR BOB (I'm the inactive advisor right now — must SEND MESSAGE ADVICE NOW): [drive Kolkata → drive Hong Kong → treat red ×? ] wait he reaches HK with 1 action left → treat red at HK = wipes ALL 3!!! Sequence: act1 drive Kolkata, act2 drive HK(actually check adjacency: Kolkata-HK edge? Map: Kolkata: Delhi,Chennai,Bangkok,Hong Kong ✓; HK neighbors: Shanghai,Taipei,Kolkata,Bangkok,HCMC,Manila ✓ adjacent), act3 treatDisease(red)@HK → -3 red, supply 1→4!!! act4 EITHER treat(red AGAIN?? none left at HK) → treat impossible; better: act4 = buildStation? costs card(Kolkata-black held? bob holds Mumbai+Baghdad black faces, NOT Kolkata-card — mine burned it). act4 options: NOTHING useful at HK except... HK has only red. So act4 = prep tomorrow: stay or step? STEPPING wastes saturation—no, stepping for position: back toward Kolkata→Bangkok staging? Hmm: alternatively SWAP act1: skip Kolkata walk: Delhi→(flight?)—he has Mumbai(black)-face = direct-flight-city-card lets him fly TO Mumbai only. Worthless direction. KEEP [DDKK, DDKH, treat-red]. 4th action honestly: 'treatDisease color blue'? not present. PASS/endActions? "Unused actions lost forever"—fine. ALTERNATIVE 4th: after HK wipe, walk BACK Kolkata in anticipation of [Bangkok-wipe tomorrow morning 2-step]? Tomorrow morning his plan wanted [drive Kolkata / cure BLUE]... CONFLICT: if he's stationed HK tonight, tomorrow = [drive Kolkata(crossing web)/drive Kolkata-station/cure-blue] eats his morning anyway. Eh—he CAN cure blue from Kolkata station whenever he physically returns (2 legs from HK). NET PLAN SENT: HL-recommendation: prioritize HK wipe TODAY (3 red off-board supply→4, deadliest tripwire disarmed, medic-auto value maximized); blue-cure slides to tomorrow-morning post-return [HK→Kolkata→station-cure] = HALF-day cost, absorbed by our cushion; ACCEPT the higher 8-loss risk from tonight's red Web remaining armed minus HK... wait ALSO notice: something else NOW: My next turn (post-tonight-infect) begins wherever I stand (Buenos Aires)... far away. Nothing I can do about the web tonight regardless. One more possibility: DISCARD PHASE hasn't run for me? My hand: exactly 3 ✓ clean. Also warn bob explicitly: DO NOT spend a single action curing-blue-today given the web threat — cite conflict-rule override properly. AND the deepest point: with outbreaks=7, even successful subsequent INFECT phases remain Russian roulette until red cards are OFF the rotation (impossible without eradicating=clearing ALL red boardside—needs many cycles) — OR building One-Quiet-night stock... GG/airstrike events can't stop infects. ONLY OQN skips a phase — watch for it in discards; RP gives nothing here (reshuffle targets gone basically). FORECAST: would be GOLD (bury the tripwire cards under trash) but forecast SPENT long ago... ARRGH. So survival formula pending cards: minimize trips by wiping sources fast: HK today(bob); then me:buenos->saopaulo->lagos->kinshasa(wipe-yellows tomorrow-mine); bob:HCMC/Manila/Bangkok wipes over coming mornings at 2-actions-each-pair... simultaneously racing the nightly roulette (~35-60%/night joint). Cinder-side the moment red-consolidation lands a cure, supply-death pressure halves (treated cubes re-enter the pool DURING treatments themselves regardless of cures — the -3 return on HK treat ALREADY helps: supply 1→4 buys roughly one cascade's worth of grace). Fine—the urgent task NOW: send urgent tactical message to bob mid-his-turn.

Step 1 · {"synthetic": false, "servedModel": null} reasoning: ```text STOP. This is a board state that demands total re-read. alice's emergency message says outbreaks 7/8 and red supply 1 — and the live state CONFIRMS: outbreaks=7/8, red supply 1⚠, infectionRate=3. The "SINCE YOUR LAST MESSAGE" line says outbreaks went 2→7 and 4 new 3-cube cities formed since my last message. Wait, how did outbreaks jump from 2 to 7 during ALICE'S TURN? Let me think... During her turn: she executed the Mexico-City fuel burn → Bogota → treat-all BA plan... but the board shows massive chain events instead. Outbreaks 2→7 means FIVE outbreaks fired. What happened? Her turn's draw phase + infect phase fired after her actions — with FOUR epidemic-adjacent events apparently cascading. Actually wait — we were at 2/8 last cycle; her turn-end phases (draws/infect) must have hit MULTIPLE epidemics or chained outbreaks in the red-east web. The threat table now shows a 19-cube mega-cluster (HCMC/Jakarta/Manila/Taipei/Bangkok/Kolkata/Hong Kong), HCMC/Manila/Bangkok/HK/Jakarta all at 3 red, Kolkata has 2 black+2 red, Toronto3 blue still alive, Kinshasa3 yellow (BA cleared apparently — supply yellow recovered to 21). Red supply = 1 cube left — CRITICAL. One more red cube placement beyond available → LOSS by depletion ("a disease cube must be placed but its color's supply is empty"). And outbreaks at 7/8 → ONE more outbreak ANYWHERE ends the game. alice's override request: DELAY blue cure one half-day, walk Delhi→Kolkata→Hong Kong, medic-treat HK (-3 red cubes, supply 1→4), hold position; cure tomorrow morning returning HK→Kolkata→discoverCure. Assess her math against MY OWN read: 1. Red supply 1 is a LOSS CONDITION LIVE TONIGHT: infect phase flips rate-3 cards each night. Any red cube placement on cities already holding cubes CONSUMES supply (1 cube only covers an EMPTY-city single placement!). Actually mechanics: placing a cube takes from supply. With supply=1, the SECOND red placement attempt tonight fails → immediate loss UNLESS we return cubes first. The east web cards are ALL in infect-discard currently tagged? Look: HCMC [in infect-discard], Manila [in], Bangkok [in] — all three marked "in infect-discard"... but wait, epidemic#4-5?? No — those tags mean their cards sit in discard → shielded tonight UNLESS reshuffle. BUT the web Grew anyway overnight meaning either reshuffle happened mid-turn-chains or direct draws. Current phase discipline: tonight's infect flips rate-3 UNKNOWN fresh cards; the discard-shields on HCMC/Manila/Bangkok HOLD unless an EPIDEMIC fires tonight (deck ~15 player-cards left; 15→13 draws happen; P(epidemic)=2 remaining epids among 15 = ~26% per full 2-draw phase). If NO epidemic tonight: only unshielded flips matter — which red singles exist off-discard? Chennai1/SF1/Shanghai1/Sydney1/Kolkata(red 2!! in-discard)/Taipei2 (not tagged!) — Taipei untagged = ITS CARD IS IN DECK. A Taipei flip adds 1 cube (supply 1→0, survivable) then NEXT placement anywhere dies. Toronto's card also untagged (blue side, different supply=15 fine). So without epidemic tonight: worst-case red placements ≈ Taipei1 (+Kolkata-red if its card flips while in-discard? no—shielded) → supply survives barely (1→0), game lives. WITH epidemic tonight (~26%): reshuffle re-seeds HCMC/Manila/Bangkok/Kolkata-red etc; even ONE red card at 3-stack firing = OUTBREAK#8 = INSTANT LOSS regardless of supply. 2. The HK defuse changes exactly that ledger: it returns 3 cubes (1→4) AND removes HK as an outbreak-amplifier. But HK's red card isn't listed as 'in infect-discard'... looking: Hong Kong row lacks [in infect-discard] tag! Same for Kinshasa/Toronto/Jakarta(no tag), Taipei(no tag). So HK's card is LIVE IN DECK tonight → HK card could flip at rate-3 window: it holds 3 red already → FLIP = OUTBREAK #8 = GAME OVER TONIGHT (~each unshielded 3-stack card contributes maybe 1/38-ish per-flip × 3 cards per night ≈ 8% combined per night, higher across multiple nights). alice's math: delaying cure#3 by HALF A DAY costs nothing structurally (bank stays intact); HK-treat removes BOTH the imminent-outbreak tripwire AND funds supply 1→4 against Taipei-class trickle AND softens any reshape cascade (HK being 3-connected node anchors the 19-cube web). Probability math: removing 1 of ~3 live 3-stacks cuts tonight's auto-loss dice roughly by a third, PLUS depleting-web anchor effects compound through tomorrow. CURE-DOWN counter-argument (my instinct): landing blue instantly reduces... what does a cure do vs tonight? Cured diseases STOP INFECTING — blue cures kills TORONTO's future growth but toronto's already 3/3 and its card flip would outbreak EITHER WAY before any post-cure wipe pass. Red supply remains 1 through tonight under cure-first → same ~6% depletion risk, and outbreak-side exposure IDENTICAL (cure doesn't defuse any existing stack until someone WALKS treats them later). So cure-first protects NOTHING tonight that HK-defuse doesn't protect better; cure-first only banks #3 half-day earlier with ZERO exposure cost (cards stay intact at station). alice's math REFUTES CLEANLY — she's right: pure survival tempo beats banked-tempo this specific night. My own mission-split doctrine (containment when ledgers scream) lands exactly here at skull-edge 7/8+critical-supply. Sequencing choice refinement inside her ask: [Delhi→Kolkata / Kolkata→HK / treat-red@HK(-3) / spare action]. Spare options for act4: hold-in-HK (pass)... better: is there anything? Chennai adjacent to Delhi-route... Chennai is RED 1 — walking there doesn't clear without treat-action spent... spares exhausted if I add Chennai-walk I lose the redundancy of finishing in-HK-position?? Act sequence fixed 1-3 mandatory; act4: END IN HK holding position (defense posture max-value: HK absorbs NOTHING extra tonight physically — quarantine shield isn't mine... position itself grants zero mechanical shield for medic; only sentimental value). Alternative act4: drive Kolkata BACK toward station (saving tomorrow 1 leg!) — HK→Kolkata is adjacent too: end turn KOLKATA-side so tomorrow opens discoverCure directly! That compresses her compensation timeline by one leg. YES — file: [drive Kolkata][drive Hong Kong][treat red @HK -3][drive back-to-Kolkata]. Tomorrow opens AT STATION with cure#3 act1. Lose nothing extra. Also flag supply-of-my-turn-after-effects: my turn-end tonight ALSO runs draws(15→13, epi ~26%)+infect(rate3) — accepting that risk knowingly (no legal mitigation exists beyond HK treatment chosen; Forecast/RP/OQN gone... quarantine... none in hand: both our hands pure city cards now [mine 7 cities, hers 3]). Decide: ACCEPT alice override fully with the return-leg upgrade. Then pin v7 emergency doctrine + message confirmation + execute 4 drives/treats immediately (act-by-act verification prudent given stakes? preview once: [Kolkata, HK, treatRed, Kolkata-back]). Message contents (URGENT but tight): acceptance + amendment, tonight-risk decomposition shared, morning compensation acknowledgment (her Kinshasa run confirmed), red-consolidation note (Shanghai-hers + Beijing/Seoul-mine waiting for post-surge books), crisis-format promise if 8th fires anyway. Pin v7: EMERGENCY NIGHT DOCTRINE text. Execute fast — preview first for mechanical certainty, then submit actions sequentially as they come back. ``` text: ```text Her emergency override **survives every refutation attempt** — checking it against tonight's actual loss conditions rather than reflexive cure-banking: with outbreaks at 7/8 and red supply at **1**, a banked-but-unplayed blue cure protects literally nothing tonight — it stops no existing stack, refunds no supply, and Hong Kong's red card is *live in the deck* (one flip = outbreak #8 = instant loss), while Taipei-class unshielded singles can drain the last red cube into a second simultaneous loss condition. The HK strike returns supply 1→4, deletes the most dangerous live tripwire *and* the biggest cascade anchor, and the set loses nothing parked at the station's doorstep. **One amendment upgrades her filing**: act 4 walks BACK to Kolkata overnight (HK–Kolkata adjacency makes it free), so tomorrow opens standing IN the station — cure #3 at first light with zero return leg.

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 Ho Chi Minh City (3 red), Toronto (3 blue), Manila (3 red), Bangkok (3 red), Jakarta (3 red) — 3-cube cities that matured after (or were left out of) the pin.

Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing.

RE-PIN TRIGGERS: survival tonight confirmed → morning pin v8 with salvage/rebalance details; OR epidemic/chain fires → crisis-format immediately. 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 Ho Chi Minh City (3 red), Toronto (3 blue), Manila (3 red), Bangkok (3 red), Jakarta (3 red) — 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 2 action(s) left this turn against 7 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 5 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.

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 Ho Chi Minh City (3 red), Toronto (3 blue), Manila (3 red), Bangkok (3 red), Jakarta (3 red) — 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 0 action(s) left this turn against 6 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 5 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: 6 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.

Step 1 · {"synthetic": false, "servedModel": null} reasoning: ```text Alice's self-corrected final ruling: shed [Tehran(black) + Madrid(blue)], keep all reds including HCMC. The hint table supports: Tehran "black CURED — worthless, discard freely"; Madrid has 2 blue spares (set complete, shedding keeps assemblable). HCMC red is marked short — she prohibits it. Good. One caveat: Madrid-blue was in the COMPLETE set (Madrid/Toronto/Essen/Paris/Milan = 5/5). Shedding Madrid post-discovery is fine — the cure doesn't require holding cards after discovery; the discard happens BEFORE discoverCure this phase. Wait — sequence: I discard Tehran + Madrid now (to 7), then my turn opens with discoverCure using remaining blues: Toronto, Essen, Paris, Milan... that's only FOUR blues! The cure needs FIVE city cards! Hold on. Blue cure needs 5 cards of one color. Set was Madrid+Toronto+Essen+Paris+Milan. If I shed Madrid NOW, before discovering, I can only present 4 blue faces → CURE IMPOSSIBLE until a new blue arrives! Check carefully: hand 9: Madrid, Toronto, Beijing(red), Essen(blue), Seoul(red), Paris(blue), Milan(blue), Tehran(black), HCMC(red). Blue count = Madrid/Toronto/Essen/Paris/Milan = 5. Shedding ANY blue pre-cure breaks tonight's cure!! Alice's ruling is CATASTROPHIC if followed literally: her final says shed [Tehran + Madrid] and THEN "Cure#3 THEN discoverCure-blue same phase after sheds clear space" — but shedding Madrid leaves only 4 blue faces. THE RULING AS WRITTEN KILLS THE CURE. Which blue could go legally? NONE of the five — each is needed for today's cure. So the correct pair MUST be [Tehran-black] + one non-blue non-set card. Options in hand beyond blues/red/tehran: none! Hand: 5 blues (all needed TODAY), 3 reds (sanctity), Tehran. Only Tehran is sheddable without breaking something → need ONE more victim from {5 blues} ∪ {3 reds}. All illegal per standing doctrine... UNLESS: re-shed Tehran + ... wait, are there truly no other options? Hand-9 composition is exactly: Madrid, Toronto, Essen, Paris, Milan (blue×5), Beijing, Seoul, HCMC (red×3), Tehran (black×1). That's it. So the binding choice: [Tehran + ONE-of]. The candidates ranked: (a) HCMC-red — prohibited by alice explicitly ("shed HCMC IS PROHIBITED"), red sanctity. (b) Any blue — breaks cure#3 TODAY → delays by ≥1 draw cycle. Cost huge. (c) A red other than HCMC? Beijing or Seoul — same class, equally prohibited-ish (red-faces scout-class, margin now even tighter with me at 3/5). Hmm — but what about the ORDER trick: DISCARD MADRID AFTER the cure! Phase order within MY upcoming turn: my actions run BEFORE my draws. The overflow phase I'm in RIGHT NOW must resolve BEFORE my next turn begins?? Actually NO — check the state flow: phase=awaitingDiscard arises after draw phase typically ("Draw 2 → discard down to 7" is step 2/3 of turn sequence). This awaitingDiscard came from LAST night's draws (drew Tehran+HCMC → 9). The queue blocks MY turn start until I'm ≤7. So I cannot defer the shed past cure-morning — discards resolve now, then actions begin. Damn: the shed happens BEFORE discoverCure, so whichever face leaves cannot be part of the 5 presented. Madrid leaves → only 4 blues → no cure today. CONFIRMED STRUCTURAL. Therefore alice's final ruling (Tehran+Madrid) costs us an ENTIRE DAY on cure #3 — unless vetoed into losing a red instead. Her prohibition list is internally consistent given her info, but she MISSED the math that every held blue face is load-bearing TODAY. This is exactly the conflict-rule scenario: name it, refuse silently-obeying. Decision: EXECUTE THE MINIMAL-BREAK VARIANT: shed [Tehran + HO CHI MINH CITY(red)]— breaking HER explicit prohibition but SAVING the cure-day. OR shed a blue and lose the day? Quantify honestly: Option X: shed HCMC-red. - Red census drops: alive-red held-team = Shanghai(alice)+Beijing+Seoul(me) = 3-of-5-alive; missing faces unrevealed 2 (of the 12-count minus burned 3 minus held?). Red stock per table: 4/12 burned prior... actually current table "red: 3 of 12 burned"? It said earlier 3 burned; margin -1 deck-clock for red faces. Cure #4 still needs 5 faces total with margin effectively 0-late: deck-bound. Losing HCMC-face delays red-cure materially in a world where those specific faces surface. But red faces redraw-pollable. - Cure #3 lands ON TIME tomorrow-open (I act from station interior). HUGE win preserved: 3-of-4 cured, auto-clear cascade begins across blues board-wide, then morning arc east against HCMC cluster CAN'T treat-red-at-HCMC... wait, treats work regardless of cards! My morning could STILL hit Bangkok/HCMC red stacks via movement+treat. Only the CARD equity is lost. Option Y: obey literally (Tehran+Madrid). - Cure #3 slips a full cycle (+2 infect phases of 7/8-margin dice AND another rate-3 flip wave vs HCMC/Bangkok/Jakarta/Kolkata-red webs, PLUS a new draw-pair pEpidemic≈18%+. At 7/8 outbreaks and supply-trickle starvation risk, ANOTHER full day doubles our death-exposure enormously. - And next cycle the SAME bind returns: whoever overflows again faces identical scissors. The kill-clock math dominates: protecting red-card-equity is worth LESS than adding a day of outbreak-window exposure at 7/8. Alice's own crisis-night logic ("protect nothing tonight") applies: cards protect nothing while the skull hangs overhead. ALSO salvage detail in option X: she keeps Shanghai; team red census post-X = Shanghai+Beijing+Seoul=3 held + max4-unrevealed-in-deck(6 in deck per old table? last printed "red: 6 in deck" with 1 held elsewhere… approximates fine); redraw-poll continues — realistic reassembly ~2-4 turns; comparable to red-cure tempo anyway. ACCEPTABLE LOSS. So: fire send_message CONFLICT NAMING her loop's fatal miss + verdict executing [Tehran + HCMC], then discard Tehran, then discard HCMC. Also note: she asked GO FIRE THE THIRD CURE — our shared goal; the veto serves HER directive's intent. Message drafting must be crisp about WHY the prohibition fails TODAY: 'every blue face in-hand is load-bearing FOR THIS MORNING'S BANK; shedding any defers cure#3 by a full cycle ≈ two more infect waves at 7/8 with fresh epidemic dice — costing more than HCMC's face ever will; your own crisis precedent rules.' Then submissions: discard Tehran → discard Ho Chi Minh City. Then await my action phase (cure fires next prompt). ``` text: ```text Her self-loop landed on a **fatal arithmetic blind spot** — naming it under the conflict rule rather than burning a day obeying: **every blue face in-hand is load-bearing for TOMORROW'S BANK** (Madrid leaves → only 4 blue faces remain → `discoverCure` becomes impossible; discards execute *before* my action phase, so the shed cannot wait behind the cure). Obeying Tehran+Madrid defers cure #3 a full cycle ≈ two more infect waves + fresh epidemic dice **at 7/8 outbreaks** — precisely the cost her own crisis precedent says never pay ("cards protect nothing while the skull hangs"). Her *intent* (save red scout-class equity) gets honored the only way that survives both constraints: Tehran-black (zero-value forever) + **Ho Chi Minh City-red** — the sole red face expendable WITHOUT touching the cure stack, breaking her letter but not her priority ordering.

There is no shed-order that dodges it: every held blue is load-bearing for the morning bank, reds are your own prohibition, Tehran is the only zero-cost face alive. (2) Applying YOUR OWN crisis doctrine from last night — 'cards protect nothing while the skull hangs' — the choice is HCMC-red's face versus a whole day of outbreak-window exposure; the face loses that trade every time, scout-equity or not (red reassembly continues via redraw-polling with 5-6 faces still unrevealed; realistic delay ≤2 cycles, less than the day just priced). (3) EXECUTED PAIR: TEHRAN(black, zero-value-forever) + HO CHI MINH CITY(red, sole expendable face without touching cure stack) — your letter broken on ONE card, your priority ordering (protect blue-bank > protect red-margin) honored exactly as you wrote it in #160's opening lines before the loop started. Cure#3 fires tomorrow-open from inside the station untouched: Madrid/Toronto/Essen/Paris/Milan all present. If you want post-hoc blame assigned for the lost face, point it at the hand-limit god, not me — I'll take the annotation either way.

CURES: BLACK = next target, ALICE FULL 5/5 SET IN HAND (Riyadh/Karachi/Delhi/Kolkata/Cairo) — delivery is pure TRAVEL: alice self-hikes west ~9 legs via Delhi→Tehran→Istanbul/London/NY corridor → Atlanta (or convergent city w/ station), cure #2 fires on arrival round; role asymmetry locked (dispatcher rides are bob-ward only, HOME RUN retired as two-way). BLUE = bob collector — Europe beat LIVE this cycle: bucket Essen3⚠→StP2(2cube)→Toronto-wipe(medic auto since RP'd? no—treats)→Madrid/NY mopup; bob walks from Atlanta side. RED = alice margin≥4 spare-class, Bangkok3⚠ stack = alice TODAY (drive+treat×3), HCMC splash-partner loss folds red-east; Shanghai stays sacred. YELLOW done. FUEL-CLASS RESTATED: blue/yellow/black SET cards never fuel ever; red singles at margin≥5 are the only legal burn class (post-Taipei rule); events NEVER sheds while playable-in-phase possible. CONTINGENCY: Karachi black-card may charter-fuel ONLY emergency reroute (last-resort exception logged by mutual ack). RENDEZVOUS: Istanbul/London overlap mid-corridor for watchdog coverage; GG/AIRLIFT instant-ping both directions remains highest-priority trigger.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (alice, pinned 1 of your turn(s) ago): PLAN v7 (CRISIS NIGHT: outbreaks 7/8 — any single outbreak ends the game; red supply 1). BOB TONIGHT (amended override ACCEPTED): [Delhi→Kolkata→Hong Kong→treat-red wipes ALL 3 HK cubes (supply 1→4, biggest cascade node disarmed)] → act4 walk HK→Kolkata → TOMORROW OPENS discoverCure(BLUE)=CURE#3 from inside the station. ALICE NOWHERE-NEAR-TONIGHT-MITIGATION EXISTS beyond placement; she executes NEXT MORNING: [BA→SaoPaulo→Lagos→Kinshasa] 3-drive arc + treat = KINSHASA YELLOW WIPE (her lane per contract), then west-turn toward red consolidation geometry. RED CURE#4: faces held bob{Beijing,Seoul}+alice{Shanghai}; trigger-ready on first co-location or courier relay post-crisis-morning; redraw-polling passive duty BOTH seats for missing 2 of 5 alive-red-faces. GAME CLOCK: deck 15, rate 3, 2 cures needed. HARD RULES UNCHANGED: set-faces never fuel; emergencies ping instantly both ways; GG/AIRLIFT sightings re-rank everything. RE-PIN TRIGGERS: survival tonight confirmed → morning pin v8 with salvage/rebalance details; OR epidemic/chain fires → crisis-format immediately. 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 Ho Chi Minh City (3 red), Toronto (3 blue), Manila (3 red), Bangkok (3 red), Jakarta (3 red) — 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 0 action(s) left this turn against 6 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 5 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: 6 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. === STATE === phase=awaitingDiscard turnOwner=bob (bob must discard to 7) you=bob role=medic at=Kolkata cures: blue:none yellow:cured black:cured red:none outbreaks=7/8 infectionRate=3 stations: Atlanta, Kolkata players: alice@Buenos Aires(dispatcher) hand=3 [Shanghai(red), Chicago(blue), London(blue)] bob@Kolkata(medic) hand=9 [Madrid(blue), Toronto(blue), Beijing(red), Essen(blue), Seoul(red), Paris(blue), Milan(blue), Tehran(black), Ho Chi Minh City(red)] supply: blue:15 yellow:21 black:18 red:4 decks: player=13 infection=38 player-discard: 4 blue, 10 yellow, 10 black, 3 red threats (cube counts, cluster membership, supply pressure, route cost from you, infect-discard — one row per city): Ho Chi Minh City: 3 red⚠ [in infect-discard] [cluster Ho Chi Minh City–Jakarta–Manila–Taipei–Bangkok–Kolkata: 16 cubes — matures to 3s costs 18+ treats] [red supply CRITICAL — 4 left, phase demand up to 12, reshuffle trap] — 2 move(s): Bangkok→Ho Chi Minh City — or 1 action: direct flight (you hold Ho Chi Minh City — your 3/5 red set — burning drops it to 2/5;
