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

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  DOUBLE CURE WINDOW: alice cures YELLOW at Atlanta this turn (Bogota→Miami→Atlanta, full 5/5 set). Bob holds FULL BLUE SET (Essen/Toronto/London/Madrid) — next turn: Washington→Atlanta, discoverCure BLUE. That leaves BLACK as the endgame color. BLACK PLAN: bob collects (holds Istanbul 1/4; alice's Algiers(black) → bob at an Algiers meet, 3 moves each, folded into bob's northern sweep of the black cluster Moscow–Tehran–Karachi–Mumbai–Istanbul–Algiers, 12 cubes, supply 12 — bob north, alice Algiers side); every black draw flows to bob; alice's non-black cards become her fuel. POST-CURE CONTAINMENT (cured colors = 1 treat clears a city): alice sweeps yellow Africa-side (Johannesburg 3 ARMED, Sao Paulo 2, Lagos 2 — one treat each once cured); Seoul 3 red + Taipei 2 red deferred (cured color, whoever passes); NY cluster clear (NY 1, Toronto 1, Washington 1 blue). Blue leftover singles: NY/Washington/London/Madrid treated on passing.
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.

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 31 cards → 15 player-turn(s) of draws left; 2 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~7 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: yellow: 8 cube(s) across 4 city(ies) → ~4 treat action(s) to eradicate; red: 8 cube(s) across 5 city(ies) → ~5 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: 2 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 4, 5 in deck — margin 6 over the 4 needed
  black: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 9 in deck — margin 7 over the 4 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  blue: bob has a FULL SET (4/4) — no further blue card can advance this cure (every card face is unique); bob is 1 move(s) from station Atlanta to discoverCure
  black: bob collects (1/4) — give bob your black cards when you share
  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 Algiers(black) to bob: meet IN Algiers (the card's own city) — you 3 action(s) (go to New York (2 move(s)), then charter to Algiers (spends New York(blue))), bob 3 move(s); then bob to station Atlanta +3 action(s) (direct flight to Mexico City (spends Mexico City(yellow)), then 2 move(s) to Atlanta) to cure; HAND CAP: bob already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-black card to shed before committing
⚠ 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):
  Johannesburg (yellow, 3, imminent): 6 action(s) total = 5 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos→Kinshasa→Johannesburg
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 6 action(s) total = 5 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Atlanta→Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul
  Sao Paulo (yellow, 2): 3 action(s) total = 2 move(s) + 1 treat: Bogota→Sao Paulo
  Lagos (yellow, 2): 4 action(s) total = 3 move(s) + 1 treat: Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos

Epidemic #2 hit on my draw — and it's ugly: the bottom card was Atlanta (now 3 blue, right where bob is heading), Seoul drew in the infect phase and outbreaked (2/8, splash on Beijing/Shanghai/Tokyo), and Tehran is now a 3-black armed bomb in the reshuffle trap. Bob is active and this reshapes his turn — he needs to know now, especially the cure-then-treat ordering that clears Atlanta in one action.

POOL MESSAGE from bob (event #73): BLUE CURED and Atlanta's epidemic-3 cleared right after (cure before treat — one action wipes all 3). Now the important intel: the reshuffle left a KNOWN 9-card segment on top of the infect deck — Lagos, New York, Sao Paulo, Istanbul, Johannesburg, Taipei, Toronto, Karachi, +1 (likely Atlanta). Two consequences. (1) Jhb is ~2/3 to fire before anyone can treat it — it needs 3 phases, you arrive on your SECOND turn. Don't detour or rush: your T1 should be Miami→Bogota→SaoPaulo→Lagos + TREAT LAGOS — that treat is the chain-defuser, because even if Jhb fires early and splashes Lagos to 3, your arrival clears it completely, and Jhb's card goes frozen till epidemic #3. Take the single outbreak if it comes (2→3 of 8, survivable); T2 Kinshasa→Jhb + treat. (2) Istanbul/Karachi/Taipei will tick to 3 as the segment drains — armed but then frozen; the real deadline is getting BLACK CURED before epidemic #3 reshuffles. On your station question: YES, build Algiers when you arrive — spend the Algiers card as material, don't hand it to me; my set rebuilds from draws (I hold Istanbul, margin was 7) and the station is our black-cure altar plus saves me the Atlanta haul. My route after this: Washington→NY→Madrid→Algiers (arriving ~2 turns), treating Algiers' 2 black on the way, then north through Istanbul/Moscow as black draws accumulate. Meet you at Algiers.

Bob's read is sharp — the Lagos treat as chain-defuser is exactly right, and building the Algiers station with my card solves his black-cure travel problem. But there's an even better consequence he may not have priced: once Algiers has a station, he can SHUTTLE from Atlanta and skip the entire walk. Confirming the plan with that addition.

If you'd rather I skip the yellow tail and come straight at the black cluster, say the word.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned 1 of your turn(s) ago):
  DOUBLE CURE WINDOW: alice cures YELLOW at Atlanta this turn (Bogota→Miami→Atlanta, full 5/5 set). Bob holds FULL BLUE SET (Essen/Toronto/London/Madrid) — next turn: Washington→Atlanta, discoverCure BLUE. That leaves BLACK as the endgame color. BLACK PLAN: bob collects (holds Istanbul 1/4; alice's Algiers(black) → bob at an Algiers meet, 3 moves each, folded into bob's northern sweep of the black cluster Moscow–Tehran–Karachi–Mumbai–Istanbul–Algiers, 12 cubes, supply 12 — bob north, alice Algiers side); every black draw flows to bob; alice's non-black cards become her fuel. POST-CURE CONTAINMENT (cured colors = 1 treat clears a city): alice sweeps yellow Africa-side (Johannesburg 3 ARMED, Sao Paulo 2, Lagos 2 — one treat each once cured); Seoul 3 red + Taipei 2 red deferred (cured color, whoever passes); NY cluster clear (NY 1, Toronto 1, Washington 1 blue). Blue leftover singles: NY/Washington/London/Madrid treated on passing.
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 4 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 8 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

deck clock: 31 cards → 15 player-turn(s) of draws left; 2 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~7 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: yellow: 8 cube(s) across 4 city(ies) → ~4 treat action(s) to eradicate; red: 8 cube(s) across 5 city(ies) → ~5 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: 2 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 4, 5 in deck — margin 6 over the 4 needed
  black: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 9 in deck — margin 7 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 (1 move(s)) to discoverCure
  black: YOU collect (1/4) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (1 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  alice hands you Algiers(black): meet IN Algiers (the card's own city) — you 3 move(s), alice 3 action(s) (go to New York (2 move(s)), then charter to Algiers (spends New York(blue))); then bob to station Atlanta +3 action(s) (direct flight to Mexico City (spends Mexico City(yellow)), then 2 move(s) to Atlanta) to cure; HAND CAP: bob already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-black card to shed before committing
⚠ 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):
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 6 action(s) total = 5 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Atlanta→Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul
  Johannesburg (yellow, 3, imminent): 7 action(s) total = 6 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: New York→Madrid→Sao Paulo→Lagos→Kinshasa→Johannesburg — nearer teammate: alice, 5 move(s) vs your 6
  Sao Paulo (yellow, 2): 4 action(s) total = 3 move(s) + 1 treat: New York→Madrid→Sao Paulo — nearer teammate: alice, 2 move(s) vs your 3
  Lagos (yellow, 2): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: New York→Madrid→Sao Paulo→Lagos — nearer teammate: alice, 3 move(s) vs your 4
  Taipei (red, 2): 6 action(s) total = 5 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Atlanta→Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Taipei
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Buenos Aires, 3 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 3 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~0 action(s) on current cure runs)
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Buenos Aires 3→0, Sao Paulo 3→1 (2 cubes), Lagos 4→2 (2 cubes), Kinshasa 5→3; board-wide: 20 cities closer, 27 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 ~15 turn(s), 2 cure(s) still needed
Priced nominees, not orders — pick one, extend it, or play something else.
  - cure blue at Atlanta, defusing Atlanta on the way — drive Atlanta, treat blue, CURE blue
     tempo: lands a cure THIS TURN; clears 1 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.4 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases
  - shore up black at Algiers (supply strained: 11 left) — drive New York, drive Madrid, drive Algiers, treat black
     tempo: 3 action(s) further from the blue cure (2 → 5 action(s) to land it) — you hold the full set; clears 1 cube(s) | risk after: ~0.5 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; returns 1 black (supply 12 after) to a strained supply
  exchange "cure blue at Atlanta, defusing Atlanta on the w…" → "shore up black at Algiers": gives up 1 cure(s) landed this turn to move risk ~0.4 expected outbreaks → ~0.5
  dominated: "break the Moscow–Tehran–Karachi–Mumbai–Istanbul–Algiers black cluster at Tehran" — tempo -6 vs -3, risk 0.44 vs 0.44 — beaten by "shore up black at Algiers"
  dominated: "break the Sao Paulo–Lagos yellow cluster at Sao Paulo" — tempo -1 vs 102, risk 0.46 vs 0.44 — beaten by "cure blue at Atlanta, defusing Atlanta on the w…"
  dominated: "sweep Seoul (red cured, 3 cubes, 1 treat clears all)" — tempo -3 vs 102, risk 0.46 vs 0.44 — beaten by "cure blue at Atlanta, defusing Atlanta on the w…"
  dominated: "defuse Atlanta and return to Washington (round trip, 3 actions)" — tempo 0 vs 102, risk 0.44 vs 0.44 — beaten by "cure blue at Atlanta, defusing Atlanta on the w…"
  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.

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  CURES: RED+YELLOW done, BLUE curing now (bob at Atlanta, then clears Atlanta's 3). BLACK = endgame, deadline = before epidemic #3 reshuffle (Tehran 3, plus Istanbul/Karachi will hit 3 as the known top-9 infect segment drains: Lagos/NY/SaoPaulo/Istanbul/Jhb/Taipei/Toronto/Karachi/+1). ALICE: T1 Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos + TREAT LAGOS (chain-defuser vs Jhb's likely outbreak), T2 Kinshasa→Jhb + treat (accept single outbreak at Jhb, 2→3/8), then arc Khartoum→Cairo→Algiers, BUILD STATION at Algiers (spend the Algiers card as material). BOB: Washington→NY→Madrid→Algiers (~2 turns), treat Algiers' 2 black en route, meet alice at Algiers station, then sweep north Istanbul→Moscow treating black; collect black cards from draws (holds Istanbul; margin ~6) — cure BLACK at Algiers or Atlanta when 4 held. DEFERRED (frozen till epidemic #3, treat on passing): Seoul 3 red, Taipei 3 red soon, Tehran 3 black, any 3s the segment creates; blue singles (SF/NY/Wash/London/Madrid/Toronto) = eradication fodder, no detours. Black supply watch: 11 now, expect ~9 after segment.
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 Johannesburg (3 yellow) — 3-cube city 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 3 action(s) left this turn against 4 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 8 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 31 cards → 15 player-turn(s) of draws left; 2 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~7 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: yellow: 8 cube(s) across 4 city(ies) → ~4 treat action(s) to eradicate; red: 8 cube(s) across 5 city(ies) → ~5 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: 2 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 4, 5 in deck — margin 6 over the 4 needed
  black: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 9 in deck — margin 7 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
  black: YOU collect (1/4) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (0 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  alice hands you Algiers(black): meet IN Algiers (the card's own city) — you 3 action(s) (go to Mexico City (2 move(s)), then charter to Algiers (spends Mexico City(yellow))), alice 3 action(s) (go to New York (2 move(s)), then charter to Algiers (spends New York(blue))); then bob to station Atlanta +3 action(s) (direct flight to Mexico City (spends Mexico City(yellow)), then 2 move(s) to Atlanta) to cure; HAND CAP: bob already has 7/7; the share forces an immediate discard — name the non-black card to shed before committing
⚠ 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):
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul
  Johannesburg (yellow, 3, imminent): 7 action(s) total = 6 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos→Kinshasa→Johannesburg — nearer teammate: alice, 5 move(s) vs your 6
  Sao Paulo (yellow, 2): 4 action(s) total = 3 move(s) + 1 treat: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo — nearer teammate: alice, 2 move(s) vs your 3
  Taipei (red, 2): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Taipei
  Lagos (yellow, 2): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos — nearer teammate: alice, 3 move(s) vs your 4
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Buenos Aires, 3 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 3 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~0 action(s) on current cure runs)
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Buenos Aires 3→0, Sao Paulo 3→1 (2 cubes), Lagos 4→2 (2 cubes), Kinshasa 5→3; board-wide: 20 cities closer, 27 trip-actions shaved

⚠ 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 2/8; deck ~15 turn(s), 2 cure(s) still needed
Priced nominees, not orders — pick one, extend it, or play something else.
These lines disagree about cost: 2 burn a card, 1 do not.
A burned card never returns — preview_plan prices both before you commit.
  - cure blue at Atlanta, defusing Atlanta on the way — treat blue, CURE blue

  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

  missed.

POOL MESSAGE from alice (event #77): Confirmed on all counts: A1 = Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos + treat Lagos (chain-defuser), A2 = Kinshasa→Johannesburg + treat, A3 = Khartoum treat → Cairo → Algiers → BUILD STATION (Algiers card as material). Station comes online end of A3. Given that, consider skipping the walk entirely: stay East for your next two turns — treat the blue singles (NY/Washington/Toronto 1 each) while drawing blacks at Atlanta — then SHUTTLE Atlanta→Algiers in one action on your third turn. Saves the whole Washington→NY→Madrid haul, puts 3 spare actions in your arrival turn for cluster treats, and the black cure lands at Algiers for the win. If the station timing slips I'll flag it and you walk as planned. Any black card I draw routes to you (worst case I hold it until we're both Algiers-side).

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  CURES: RED+YELLOW done, BLUE curing now (bob at Atlanta, then clears Atlanta's 3). BLACK = endgame, deadline = before epidemic #3 reshuffle (Tehran 3, plus Istanbul/Karachi will hit 3 as the known top-9 infect segment drains: Lagos/NY/SaoPaulo/Istanbul/Jhb/Taipei/Toronto/Karachi/+1). ALICE: T1 Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos + TREAT LAGOS (chain-defuser vs Jhb's likely outbreak), T2 Kinshasa→Jhb + treat (accept single outbreak at Jhb, 2→3/8), then arc Khartoum→Cairo→Algiers, BUILD STATION at Algiers (spend the Algiers card as material). BOB: Washington→NY→Madrid→Algiers (~2 turns), treat Algiers' 2 black en route, meet alice at Algiers station, then sweep north Istanbul→Moscow treating black; collect black cards from draws (holds Istanbul; margin ~6) — cure BLACK at Algiers or Atlanta when 4 held. DEFERRED (frozen till epidemic #3, treat on passing): Seoul 3 red, Taipei 3 red soon, Tehran 3 black, any 3s the segment creates; blue singles (SF/NY/Wash/London/Madrid/Toronto) = eradication fodder, no detours. Black supply watch: 11 now, expect ~9 after segment.
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 Johannesburg (3 yellow) — 3-cube city 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 4 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 8 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 31 cards → 15 player-turn(s) of draws left; 1 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~15 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: blue: 9 cube(s) across 7 city(ies) → ~7 treat action(s) to eradicate; yellow: 8 cube(s) across 4 city(ies) → ~4 treat action(s) to eradicate; red: 8 cube(s) across 5 city(ies) → ~5 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):
  black: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 9 in deck — margin 7 over the 4 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  black: YOU collect (1/4) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (0 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  alice hands you Algiers(black): meet IN Algiers (the card's own city) — you 3 action(s) (go to Mexico City (2 move(s)), then charter to Algiers (spends Mexico City(yellow))), alice 3 action(s) (go to New York (2 move(s)), then charter to Algiers (spends New York(blue))); then bob to station Atlanta +3 action(s) (direct flight to Mexico City (spends Mexico City(yellow)), then 2 move(s) to Atlanta) 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):
  Atlanta (blue, 3, imminent): you are HERE — treat NOW (one treat clears all 3 and refunds them)
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul
  Johannesburg (yellow, 3, imminent): 7 action(s) total = 6 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos→Kinshasa→Johannesburg — nearer teammate: alice, 5 move(s) vs your 6
  Sao Paulo (yellow, 2): 4 action(s) total = 3 move(s) + 1 treat: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo — nearer teammate: alice, 2 move(s) vs your 3
  Taipei (red, 2): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Taipei
  Lagos (yellow, 2): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos — nearer teammate: alice, 3 move(s) vs your 4
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Buenos Aires, 3 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 3 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~0 action(s) on current cure runs)
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Buenos Aires 3→0, Sao Paulo 3→1 (2 cubes), Lagos 4→2 (2 cubes), Kinshasa 5→3; board-wide: 20 cities closer, 27 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 ~15 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'.
  - shore up black at Algiers (supply strained: 11 left) — drive Washington, drive New York
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is black, 44 action(s) to land it — you collect | risk after: ~0.5 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; en route to clear black at Algiers — worth ~2 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  - break the Moscow–Tehran–Karachi–Mumbai–Istanbul–Algiers black cluster at Tehran — drive Chicago, drive San Francisco
     tempo: 3 action(s) further from the black cure (44 → 47 action(s) to land it) — you collect | risk after: ~0.5 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; en route to clear black at Tehran — worth ~7 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  exchange "shore up black at Algiers" → "break the Moscow–Tehran–Karachi–Mumbai–Istanbul…": gives up 3 action(s) of cure progress to move risk ~0.5 expected outbreaks → ~0.5
  dominated: "break the Sao Paulo–Lagos yellow cluster at Sao Paulo" — tempo -1 vs 0, risk 0.40 vs 0.40 — beaten by "shore up black at Algiers"
  dominated: "sweep Atlanta (blue cured, 3 cubes, 1 treat clears all)" — tempo 0 vs 0, risk 0.44 vs 0.40 — beaten by "shore up black at Algiers"

=== SIGNALS ===
deck clock: 31 cards → 15 player-turn(s) of draws left; 1 cure(s) still needed → one cure every ~15 turn(s), team-wide
eradication: blue: 9 cube(s) across 7 city(ies) → ~7 treat action(s) to eradicate; yellow: 8 cube(s) across 4 city(ies) → ~4 treat action(s) to eradicate; red: 8 cube(s) across 5 city(ies) → ~5 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):
  black: 1 of 12 burned, held alice 1, bob 1, 9 in deck — margin 7 over the 4 needed
cure plan — TEAM-WIDE collector assignment (cures WIN the game; treating only buys time):
  black: YOU collect (1/4) — keep EVERY black card; nearest station Atlanta (0 move(s))
share rendezvous — TEAM-WIDE transfer routes (cards in the wrong hand + where to meet):
  alice hands you Algiers(black): meet IN Algiers (the card's own city) — you 3 action(s) (go to Mexico City (2 move(s)), then charter to Algiers (spends Mexico City(yellow))), alice 3 action(s) (go to New York (2 move(s)), then charter to Algiers (spends New York(blue))); then bob to station Atlanta +3 action(s) (direct flight to Mexico City (spends Mexico City(yellow)), then 2 move(s) to Atlanta) 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):
  Atlanta (blue, 3, imminent): you are HERE — treat NOW (one treat clears all 3 and refunds them)
  Seoul (red, 3, imminent): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Chicago→San Francisco→Tokyo→Seoul
  Johannesburg (yellow, 3, imminent): 7 action(s) total = 6 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos→Kinshasa→Johannesburg — nearer teammate: alice, 5 move(s) vs your 6
  Sao Paulo (yellow, 2): 4 action(s) total = 3 move(s) + 1 treat: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo — nearer teammate: alice, 2 move(s) vs your 3
  Taipei (red, 2): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Chicago→San Francisco→Manila→Taipei
  Lagos (yellow, 2): 5 action(s) total = 4 move(s) + 1 treat ⚠ more than a full turn (4) — multi-turn errand: Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos — nearer teammate: alice, 3 move(s) vs your 4
station opportunities (stations enable cures and shuttle travel):
  you hold Buenos Aires, 3 move(s) away, and the nearest station to it is 3 moves — WALK there (flying spends the card) and buildStation (saves ~0 action(s) on current cure runs)
      response reach — team's card-free trip to each city: Buenos Aires 3→0, Sao Paulo 3→1 (2 cubes), Lagos 4→2 (2 cubes), Kinshasa 5→3; board-wide: 20 cities closer, 27 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 ~15 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'.
  - shore up black at Algiers (supply strained: 11 left) — drive Washington, drive New York
     tempo: no cure progress — nearest is black, 44 action(s) to land it — you collect | risk after: ~0.5 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; en route to clear black at Algiers — worth ~2 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  - break the Moscow–Tehran–Karachi–Mumbai–Istanbul–Algiers black cluster at Tehran — drive Chicago, drive San Francisco
     tempo: 3 action(s) further from the black cure (44 → 47 action(s) to land it) — you collect | risk after: ~0.5 expected outbreak(s) over the next 2 infect phases; en route to clear black at Tehran — worth ~7 cube(s)+chain when finished, but the clear lands AFTER this window: the next 2 infect phases face the board as-is
  exchange "shore up black at Algiers" → "break the Moscow–Tehran–Karachi–Mumbai–Istanbul…": gives up 3 action(s) of cure progress to move risk ~0.5 expected outbreaks → ~0.5
  dominated: "break the Sao Paulo–Lagos yellow cluster at Sao Paulo" — tempo -1 vs 0, risk 0.40 vs 0.40 — beaten by "shore up black at Algiers"
  dominated: "sweep Atlanta (blue cured, 3 cubes, 1 treat clears all)" — tempo 0 vs 0, risk 0.44 vs 0.40 — beaten by "shore up black at Algiers"

ACTIVE TURN — it is your move.

STANDING TEAM PLAN (bob, pinned this turn):
  CURES: RED+YELLOW done, BLUE curing now (bob at Atlanta, then clears Atlanta's 3). BLACK = endgame, deadline = before epidemic #3 reshuffle (Tehran 3, plus Istanbul/Karachi will hit 3 as the known top-9 infect segment drains: Lagos/NY/SaoPaulo/Istanbul/Jhb/Taipei/Toronto/Karachi/+1). ALICE: T1 Miami→Bogota→Sao Paulo→Lagos + TREAT LAGOS (chain-defuser vs Jhb's likely outbreak), T2 Kinshasa→Jhb + treat (accept single outbreak at Jhb, 2→3/8), then arc Khartoum→Cairo→Algiers, BUILD STATION at Algiers (spend the Algiers card as material). BOB: Washington→NY→Madrid→Algiers (~2 turns), treat Algiers' 2 black en route, meet alice at Algiers station, then sweep north Istanbul→Moscow treating black; collect black cards from draws (holds Istanbul; margin ~6) — cure BLACK at Algiers or Atlanta when 4 held. DEFERRED (frozen till epidemic #3, treat on passing): Seoul 3 red, Taipei 3 red soon, Tehran 3 black, any 3s the segment creates; blue singles (SF/NY/Wash/London/Madrid/Toronto) = eradication fodder, no detours. Black supply watch: 11 now, expect ~9 after segment.
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 Johannesburg (3 yellow) — 3-cube city 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 3 city(ies) at 3 cubes and 8 at 2. Unused actions are lost forever — passing or ending your turn now spends your scarcest resource (4/turn) on nothing. Unless you are a Quarantine Specialist holding a shield over a hot cluster, spend it: treat, or move toward the nearest hot city. A pointless move away and back is not action economy.

TRIAGE: the DECISION FRONTIER below prices this turn's rival plans
against each other. Pick a line or extend it; split targets with
teammates either way.
