Disney Lorcana rules citations are retrieved by searching indexed Comprehensive Rules sections and release notes, returning concise rulings with exact rule-id references. The system requires index-first retrieval and strict citation usage, explicitly labeling uncertainty when sources are insufficient.

Converting Lorcana rulings into test-ready constraints uses a Mode B JSON handoff output containing citations, behavior constraints, test implications, and ambiguities. This structured output provides developers with exact engine assertions needed for validating mechanics.

Confirmed rulings use directly retrieved Comprehensive Rules text with strict citations, while inferred rulings are explicitly labeled as uncertainty when indexed sources are insufficient. The system enforces guardrails providing no guidance without citations and distinguishes confirmed text from inference.

Gameplay mechanic questions about card abilities like Resist are resolved by retrieving relevant Comprehensive Rules sections and related release notes. The system applies index-first retrieval from master and by-topic indexes to explain interactions such as damage put or moved by effects.

The indexed memory update protocol ensures the rules memory bank stays current after execution, maintaining retrieval accuracy for future Comprehensive Rules queries. This protocol enforces the index-first retrieval approach required for generating citation-grounded rulings.

The Lorcana rules system provides two distinct output modes: concise ruling explanations with rule citations for players, and structured JSON handoffs containing behavior constraints and test implications for developers building or validating game mechanics.
