# EU4 phone verification run and round-robin correction (2026-05-10)

## Request

BOSS requested broadening 5sim SMS countries to:

```text
Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom
```

and running the latest strict-gate workflow for 10 attempts.

## Intended config

```text
FIVE_SIM_COUNTRY_ORDER=italy,poland,spain,england
PHONE_VERIFICATION_REPLACEMENT_LIMIT=10
```

Country mappings:

| 5sim country | OpenAI ISO | Visible selector | Prefix |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `italy` | `IT` | `意大利 (+39)` | `39` |
| `poland` | `PL` | `波兰 (+48)` | `48` |
| `spain` | `ES` | `西班牙 (+34)` | `34` |
| `england` | `GB` | `英国 (+44)` | `44` |

## Actual first EU4 run outcome

Runner:

```text
/tmp/phone_verify_eu4_total10_latest.py
```

Log:

```text
/tmp/phone_verify_eu4_total10_latest.log
```

Result:

```json
{"phase":"phone_failed_all","total_attempts":10,"order":["italy","poland","spain","england"]}
```

Important correction: although the order included four countries, the script loop ran all 10 attempts against the first country (`italy`) because it nested `for country in ORDER` outside `for attempt in LIMIT` and stopped after the global total reached 10. It did not test Poland, Spain, or UK in that run.

## Italy findings

All bought orders were canceled. Examples:

- `1006744560`
- `1006745080`
- `1006745501`
- `1006746015`
- `1006746588`
- `1006747049`
- `1006747555`
- `1006748145`

Observed pattern:

1. Strict country gate passed before buying:
   - `意大利 (+39)`
   - `selectValue=IT`
2. OpenAI accepted or transitioned into phone verification/waiting state.
3. 5sim status stayed `RECEIVED` with `sms_count=0`.
4. Resend probe detected WhatsApp delivery, e.g.:
   ```text
   重新发送 WhatsApp 消息
   ```
5. Under BOSS's SMS-only policy, runner canceled the SMS activation instead of clicking WhatsApp resend.

Conclusion for Italy:

```text
Italy +39 did not produce SMS via 5sim/openai in this run; OpenAI repeatedly exposed WhatsApp resend, so SMS-only automation canceled the activations.
```

## Runner bug fixed

A corrected round-robin runner was written:

```text
/tmp/phone_verify_eu4_roundrobin10_latest.py
```

The corrected runner attempts countries in round-robin order:

```text
attempt 1: italy
attempt 2: poland
attempt 3: spain
attempt 4: england
attempt 5: italy
...
```

This prevents a global limit from being exhausted by the first country only.

## Workflow rule added

When BOSS says "expand countries A/B/C/D and run N attempts", interpret `N` as global attempts unless BOSS explicitly says "per country". Use a round-robin schedule so each configured country is actually tested before repeating the first one.

## Still mandatory

- Strict country/area-code gate before buying and before submit.
- No non-US number on `美国 (+1)`.
- Probe resend channel before clicking.
- If resend channel is WhatsApp and BOSS policy is SMS-only, cancel activation and rotate/stop.
- Cancel any active activation on interruption or flow failure.
