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

Request

BOSS requested broadening 5sim SMS countries to:

Italy, Poland, Spain, United Kingdom

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

Intended config

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:

/tmp/phone_verify_eu4_total10_latest.py

Log:

/tmp/phone_verify_eu4_total10_latest.log

Result:

{"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:

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

Conclusion for Italy:

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:

/tmp/phone_verify_eu4_roundrobin10_latest.py

The corrected runner attempts countries in round-robin order:

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.
