Rules: a rule of the game has not been respected
Detailed description
• Which part of the rules was not respected by the BGA adaptation
Actions such as develop and settle are supposed to be hidden until all players reveal their choices simultaneously. When playing with rewards, some of this hidden information is displayed (via reward progress) by hovering over the reward. This means that the last player to act has an unfair advantage in what is supposed to be a simultaneous action.• Is the rules violation visible on game replay? If yes, at which move number?
Yes, this bug occurs in every develop and settle phase when rewards are used. For example, Move #127 will be settle, and by hovering the Propaganda Edge reward, I can see whether other players have played any rebel military worlds during the current settle phase (before these settles are revealed).• What is your browser?

This bug could be fixed by making reward progress update only after each phase, not during it. Then each player could see their personal, hidden further progress within each phase via a separate counter or modifier.

The cards in hand are also updated prematurely(refresh required), which let players know if a card is played and at what cost.

Example in my game, my opponent validates the objective for 4 ressources during the phase and me to, but as I validate it only with endphase action, I don't get the bonus !
