Report history
This is not a very intuitive change. You should be able to discard the cards you don't want and just keep the card whose action you want to use and still take your action after your opponent follows or dissents.
As I also described in that bug report, this happened on a survey role at table 205990734. At move 143 I played survey and selected a planet on move 144. My opponent followed for move 145 and selected a planet for move 146. While the game log does not indicate that it happened, my opponent was erroneously offered the option to discard cards. Move 147 instead simply indicates that I had too many cards in my hand (but didn't make me do anything about it) and then moved on to my opponents turn. It should have instead come back to me to play my action phase per Logistics.
So I believe that the discarding bug is tricking the game into thinking the active player's turn is over instead of going back for the action phase.
My partners thought: Im reasonably sure it's well oiled plan causing the problem, because it did ask me if I wanted to discard after I followed, and it was even offering me using well oiled plan. And the log shows you skipping an action after your role.*
I didn't have a prompt on action (nor what to discard!), after she followed my Survey role. The game just ended after her follow.
*Although. When I checked the finished game, 30min after it finished, 'See final game situation' shows in log following statements: (reading from down)
The end of the game: AvaFoxfort wins!
Ankeszu draws 0 card(s) up to their hand limit of 5

This happened to me in game #248884799, move #132.
I used Logistics to do role first, and game log said I skipped my action ... but then the interface allowed me to take an action after the role had been resolved.
I had logistics. During my end of game bonus turn, I wanted to survey for a planet and then use terraforming to colonize it. Earlier in the game, playing my role first worked fine. But this time it skipped my action and the game immediately ended after my role.
