Let's Play/Read: Inform 7 manuals (Done for now)

[Zed (Zed Lopez)]

Hunh. I was about to say something about the weird behavior of a lone “in” and how it differs from “is in” based on this thread…

"does the player mean" rule doesn't seem to fire

Yes, rather counter-intuitively, if the actor is in an enterable container such as a cupboard a rule such as Instead of an actor eating the banana in the cupboard... will never fire, because the cupboard is not the actor’s location. (also to be clear it’s the location of the actor that’s checked, not the location of the banana!)

but from your report of if (true) it looks like possibly there’s a different weirdness occurring if it’s in an action’s when clause.
