Cauldron didn't trigger
I started with the cauldron in my hand and played as follows:

Play an Inn (gain 2 actions), discarding a Trail
Trail reaction triggers, play (gain 1 action)
Play a Trail (gain 1 action)
Play an Inn (gain 2 actions), discarding two Trails
Trail reaction triggers, play (gain 1 action)
Trail reaction triggers, play (gain 1 action)
Play an Inn (gain 2 actions), discarding a Trail
Trail reaction triggers, play (gain 1 action)

That's EIGHT times I gained an action that turn, yet ZERO curses were handed out from the Cauldron.

The curses are given out if the cauldron is in play and you get the 3 Actioncards.

In your log, you are in the Actionphase and have not played a cauldron yet.

It works as intended. Play it in Buyphase, buy/get 3 ActionCARDS, the others get an curse.

Oy vey. The text on the card is bad.

The difference between "Action" and "Action" is not obvious enough. It should read "The third time you gain an Action card..."

You know.
Like Grand Castle, Acolyte, Groom, Mirror, Wheelwright, Sunken Treasure, Abundance...

Kind Emperor, Farmhands, Swap, and Invasion also have this problem, but in context don't have any other interpretation.

OK, in english it is not very clear.
I play in german and there is written "Aktions Karte" which translates to "Action Card"

Yeah in German it has the extra word that fixes the clarity issue. Interesting.

OK, how about this time?

Gained: Baker, Spell Scroll, Native Village.

The cauldrons even showed a {2} before I gained the village (and the counter disappeared). I even still had a buy left and gained ANOTHER village and STILL NO CURSES WERE GIVEN.

(Also not sure how I gained +1 action from Champion as a result of gaining the spell scroll...)

Opponent had a champion in play - so no attack will work.
Also, you got a an action from the champion for playing the spell scroll

Ah ha.
Lack of UI feedback on that.

Two reasons it didn't work. "Gain" always refers to obtaining a new card. And even if +action meant gain action, your +actions would have to be played after cauldron, or they would not trigger. If you play 3 ironworks, gaining three action cards, and then play a cauldron, no curse will be given.
