Battle actions in resolution

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Are actions (like reactions) taken during battle resolution considered battle actions? Or do battle actions end in the combat segment? At what point do actions stop being battle actions?

Are actions (like reactions) taken during battle resolution considered battle actions? Or do battle actions end in the combat segment? At what point do actions stop being battle actions?

The only Battle actions are those with the Battle: designator in front of them.

If they have multiple designators such as Hida Kuon Experienced 5's Battle/Open:, It is only consider a Battle Action when taken when normal Battle Actions occur, in the Combat Segment, barring special card text (a la A Samurai's Fury).
