There is 2 empty piles. All the others have minimum of 10 cards. I've made only one buy and won on three-pile. No Haggler/Border Village on the board.
4-player game: I played Highway and bought Messenger to gain Ill Gotten Gains.

Another puzzle:
In the previous buy phase, there were 3 empty piles. But the game didn't end. Why?
4-player game, no Villa.

Some of the empty piles weren't supply piles.

How? What did I trash?

Oh, I should have written "Supply". Your answer is also acceptable.

Encampments went back at clean-up.
I forgot Encampments. Right, this is an answer, too.

Not sure if this works, but you bought the last card in a pile, temporarily emptying it, then revealed Trader to gain a Silver instead, so you put it back.

What I prepared. Great!
Yes, your turn ends AFTER the Clean-up phase, so I can say "Hey, the game does not end, I will exchange my Page, don't start counting your Victory cards from your discard pile before I draw 5 cards!"

Not sure if this works, but you bought the last card in a pile, temporarily emptying it, then revealed Trader to gain a Silver instead, so you put it back.
In goko, that's ok. However, Trader can be revealed BEFORE you gain a card, so that won't work in real games.

Due to an bizarre series of Masquerades, I start my turn owning exactly two cards, both of which are in my hand (so no Native Village mat, Tavern mat, Prince, etc., etc.). By the end of the turn I have gained a Province and I did not trash, return, or exchange any cards in the process. At no point in the game, this turn included, have I in any way interacted with any tokens (including placing or manipulating Adventures tokens, taking Pirate Ship tokens, placing or gaining Curses from Embargo tokens, or anything at all to do with VP/Coin/Debt tokens), though some or all of them may nonetheless be present in the Kingdom. No Attack cards from other players (e.g. Swamp Hag) had any effects on me this turn.

However, I also gained a second card besides the Province, and in fact, on account of which two cards were in my hand, I could not have fulfilled all the conditions in the last paragraph without also gaining that other card. What other card did I gain, and what two cards started the turn in my hand?

It's Procession and WM. You couldn't buy a Province without gaining $6-cost action on the board.

Alternatively, Graverobber/Expand and Catacombs.
Doesn't meet the "no trashing" requirement.

A working yet somewhat silly solution is Treasure Hunter/Hunting Grounds, assuming your opponent gained enough cards in their previous turn.

Also fun: The cards in my hand are Fortune/Gold. Alms for Villa, play Villa, Gold, Fortune for $8. This of course works with a wide variety of other combinations.

Ah, I did not think of Alms! Well done, doesn't break the no-trashing rule, only gains two cards instead of five.

(I've actually thought of two other (non-Alms-including) solutions that I also didn't intend... it occurs to me that Provinces are surprisingly cheap.)

You could modify this answer to be Disciple instead of Procession.

You played Procession-Procession-Champion on another turn.
Your hand is Begger and Masquerade.
You play Begger to put 3 Coppers in hand.
You play Masquerade to pass Copper, and receive Capital from your poor opponent.
You play all Treasures to buy Province.

Further reflection reveals that yes, Procession + Wine Merchant would work, at least under the assumption there is a $6 pile. Disciple + Wine Merchant and Disciple + Poor House are better in that regard... oh well. It looks like I should have required that no card be played more than once, and also that all three cards have the same price (to ward off another combination that hasn't been mentioned). But I am quite impressed by some of the ideas here--Dominion is complicated!

You played Procession-Procession-Champion on another turn.
Your hand is Begger and Masquerade.
You play Begger to put 3 Coppers in hand.
You play Masquerade to pass Copper, and receive Capital from your poor opponent.
You play all Treasures to buy Province.
I really like the Procession-Procession-Champion touch, but this involves gaining four cards, not two.

Capitol and Haggler?
Close, but remember: "At no point in the game, this turn included, have I in any way interacted with any tokens (including... Debt tokens)".

Sometimes there need to be easy ones:

How can one gain 6 cards and instantly draw them using only one action card (played once, no tokens)?

You could also just have two Platina in hand, then you don't need to gain anything
