Read-only M1 investigation results appended to connection-gate-findings.md:
- Confirmed ProtoSSLConnect is never reached on the "connecting" abort (gate is
upstream/in-process) via the existing connect/DNS hooks.
- Mapped the surface: redirector host table (gosredirector.* per env), the
redirector request config (X-BLAZE-ERRORCODE, Authorization:, <errorCode>),
and the enum-name serialization tables (ONLINE_ACCESS, ONLINE_STATUS_EVENT).
- Key answer: the online-connect path requires a Nucleus auth token (the
redirector request carries an Authorization header) => TWO gates (state +
token), not a single boolean flip.
- The exact connection-state function is behind C++ vtable indirection; pinning
it needs Ghidra. protossl-scan stays the live-process bridge.
protossl-scan: add `callers` mode (find call/jmp sites to a function) and
restrict xref/callers scans to the app modules (FIFA23.exe/anadius64.dll) for
speed.
