@@ -406,6 +406,31 @@ from an accessor. So: send `localizedName` and expect it to show; send
 `description` and do not be surprised if nothing changes. The same `+0xba` also
 holds the unresolved kit-variant selector, so these two gaps may be one gap.
 
+### The cardtype-9 name gap is ONE gap, not three (2026-08-21)
+
+Worth stating plainly, because it was being tracked as three separate holes.
+Everything OpenFUT still refuses to project is cardtype 9, and for exactly the
+same reason:
+
+| family | subtype(s) | definition table | why withheld |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| ball | 30 | `fcc_balls` (42) | no DB name resolver |
+| league logo | 31 | `fcc_leaguelogos` (44) | no DB name resolver |
+| misc | 231, 232, 233, 236 | `fcc_misccards` (42) | no DB name resolver |
+
+The cardtype-7 families (kit 9, badge 11, stadium 10) all resolve their caption
+from the client's own tables through `FUN_180119bd0`, so the server sends only
+identity and the name takes care of itself — which is why all three now project.
+Cardtype 9 has no such resolver, so the displayed name can ONLY come from
+`localizedName` on the wire, and that single unproven step gates all three
+families at once.
+
+Closing it closes the last of the ownable taxonomy. It needs the launch-driven
+probe in "The one probe still outstanding" above — one item, one family — and
+nothing else. Ownership, `content_kind`, club/stats counting and restart
+durability are already in place for all three, so the probe is the only
+remaining work: the projection arm is a two-line change once the name is proven.
