RE of the FUT front-end closed the question the Actions-panel investigation left
open, and the answer retracts Q2 rather than completing it.
`tradeState` reaches exactly ONE native branch in CardsDLL — `cmp …,0x4` at
`0x18013e619`, "is it closed?" — and `inactive`(2) and `expired`(3) take the same
edge, producing bit-identical `flagA`/`flagB` (exhaustive 22-site census of
`[reg+0x88]` reads across the PE; confirmed live, both classes read glow=0
inbox=0). The value is then handed to the movie verbatim as the Flash property
`STATE`, and the action gate lives in the APT/ActionScript FUT front-end: the
trade-pile class partitions rows with `getCardsInAuction`/`isInActiveAuction`
(traces `initPile() - IN AUCTION:` / `- NOT IN AUCTION:`) and only auction rows
reach `PreCheckCardOptions` -> `handleTradeCardAction`. A non-auction row renders
and can never be acted on, which is exactly what the operator saw.
So the rows were never usable. "LIVE-CONFIRMED" established that they RENDER,
which is not the same claim, and I treated it as if it were.
The corpus said this before any of it was built —
`plan-2026-08-06-transfer-market.md:731-733`: "`inactive` decodes but no client
path treats it specially; do not emit it." The earlier note explaining that the
warning "was written about the PRESENTATION function" was motivated reasoning.
This also fires the corpus's own pre-registered falsifier E3 (:368-373).
Removed: the `inactive` projection from `GET …/tradePile` and `…/trade/status`,
`UnlistedCandidate`, `resolve_unlisted_pile`, `unlisted_record`,
`Server::resolve_trade_pile`, and the two helpers that existed only to feed them
(`MarketStore::blocking_core_items`, `Fifa17IdentityResolver::wire_for_owned_id`).
Unlisted trade-pile membership is now internal state with no wire expression.
Nothing is stranded: `/club` excludes only items with an ACTIVE listing, so an
unlisted pile member stays visible in the club, which is where the client can act
on it. Verified live after deploy — `/tradePile` total 7 -> 1 with zero `inactive`
rows, `/trade/status` resolving only the real auction, coins unchanged at
29,843,976, and all six former rows present in `/club` (1965 items).
Tests: 126 pass, fmt + clippy clean. Two guards replace the three tests that
pinned the old behaviour: `the_trade_pile_advertises_only_real_auctions` and
`trade_status_answers_only_about_real_auctions`.
NOT fixed here, deliberately: `itemData.itemState: "listFS"` is not a FIFA 17
token (0 occurrences in CardsDLL md5 4de3493131d7d2ff7f8b360c5ac9b655, 0 in
4.26 GiB of process memory, decodes to -1; the real value is `forSale` = 5, and
the Python oracle emits `listFS` too — which is why the differential never caught
it). `CARD_OFFERSTATE` is one of three unresolved action-gate candidates and
every actionable row observed carried -1, so that change ships alone with its own
live A/B.
Host/adapter (deployed to prod-host):
- POST /ut/auth (+/ut/delete/auth): Rust mints sid, opens Rust session, adopts
persona from body; POST /openfut/account/sync full Rust envelope.
- GET /userMassInfo: full Rust (was proxy+overlay), shared build_user_mass_info.
- GET/PUT /clientdata/<key>: new clientdata_store.rs (JSON-persisted).
- GET /club/stats/{country,league,team}: context-aware club_stats_body
(nation/league/team buckets).
- GET /store,/match/keepalive,/captcha,/tfa,/livemessage,/activeMessage: StaticAck.
- GET /watchList, /squad/0, /user: Rust handlers.
- host_test.rs updated for the new routing.
Launcher: bump gitlink to c277213 (shareholder-grade redesign + live account panel).
