The game hung and then crashed on the first equippables fetch. My fault twice over.
CAUSE, primary. I copied teamid, leagueid and value straight out of the fcc row as
extras. `value` appears elsewhere as an OBJECT member (displayGroup {"value": ...}),
and a scalar where an object is expected is the type-desync busy loop at 0x1801c7f1a
-- which presents exactly as "the game is taking its time" and then dies. Omission is
safe; an unestablished field is not. That is this project's own rule and I broke it
for three fields that were not needed to draw a card. All three are gone.
CAUSE, contributing. The last request before the crash was type=equippables&count=11
and we answered with 30 items spanning FIVE unverified cardsubtypeids at once: the
widest possible blast radius for a wrong shape, and it tells you nothing about which
subtype was wrong. equippables now answers [] until the subtypes are confirmed one
family at a time, and shelf() takes a families= filter so a test can serve exactly one.
Adds FUT_CLUBITEMS=probe:<family>, which serves one item per candidate subtype for a
single family, so the screen names the correct subtype instead of me guessing a third
time. Eight items, one family, one question.
The flag already defaulted off, so a plain restart cannot serve any of this.
439 + 414 checks green.

Correcting an overstatement first: I said every card family works. Balls, stadia,
badges and kits do not, and this is the start of that, not the finish.
CLUB ITEMS (FUT_CLUBITEMS=1, default off). tools/fut_clubitems.py builds shelves from
the game's own tables: fcc_balls 42, fcc_stadium 78, fcc_badgecards 656,
fcc_kitcards 1482, fcc_leaguelogos 44, each with its real carddbid AND its real
cardassetid. Counts are wired into the club stat set, replacing the honest zeros
rather than appending a second row per id (the deserializer does
store[ctx][statId] = value, so two rows for one id is a coin toss).
Counts FIRST and on purpose. The consumables round proved the count gates the fetch:
the client does not ask for an item list until club/stats reports a non-zero count,
and the CLUB tab reads 0x1e balls, 0x28 kits, 0x14 stadia. Arming the counters is what
makes the client name the item route, which is the one thing static reading has never
produced for this family -- cardtype 9 has NO arm in the merge, so nothing about it is
discoverable from the card DB.
What is deliberately NOT guessed: which cardsubtypeid means ball versus stadium. The
eight values that reach cardtype 9 are {30,31,145..150} and the assignment appears in
none of the 149 dumped tables. probe_shelf() serves one item per candidate so the
screen can say which is which, rather than shipping a guess into someone's club.
PACKS (FUT_PACK_MIX=1, default on). A pack is no longer eleven footballers: roughly a
quarter of each pack is now consumables and occasionally staff, as a ratio so it
scales from a 5-card bronze to an 11-card premium. Club items are excluded until their
subtypes are verified -- a pack is the worst place to discover a wrong subtype,
because the card lands in the save and has to be cleaned out by hand.
Also fixes the art id AT THE SOURCE. fut_consumables now sets cardassetid from the
fcc_ tables, so a pack-granted consumable renders correctly too. The earlier fix only
corrected the copy served by the club route, which meant packs would have dealt cards
with the green NOT FOUND box again.
Pack tests run against a COPY of the profile, after an earlier test persisted 15 cards
into the live save and had to be undone by hand.
