Deleting cards from someone's club is their call, not the tool's. The nine
unrepairable blanks are now KEPT unless --delete-dead is passed. A blank card is ugly,
not harmful, and the 175 stale cards were never the deletion candidates anyway: they
are real players wearing old invented numbers and they get repaired in place.
Also records the build round's synthesis as docs/plan-2026-08-05-families.md.

Audit of the live club: 194 items, 10 already correct, 175 stale, 9 dead.
STALE means a real FIFA 17 player carrying the old invented fields: attributes
computed from the rating, and in some cases a wrong club or nation (Kroos was stored
at Bayern and is at Real Madrid; Alaba was nation 40 and is Austria 4). Those are
REPAIRED in place from data/pool.json rather than deleted. Deleting them would throw
away 90 percent of the club for no reason: name, face and badge are already right and
only the numbers are wrong, and the item id does not change so squad slots survive.
DEAD means the playerid is not in the roster at all, so the client misses and stamps
its generic blank. Nothing to repair, so those are removed. A dead card referenced by
a saved squad is kept rather than breaking the slot.
The nation and team mappings were spot-checked against the game's own nations and
teams tables before trusting them across 175 cards: 4 Austria, 21 Germany, 38
Portugal, 60 Uruguay, 243 Real Madrid, 5 Chelsea.
MUST RUN WITH utas_server STOPPED. The server keeps the profile in memory and
rewrites it on its own schedule, so an edit underneath a running server is clobbered
by the next save. That is why the nine dead cards removed on 2026-08-04 were back a
few hours later: the removal was correct and the running server undid it.
