Recreating the Docker anchor left the supervised Core and host stranded in the dead namespace while systemd still reported them active — serving nobody, invisible to any monitoring that trusts unit state. Reproduced on staging: netns 4026539938 -> 4026540033, both pids unchanged in the old one, both units "active", traffic ConnectionResetError. There is no systemd-native edge signal to bind to. Containers do appear as units, but the scope name embeds the container ID (docker-<id>.scope), which changes on every recreate, so BindsTo= has no stable target; NetworkNamespacePath= resolves once at start; a .path unit on /run/netns would watch the file this tooling maintains. So: a level-triggered reconcile on a 10s timer, comparing the namespace the services are ACTUALLY in against the anchor's CURRENT one, acting only on a real difference. That cannot miss an event while the watcher restarts or dockerd is down, and needs no debounce — a burst of three recreations produced exactly one rebind. The trigger stays separable: a docker-events unit could invoke the same script. Anchor absent stops the dependants rather than falling back to host networking; docker unavailable logs once and retries on the next tick. Two defects found while testing and fixed here: - mount --bind STACKS when the old mount is busy, silently leaking nsfs entries; the bind helper now drains stale mounts in a loop. - reconcile must stop -> rebind -> start, not rebind -> restart: a running service holds the old namespace open and makes the umount fail busy. Staging also gained a faithful anchor container so the reproduction is structural rather than mocked. Economy state was byte-identical across every lifecycle test. Production units are templates only and remain uninstalled.
OpenFUT
⚠️ Status — see
docs/PROJECT_STATE.md(canonical). The working, actively-developed target is FIFA 17, not FIFA 23. Everything below this banner describes the superseded FIFA 23bridgelineage and is kept for historical context.Run the server (canonical):
cd fifa17-recon/docker/fifa17-python && docker compose up -d— seefifa17-recon/FUT-RUNBOOK.md.openfut-coreis the shared offline backend (still used by the FIFA 17 path);openfut-bridgeis the retired FIFA 23 integration.
Offline Ultimate Team — like SPT, but for FIFA 23.
OpenFUT replaces EA's retired FUT servers with a fully offline, single-player backend. You own FIFA 23 legitimately. You just want to keep playing after EA shut down the servers.

SQLite database
Core is game-independent. It speaks a clean REST API and knows nothing about FIFA 23 internals.
Bridge is FIFA-specific. It speaks FIFA 23's wire protocol and translates it into Core API calls. Bridge is where all reverse engineering work happens.

Running
# Start the offline backend
cd openfut-core
cargo run
# Start the proxy (for traffic capture / FIFA integration)
cd openfut-bridge
cargo run
Core listens on http://127.0.0.1:8080 by default.
Bridge listens on http://127.0.0.1:8443 by default.
Design Principles
- Offline-first. No EA account required. No internet connection needed.
- Single-player only. This is not a multiplayer server emulator.
- Data-driven. All cards, packs, SBCs, and objectives are JSON files. Everything is moddable.
- Clean architecture. Core has zero knowledge of FIFA 23. Bridge has zero game logic.
- No copyrighted assets. No real player images, no EA trademarks in data files.
