`openfut-switch.sh on` prints "the service MUST stay up" -- true, and useless when nobody is at the terminal. An armed switch pointing at a dead port means the client hits a closed socket with no fallback. This turns the documented rollback into an automatic one, failing toward the Python oracle. The worst case of a spurious trip is a gate needing re-arming; it can never leave the client broken. It only ever REMOVES a switch. It does not install one, restart the Rust service, or touch Python, and it does not re-arm after tripping -- an unexplained rollback should be a finding to read, not something hidden by flapping the switch back on. The probe goes through the switch and speaks TLS, because a bare TCP connect would succeed against a process wedged mid-handshake. Tested both directions, not just the happy path: quiet for 45s against a healthy service, and against a stopped one it failed 3/3 in 9s, rolled back, and left Python serving -- verified by re-reading all four tables and by which implementation's log grew.
OpenFUT
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.

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.
