openfut.cfg is not the source of truth for the client's Blaze ports -- the launcher
is. It reconciles openfut.cfg from ~/.config/openfut-launcher/config.json,
fail-closed, immediately before every launch. So `staging` set the ports, verified
them, and the next launch silently reverted them.
Caught only because the capture harness cross-checks instead of trusting the screen.
The operator reported "the Transfers tile does not show Sold" -- which looked like a
clean negative result about the sold counter, and was in fact a reading of their
PRODUCTION club, where sold:0 is correct. Evidence chain:
* route-log delta contained 5 lines, all of them the harness's own GETs; the
client issued nothing to staging at all;
* `ss -tnp` on the client showed FIFA17.exe pid 39482 ESTAB to 10.10.0.120:42130
(production Blaze) plus TIME-WAIT to :8099 (production UTAS);
* the hook logged `blaze_redir=42127 blaze_main=42130`;
* openfut.cfg mtime was 2s before process start, sha back to the production value.
Had the harness reported the tile at face value, the sold counter recovered from
CardsDLL would now be recorded as refuted by a run that never reached the code.
Fixes: own the launcher config (source) before openfut.cfg (derived), with the same
record-before-mutate sidecar discipline on both; refuse to edit while the launcher is
running, since it holds config in memory and would write the stale values back;
report both files and both guards in `show`. launcher_running() matches the
kernel-truncated comm "openfut-launche" -- the full name exceeds 15 chars, which has
bitten this project before.
No production change; staging stack and its variant-A sold row untouched.
