ROOT CAUSE, one line. openfut-import-fifa17 emitted `"overall": 0` for every non-player Core definition while `d.rating` already held EA's authoritative `value` -- and the very next block wrote that same number correctly to the adapter catalog. So the tier existed host-side but never reached Core: Core overall 0 -> /collection effective_overall 0 -> CoreOwnedItem.rating 0 -> tier_for_rating(0) = Bronze for a Gold (88) manager. That silent mis-grant is exactly what the 409 was protecting against, so the refusal was correct. The emitter now also writes `source_rating`, keeping `overall` at 0. Regenerating the production pack changes exactly 18 entries and exactly one field each (source_rating None -> value); same 1710 ids, same fingerprint 28c333f1e833338a. WHY value IS the tier source, and why the thresholds are the player ladder: LIVE_PROVEN, not inferred. The client re-rates staff from its own managercards/*coachcards/physiocards by carddbid and applies discard_level's 65/75 ladder; coach_probe/discard_probe agree 4/4 (manager value 88 -> level 3, coaches 66 -> level 2). The shipped coach tables corroborate: each family has exactly 3 tiers x 2 rarities, and only 65/75 splits them 2/2/2. Manager contracts stop refusing and now resolve the TARGET's tier from Core-owned state. Still fail-closed everywhere it matters: a coach or physio is `contract_target_not_a_manager` (only cardsubtypeid 4 is a manager), and a manager Core carries no source_rating for is `manager_tier_unknown` rather than a guessed tier. Core's own content_kind token is sent as target_kind, because Core calls the squad manager `manager` while the catalog classifies it `staff`+subtype 4. NOT implemented, unchanged: STORED_MANAGER_BONUS and MATCH_CONTRACT_DECREMENT.

⚠️ 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 Everything below this banner describes the superseded FIFA 23bridgelineage and is kept for historical context.Run the server (canonical):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.

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.
