Completed the refusing-modes workflow (ground truth + 4 per-mode investigations + adversarial verify each + synthesis). All four mode families -- Seasons, Draft, SBC/Objectives, Tournaments -- are NOT_SERVER_REACHABLE, HIGH confidence, all four adversarial refutations failed. Live re-confirmed on pid 24653 (slide proven via FNV control): every named mode-gating byte reads ENABLED=1 (IS_FRIENDLY_SEASON_ENABLED +0x1fd3a, IS_TOURNAMENT_QUIT_ENABLED +0x1fd3b, IS_DRAFT_MODE_ENABLED +0x1fd3d, plus the unnamed offline-draft-enable +0x1fd3e) yet the tiles stay greyed. The new lead this pass added -- do the six /hub mode sub-objects gate availability? -- is refuted: friendlySeason/offlineSeason/onlineSeason/draftSummary/tournament/ tournamentProgress carry only stats and display strings, no enabled/available/ unlocked atom. They are cosmetic, exactly like hub.tradePile. The one server-writable input that exists (friendlySeasonsEnabled -> +0x1fd3a via applier FUN_18011dc50) has its sole reader in the packed FIFA17.exe front-end via a vtable getter with no CardsDLL caller, and it is already 1. The refusal is decided in the Denuvo-packed Frostbite front-end, which has no server surface. docs/plan-2026-08-06-refusing-modes.md: full evidence chains, gate-byte table, the six sub-deser field maps, per-mode verdicts.

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.

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.

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.
