test_fut_contract.py no longer imports ACCOUNT from fut_account. The expected persona comes from FUT_TEST_PERSONA_ID and the target from FUT_TEST_BASE, so the suite now imports nothing but stdlib and talks to a server at a URL. That is what lets these 380 checks certify ANY implementation of the reversed spec, a future Rust openfut-core included, without replaying the reverse engineering. The original reason for reading ACCOUNT still holds and is preserved in the comment: suite and server must not each hold a private copy of the constant, or the identity-consistency checks would only prove two copies matched. Also adds pileSizeClientData(0x227) behind FUT_PILESIZES (default off). A probe run with 16 uniquely-valued entries did NOT move the MY CLUB counter, so that member is eliminated as its source; the code is kept for the record and flagged off. Docs: OPENFUT_PROJECT_REPORT.md and OPENFUT_HANDOFF.md. The report now separates "built but untested" from "never requested by the client" -- the server log records User-Agent, and splitting real client traffic (ProtoHttp) from this project's own probes shows /season, /tournament, /champion, /match, /clubUser and /user/list are at ZERO client requests. /clubUser (0 client, 93 probe) and /user/list (0 client, 180 probe) are the starkest: work was done on both assuming the client wanted them.

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.

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.
