funman300 f0c6dcf238 tooling: verified backup, state snapshot, retargetable apply validator
Promotion prep for the contract-apply cutover, which unlike the quick-sell
promotion moves BOTH binaries and applies a schema migration.

fifa17-promotion-backup.py uses SQLite's online backup API, not cp. Production
runs WAL with a routinely uncheckpointed WAL (515 KB at capture time); copying
the main file alone is not atomic against a live writer and carries no
guarantee the WAL holds no newer committed state. Emits a checksummed backup, a
metadata record and a RESTORE-*.sh that removes the stale -wal/-shm BEFORE
restoring -- omit that and SQLite replays the old journal over the file you just
put back, resurrecting the state you were abandoning.

fifa17-promotion-snapshot.py is read-only (mode=ro) and counts EVERY table
rather than a hand-picked list, so a delta cannot hide in a table nobody thought
to name. It also fingerprints the ownership rows, catching a row silently
rewritten when counts alone would match.

fifa17-contract-apply-validate.py gains --host/--db so one tool serves staging,
the migration rehearsal and the production acceptance run. Defaults stay
staging: there is deliberately no production default, so a bare invocation
cannot touch production.

OpenFUT

⚠️ 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 Everything below this banner describes the superseded FIFA 23 bridge lineage and is kept for historical context.

Run the server (canonical): cd fifa17-recon/docker/fifa17-python && docker compose up -d — see fifa17-recon/FUT-RUNBOOK.md. openfut-core is the shared offline backend (still used by the FIFA 17 path); openfut-bridge is 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.

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.

Disclaimer

This project is not affiliated with EA Sports. You must own FIFA 23 legitimately to use this software. This project does not bypass any ownership verification and is intended only to restore offline playability of a game whose online services have been retired.
