funman300 6c97bc4e2b feat(fifa17): real player-contract consumable apply, replacing the probe
POST /ut/game/fifa17/item/resource/<rid> {"apply":[{"id":N}]} now performs a
durable atomic contract application instead of falling through to Python.

THE RULE. grant = fcc_contractcards[card][tier(TARGET.rating)], then
min(99, contract + grant). The column is keyed on the TARGET's tier, NOT the
card's own -- all 36 cells of EA's shipped table match the published FIFA 17
matrix, and staging discriminates the two readings outright: a bronze-RARE
card on a rating-89 player granted 3 (the gold column), where the card-level
reading predicts 15.

No client binary reads fcc_contractcards -- a string scan of every .exe/.dll
in the install finds it referenced nowhere, and CardsDLL reads only 14 fcc_
tables (fcc_discardcoins among them, which is why quick-sell prices locally).
Consumable effects are server-authoritative, so EA's shipped table is the only
non-invented source and the client renders whatever we persist and re-serve.

The host computes the grant, Core owns the mutation -- the same split
quick-sell already uses (host prices via discard_value, Core performs
sell_item), and what migration 0027 means by "Core defines NO per-category
formula".

FAILS CLOSED, never 200-and-do-nothing: manager contracts 409 because staff
ratings are unimported so the target tier is unknowable; every other family
409 as unproven; batch 400; unresolvable operand 404. Core's deterministic
refusals pass through with their own status instead of collapsing to 503,
which would tell the client to retry a request that can never succeed.

`contract: 7` stops being a hardcode in shape_item/shape_staff_item and
becomes the fallback for an instance Core tracks no contract for. `fitness: 99`
is the same class of hardcode and is deliberately untouched.

CLEAN CUTOVER: Route::ConsumableApplyProbe, its handler, apply_probe_enabled,
the OPENFUT_FIFA17_APPLY_PROBE gate and both probe scripts are deleted. A
handler no classifier can reach is this repo's recurring defect class, and the
new economy arm preempts the probe. fifa17-migration-rehearse.py also drove
the probe (spelled "apply probe", so an apply-probe grep missed it) and would
have eaten a card off the rehearsal profile; retargeted to a non-mutating
assertion.

Not implemented, on purpose: the stored-manager bonus (real mechanic, rule
appears in no shipped table -- guessing it would corrupt the proven part) and
contract decrement per match (nothing spends contracts yet).

openfut-adapter-fifa17

The FIFA 17 game adapter. Everything true of FIFA 17 specifically lives here, so that neither OpenFUT Core nor the generic protocol crates have to know about it.

Status

Surface Port State
Blaze / Fire2 RPC 42130 Implemented, byte-for-byte parity-tested
Redirector (HTTPS + XML) 42127 Python only
Nucleus OAuth stub 42131 Python only
LSX / Origin 4216 Python only
Roster XML 8081 Python only
UTAS / RS4 8099 Python only
POW / EASFC 8094 / 8080 Python only

Nothing here is wired into the running backend. The crate answers frames; it opens no socket, terminates no TLS and owns no runtime. The Python backend remains the live service and the behavioural oracle.

What the adapter owns, and what it must not

Owns: component/command/notification IDs, response body shapes, dispatch ordering, session identity, the fetchClientConfig tables.

Must not own: FUT domain state. Blaze is an auth/session/config protocol — no coins, packs, clubs or squads appear on this wire — so Session holds a session key, a locale, a service name, an auth code and a flag, and that is all. When UTAS is migrated that boundary will need active defending; here it comes free.

Parity

./check-parity.sh          # oracle freshness + byte-for-byte replay
./check-parity.sh --regen  # after an intentional oracle change

fixtures/blaze_transactions.jsonl holds 49 request→response(s) transactions produced by calling the real blaze_responder_v3b.dispatch(). They replay in order against a shared session per connection, so ordering-dependent behaviour is exercised rather than assumed: preAuth captures the locale that later ALOC fields echo, and login sets the auth code getAuthToken returns afterwards.

Comparison is byte-for-byte including frame count and order — a missing post-login notification or a reply where the oracle stays silent fails here.

The suite was mutation-tested: swapping two post-login notifications, flipping one enum deep inside AccountInfo, and hardcoding an address in utas_base()/nucleus_base() were each verified to turn it red. The third initially did not, because the config templating had made those helpers dead code; the table now templates on URL-level tokens so they are the single place a URL shape is defined.

Three behaviours that are easy to get wrong

  • Login answers with four frames, in order: reply, then UserAuthenticated, UserSessionExtendedDataUpdate, UserAdded.
  • An unimplemented RPC still gets an empty reply. Silence makes the client wait for a timeout; an empty reply lets every field fall back to a client-side default and the boot continues.
  • Non-request message types get nothing at all.

No error replies are emitted. msgType 3 exists, but the error-code placement is UNRESOLVED — three clean-room sources disagree between header[14:16], a metadata ERRC, and a payload CNTX/ERRC — so emitting one would be a guess on the wire.

The client config table

fixtures/client_config.json carries 227243 rows per CFID, generated from the Python oracle and templated on {utas_base}, {nucleus_base}, {pow_content_url}, {advertise}, {bind}, {pow_host}. It is reverse-engineered data, not logic, and deriving it mechanically removes a class of transcription typo no reviewer could catch. The generator does not take its own templating on trust: it substitutes real addresses back in and diffs against the oracle for every section before writing the file.

The table must be complete, not representative. The client resolves a per-call key (FUT_RS4_URL_<CALL>) before a per-module one, and any unresolved call falls back to a real, dead EA host — that is what produced "there has been an error connecting to FIFA 17 Ultimate Team" mid-session when only the boot subset was served.

Known defect reproduced deliberately

nucleusConnect and nucleusConnectTrusted are built from the bind address, not the advertised one. On the live split deployment that means the backend tells a client on another machine to reach Nucleus at http://0.0.0.0:42131, which it cannot. Verified against the running container, not inferred.

This is reproduced exactly, because it is what the only proven-working configuration does and changing it would break parity. It also implies the Nucleus stub is not actually reached in the current remote flow. Fixing it is a separate change that needs live validation — see the vault.

Configuration

Nothing is hardcoded. AdapterConfig carries Identity (persona, ids, email, namespace, entitlement group, …) and Endpoints (advertise, bind, POW hosts, telemetry/ticker/QoS ports). Default gives the project's synthetic offline identity on loopback; a remote deployment must override advertise.

Bind and advertise are deliberately distinct: an advertised URL must carry the address the client can reach, which on a two-machine deployment is not the address the server binds.
