RE of the FUT front-end closed the question the Actions-panel investigation left open, and the answer retracts Q2 rather than completing it. `tradeState` reaches exactly ONE native branch in CardsDLL — `cmp …,0x4` at `0x18013e619`, "is it closed?" — and `inactive`(2) and `expired`(3) take the same edge, producing bit-identical `flagA`/`flagB` (exhaustive 22-site census of `[reg+0x88]` reads across the PE; confirmed live, both classes read glow=0 inbox=0). The value is then handed to the movie verbatim as the Flash property `STATE`, and the action gate lives in the APT/ActionScript FUT front-end: the trade-pile class partitions rows with `getCardsInAuction`/`isInActiveAuction` (traces `initPile() - IN AUCTION:` / `- NOT IN AUCTION:`) and only auction rows reach `PreCheckCardOptions` -> `handleTradeCardAction`. A non-auction row renders and can never be acted on, which is exactly what the operator saw. So the rows were never usable. "LIVE-CONFIRMED" established that they RENDER, which is not the same claim, and I treated it as if it were. The corpus said this before any of it was built — `plan-2026-08-06-transfer-market.md:731-733`: "`inactive` decodes but no client path treats it specially; do not emit it." The earlier note explaining that the warning "was written about the PRESENTATION function" was motivated reasoning. This also fires the corpus's own pre-registered falsifier E3 (:368-373). Removed: the `inactive` projection from `GET …/tradePile` and `…/trade/status`, `UnlistedCandidate`, `resolve_unlisted_pile`, `unlisted_record`, `Server::resolve_trade_pile`, and the two helpers that existed only to feed them (`MarketStore::blocking_core_items`, `Fifa17IdentityResolver::wire_for_owned_id`). Unlisted trade-pile membership is now internal state with no wire expression. Nothing is stranded: `/club` excludes only items with an ACTIVE listing, so an unlisted pile member stays visible in the club, which is where the client can act on it. Verified live after deploy — `/tradePile` total 7 -> 1 with zero `inactive` rows, `/trade/status` resolving only the real auction, coins unchanged at 29,843,976, and all six former rows present in `/club` (1965 items). Tests: 126 pass, fmt + clippy clean. Two guards replace the three tests that pinned the old behaviour: `the_trade_pile_advertises_only_real_auctions` and `trade_status_answers_only_about_real_auctions`. NOT fixed here, deliberately: `itemData.itemState: "listFS"` is not a FIFA 17 token (0 occurrences in CardsDLL md5 4de3493131d7d2ff7f8b360c5ac9b655, 0 in 4.26 GiB of process memory, decodes to -1; the real value is `forSale` = 5, and the Python oracle emits `listFS` too — which is why the differential never caught it). `CARD_OFFERSTATE` is one of three unresolved action-gate candidates and every actionable row observed carried -1, so that change ships alone with its own live A/B.
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.

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.
