Development progress — v3.5.169BN exact-clone profile reconstruction

The R7S Legends Database development line has reached v3.5.169BN — EXACT CLONE FAMILY / REAL-PROFILE ATTRIBUTE RECONSTRUCTION. This is an internal PRE-RUNTIME build and does not replace the current public download yet.

The trigger was a forensic exact-clone group: Giancarlo Antognoni, Jean-Michel Larqué, Stjepan Lamza and Mimis Domazos retained the same explicit 29-attribute body despite being four materially different historical midfielders. v3.5.169BN reconstructs all four as complete player-specific 36-attribute profiles.

CA/PA was deliberately left unchanged: Antognoni 188/192, Larqué 186/191, Lamza 185/190 and Domazos 188/192. The branch adds 129 append-only attribute writes and does not alter positions, date of birth, preferred foot, PPMs, personality, club, contract, playing history, finances or the established de-aging work.

The resulting profiles are now materially distinct. Antognoni is built around elite technique, vision, passing, first touch, flair and long-range/set-piece quality. Larqué is differentiated by free kicks, vision, leadership, decisions, teamwork and technique. Lamza is reconstructed around dribbling, technique, first touch, flair, agility, stamina and two-way midfield work. Domazos receives the strongest number-10 / captain profile of the group, emphasizing dribbling, flair, leadership, passing, technique, vision, agility and decisions.

Static validation passed: the v3.5.169BM prefix remains byte-identical through the append boundary, all 129 new record IDs are unique and contiguous, and all 129 target last-writer values were re-read successfully from the produced XML. Output XML SHA-256: a08ff054cb3a8013f414831d41332d0262d453fe65472234120ddbddacfc1aef.

The next outfield clone family queued for player-specific research is Vedat Okyar / Alfred Pfaff / Uwe Bein / Thiago, followed by Norberto Alonso / Enzo Scifo / Vikash Dhorasoo. Goalkeeper template groups remain on a separate GK-specific pass, and same-name duplicate shells remain identity/runtime work rather than independent attribute targets.

Important: v3.5.169BN is still PRE-RUNTIME. FM26 Editor save/reopen and a fresh-career runtime test are still required before this branch can be promoted as a public downloadable release.
