## Unresolved Or Stale

- `scouting_bonus_minimum_minutes` (stale): Do not enforce a Scouting Bonus minimum-minute condition until current official evidence states one.
- `mystery_booster` (unresolved): Official JSON says the effect will be revealed after Round 3 locks. Validators must warn and not model it.
- `penalty_misses_shootout_treatment` (unresolved): Shootout exclusion for saves is confirmed. Absence of a penalty-miss row is not enough to invent a no-deduction rule.
- `appearance_scoring_interpretation` (unresolved): The official table does not explicitly say whether the rows stack to +2 at 60 minutes.
- `third_place_final_round_packaging` (unresolved): Current official rules say Before the Final but do not explicitly package the third-place play-off.
