+# ESB-50 Blocks ESB-51: Dependency Ordering
+
+## Decision
+ESB-50 (SF-CA getter) must be completed before ESB-51 (object handler config) can be finalized.
+
+## Rationale
+The existing `sf-ca.json` mapping was written speculatively and may not match actual Salesforce field names from the Commercial Aquatics instance. Real raw data must be pulled via the ESB-50 getter to confirm:
+- Actual Salesforce API field names for Account and Contact objects
+- Which fields are reliably populated vs. sparse
+- The correct values for `db_platform_code` and `db_source_code` for CloudSQL routing
+
+## Sequence
+1. Build and test ESB-50 getter against real SF-CA instance
+2. Inspect raw payload to verify field names
+3. Update sf-ca.json mapping in ESB-51 with confirmed field names
+4. Fix copy-paste bug in Contact `required_platform_fields`
