Case contract

Input [t1,h1,t2,h2,t] in hours/metres for consecutive turning points t1<t2 (rise or fall). The interval is split into six equal tide hours with cumulative twelfths 0,1,3,6,9,11,12 and linear interpolation inside a tide hour. Return height rounded to 4 decimals, or None when t2<=t1 or t lies outside [t1,t2].

Why this case matters

Tide tables and passage plans turn published predictions into go/no-go decisions about depth, clearance and timing.
