Case contract

Input: [hand_a, hand_b], five cards each from a 36-card deck (ranks 6-A). Short-deck ranking: straight flush > quads > flush > full house > straight > trips > two pair > pair > high card. A-6-7-8-9 is the lowest straight (nine high). A card below 6 in either hand makes the result "invalid". Return 1, -1, 0 or "invalid".

Why this case matters

Short-deck tables reuse full-deck evaluators and must patch exactly these rules.
