Case contract

Strip and uppercase. A 7-character input with a space at index 3 loses the space. The result must be 6 characters alternating ASCII letter, digit, letter, digit, letter, digit. Letters D F I O Q U are forbidden everywhere; W and Z are forbidden in the first position only. Return "L9L 9L9" or None.

Why this case matters

Six-character alternating codes are typed with and without the space; rejecting or accepting the wrong letters silently drops or misroutes mail.

One recorded failure
