Small Bug with Superposition + Four Fingers

[Mune]

Hello!
Loving Balatro so far. I'm not sure if this is considered a bug, but superposition (a hand with an ace and a straight gives a tarot card) and four fingers (can create a straight from four cards) does not work if the ace is not in the straight. Not sure if this is intended, but figured I'd bring it to discussion just in case. Thanks!

Does your hand contain an Ace and a Straight, as Superposition requires? No, so Superposition does nothing, as expected.

I'm confused, what's the bug? Can you not make 4 card straights?

Superposition's text doesn't seem as crystal clear as some, because 'poker hand' isn't a keyword that seems to be used a lot, but it does say "if poker hand contains an Ace and a Straight".

If you play 5 cards of which four form a straight, and the ace is just a fifth tacked-on card that isn't part of that, it doesn't qualify. This appears to be known behavior, it's in the wiki. The poker hand is the four cards, not all five.

I don't know whether using Splash to make the Ace be scoring even though it's not exactly part of the poker hand would work to trigger Superposition. Wiki doesn't mention it in that context.

I suspect a trick I did a lot when playing four fingers plus Checkered Deck would work: play a straight flush by playing five cards where four of the cards form a non-flush straight and four of the cards form a non-straight flush. If the ace was the card in the flush but not the straight, I think it ought to trigger, because the poker hand is the whole 5-card straight flush.
