Fix a backwards clash, and add 19 verified traps

Every entry here was checked against the running Steamodded source in
Mods/lovely/dump, not from memory.

The headline is a correction: the shipped CLASHES table warned that
Smeared Joker + Flower Pot "cannot make all four" suits. It is backwards.
Flower Pot fills its four suit slots with a greedy if/elseif chain
(card.lua:4256) and SMODS.smeared_check makes Hearts answer for Diamonds
and Spades for Clubs, so the second Heart falls through into the Diamond
slot: any two red + two black cards fill the pot. It is one of the
strongest combos in the game and the mod was steering players away from
it -- while simultaneously scoring the pair +2 via suit_flex, which
should have been the tell. It is now a famous pair.

New clashes (4 -> 22), all traced to the mechanism:
* Burglar zeroes discards_left on blind select (card.lua:2905), which
  switches off every discard-gated joker for the rest of the run: Banner,
  Delayed Gratification, Castle, Yorick, Hit the Road, Burnt, Mail-In
  Rebate, Faceless, Trading Card, and it wipes the discards Drunkard and
  Merry Andy hand you. Delayed Gratification is the cruellest -- "no
  discards used" reads like a synergy, but the code also requires
  discards_left > 0, so it pays exactly $0.
* Vampire strips enhancements in the `before` pass, ahead of the
  per-card `individual` pass where enhancement payoffs are read, so it
  eats what Golden Ticket, Glass, Stone Joker, Marble and Driver's
  License are counting.
* Joker Stencil scales on EMPTY slots, so Riff-Raff and Abstract Joker
  fight it.
* Splash makes every played card score, so a face card that used to be a
  harmless kicker now resets Ride the Bus.

New cautions (3 -> 15): the positional traps (Blueprint dead in the
rightmost slot, Brainstorm in the leftmost), Mime doing nothing without a
held-card payoff, and the decay timers, whose numbers are exact from
game.lua (Ice Cream 100/5 = 20 hands, Popcorn 20/4 = 5 rounds).

Also corrects the stale game path in CLAUDE.md.
