The leaderboard that forgets who it skipped

A teammate asked the AI assistant: "Write a rankPlayers(players) function for our quiz leaderboard. Sort by score, highest first, and attach a rank to each player. Use standard competition ranking: players with the same score share a rank, and the next distinct score gets the rank it would have in a plain numbered list (so 1, 2, 2, 4, not 1, 2, 2, 3). Also add a rankOf(players, name) helper for the profile page."

The code came back in under a minute, with passing tests. The contract promised by the docstring:

• Output is sorted by score, highest first; input order is kept among equal scores.
• rank starts at 1. Equal scores share the same rank.
• After a tie, the next rank accounts for every tied player: a player's rank is always one more than the number of players strictly ahead of them.
• rankOf returns that same rank for a single player, or null if the name is not on the board.

Review it before it ships to the weekly tournament page.
