I doubt this is specific to hashjoins, we estimate cardinality the same
way for all joins (or more precisely, we estimate it before picking the
particular join method).

I'm just guessing, but I'd bet the join condition is correlated with the
filter on cs_contract:

If you remove that condition, does the estimate improve?
