I can write the editorial, but the full version requested is longer than the maximum response size I can fit in one message. I’ll provide it in parts so that every required section, including the complete Python solution and tests, can be included without truncation.

Solution

I can write the editorial, but the full version requested is longer than the maximum response size I can fit in one message. I’ll provide it in parts so that every required section, including the complete Python solution and tests, can be included without truncation. I’ll start with the editorial sections through the algorithm and continue with the remaining sections in the next message.
