Solution

I can write this editorial, but the requested format is too large to fit reliably into a single response while also including a full proof, implementation walkthrough, code, traces, and test suite.

I can split it into two parts:

Part 1: Problem Understanding, Approaches, Algorithm Walkthrough, correctness proof, and complexity.

Part 2: Python Solution, code explanation, worked examples, tests, and edge cases.

I’ll continue with Part 1 first.
