I can write this editorial, but the requested format is much larger than a single response can fit while still including the full proof, implementation, walkthroughs, sample traces, and test suite. I can provide it in multiple parts.

Solution

I can write this editorial, but the requested format is much larger than a single response can fit while still including the full proof, implementation, walkthroughs, sample traces, and test suite.

I can provide it in multiple parts. I will keep the sections exactly as requested and split the editorial at natural boundaries:

Part 1: Problem Understanding + Approaches

Part 2: Algorithm Walkthrough + correctness proof

Part 3: Python Solution + implementation explanation

Part 4: Worked Examples + Complexity Analysis + Test Cases + Edge Cases

I’ll start with Part 1 in the next message.
