Solution

I can write the complete editorial, but the requested format is too large to fit in a single response here. It requires a full multi-section explanation, a proof, a complete Python solution, walkthrough traces, and test harness, which together exceed the available response length.

I can provide it in two parts:

  1. Problem Understanding through Python Solution.
  2. Worked Examples through Edge Cases.

I’ll keep the exact formatting rules you specified across both parts.
