+description: Create GitHub issues for this LeetCode campaign — individual problem issues and the topic issues that own them — using the repo's exact title, label, milestone, body, and sub-issue conventions. Use when asked to add/create an issue for a LeetCode problem or a topic, attach a problem to its topic, or backfill the issue catalog.
+---
+
+# Campaign issues
+
+The GitHub issue tracker **is the campaign catalog**: ~24 `topic` issues each own a
+set of `problem` sub-issues. The Worker reconciles this catalog into D1 nightly
+(`/admin/reconcile`), so a correctly-labelled issue is all that's needed — the SRS,
+digest, charts, and Project mirror pick it up automatically. Get the labels/body shape
+right; everything downstream is reconciliation.
+
+All commands use `gh` against `prdlk/leetcode` and fall back to `gh auth token`.
+
+## Problem issue
+
+One issue per LeetCode problem, attached as a sub-issue of its topic.
+
+- **Title:** `LC <num> · <Title>` — the LC number and the problem's name, nothing
+  else. Separator is a middle dot `·` (U+00B7) with single spaces. Difficulty and
+  set are **labels only**; never repeat them in the title (they used to be a `·
+  Hard · core` suffix — that is gone, and `catalog.ts` no longer parses it).
+- **Labels** (four, all required — these are what the Worker reads):
+  - `problem` — marks the sub-issue as curriculum; without it the reconcile skips it.
+  - `diff:easy` | `diff:medium` | `diff:hard` — LeetCode's own rating, do not invent.
+  - `set:core` | `set:optional` | `set:deferred` — see set semantics below.
+  - `phase:N` — the **topic's** phase (same phase label the topic issue carries).
+- **Milestone:**
+  - `core` / `optional` → the topic's phase milestone.
+  - `deferred` → `Review — Transfer & Mocks` (deferred Hards are parked until week 8).
+  - Pass the milestone **title**, not its number, to `--milestone`.
+- **Body** (exact shape; `<slug>` is the LeetCode URL slug, `<topic-issue>` the owning topic's number):
+
+  ```
+  https://leetcode.com/problems/<slug>/
+
+  - **Topic:** #<topic-issue>
+  - **Set:** <core|optional|deferred>
+  - **Language:** Python
+
+  ### Close-out (paste before closing this issue)
+  - Time: O(?)
+  - Space: O(?)
+  - Edge case traced:
+  - First attempt passed: yes / no
+  - Miss note:
+  ```
+
+Create it:
+
+```sh
+gh issue create --repo prdlk/leetcode \
+  --title "LC 42 · Trapping Rain Water" \
+  --label problem --label set:core --label diff:hard --label phase:1 \
+  --milestone "Phase I — Linear Structures" \
+  --body "https://leetcode.com/problems/trapping-rain-water/
+
+- **Topic:** #9
+- **Set:** core
+- **Language:** Python
+
+### Close-out (paste before closing this issue)
+- Time: O(?)
+- Space: O(?)
+- Edge case traced:
+- First attempt passed: yes / no
+- Miss note:"
+```
+
+Then **attach it as a sub-issue of the topic** (this is a separate API call — creating
+the issue does not link it). The sub-issues API wants the child's internal **id**, not
+its issue number, and the field is integer-typed, so use `-F` (not `-f`):
+
+```sh
+child_id=$(gh api repos/prdlk/leetcode/issues/211 --jq '.id')
+gh api --method POST repos/prdlk/leetcode/issues/9/sub_issues -F sub_issue_id=$child_id
+# verify
+gh api repos/prdlk/leetcode/issues/9/sub_issues --jq '.[] | "\(.number)  \(.title)"'
+```
+
+## Topic issue
+
+One issue per curriculum topic; owns the problem sub-issues.
+
+- **Title:** `Topic NN — <Name>` (zero-padded number, em dash, e.g. `Topic 07 — Monotonic Stack`).
+- **Labels:** `topic`, `phase:N`.
+- **Milestone:** that phase's milestone (title, not number).
+- **Body:**
+
+  ```
+  **Scheduled:** <Weekday Mon DD, YYYY>
+  **Phase:** <Roman> — <Phase name> (Week N)
+  **Builds on:** Topic <n>
+
+  ### Trigger
+  TODO
+
+  ### Invariant
+  TODO
+
+  ### Trap
+  TODO
+
+  ### Close-out ritual
+  Before every submit, out loud:
+  1. State time and space complexity.
+  2. Trace one edge case.
+
+  ### Day rules
+  - 90-minute coding cap. Stop at the cap, even mid-problem.
+  - Core problems first. Optional only if the core is done.
+  - Finished early? Do this topic's optional set. Do not start tomorrow.
+  ```
+
+`Scheduled` should come from the calendar of record — `apps/api/data/schedule.json`
+(`date → { topics: [issue, …] }`; a doubled day lists two) — not guessed.
+
+Gate problems (`gate: [...]` in the same file) must exist in the catalog before their
+Saturday, or the Worker refuses to create the review issue: create each as a
+`set:optional` problem sub-issue of its natural topic. Being named in the plan keeps it
+out of the drill pool, so it stays unseen until the gate.
+
+## Reference tables
+
+Set semantics (from the label descriptions):
+
+| set | meaning | milestone |
+|---|---|---|
+| `core` | must solve on the topic day | topic's phase milestone |
+| `optional` | solve only if the clock allows | topic's phase milestone |
+| `deferred` | a Hard, parked until week 8 | `Review — Transfer & Mocks` |
+
+Milestones (`--milestone` takes the **title**):
+
+| # | title |
+|---|---|
+| 1 | Phase I — Linear Structures |
+| 2 | Phase II — Nodal & Grid |
+| 3 | Phase III — Hierarchical |
+| 4 | Phase IV — Relational |
+| 5 | Phase V — Decision Space |
+| 6 | Review — Transfer & Mocks |
+
+Find a topic issue and confirm its phase before creating problems under it:
+
+```sh
+gh issue list --repo prdlk/leetcode --label topic --state all --limit 30 \
+  --json number,title,labels,milestone
+```
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **Check the LC number is not already in the curriculum BEFORE creating.** D1 keys
+  `problems` on `lc_number` (`ON CONFLICT(lc_number)`), so two issues for one LC number
+  silently fight over a single row — whichever the reconcile walks last wins, and the
+  loser's issue number ends up orphaned in D1. A problem can legitimately move topic or
+  set; that is a relabel/re-parent of the *existing* issue, never a second issue:
+
+  ```sh
+  gh issue list --repo prdlk/leetcode --label problem --state all --limit 300 \
+    --search "LC 42" --json number,title,labels,state
+  ```
+
+  If a row already exists, change the existing issue instead: swap its `set:*` label,
+  move the sub-issue to the new topic, and fix its milestone. Then reconcile the board
+  (`project-fields` skill). If a duplicate did get created and one is deleted, the
+  surviving issue number and set only reach D1 on the next catalog reconcile — SRS
+  columns (`stage`, `next_review`) are preserved, since they are the real attempt history.
+
+- **`-F` vs `-f`:** `sub_issue_id` must be an integer; `-f` sends a string and the API
+  rejects it with `is not of type integer`.
+- **id, not number:** the sub-issue payload wants the child's `.id` (a large opaque
+  integer), never its display `#number`.
+- **`--milestone` wants the title string**, not the numeric id (`'1' not found` otherwise).
+- **Reconcile, don't react:** don't edit D1 or the Project by hand — a correct issue is
+  reconciled into SRS state on the nightly cron. Solutions landing in `work/` are what
+  close problem issues (via `close-solved.yml`), which then roll up to close topics.
+- **Difficulty is LeetCode's**, `set` is our scheduling choice — they're independent. A
+  Hard can be `core` if we deliberately schedule it (vs the usual `deferred`).

+description: Write the `## Approach` section — a Mermaid flowchart that traces the submitted solution — for every docs solution page under apps/docs/content/ that lacks one, using the repo's exact placement and node conventions. Use when asked to add/implement/fill in missing approaches, draw the approach diagram for a problem page, or when `/problem-approach` is run.
+---
+
+# Problem approach diagrams
+
+Every solution page (`apps/docs/content/(<phase>)/<topic>/<num>-<slug>.mdx`) has a
+hand-owned section before the script-owned one:
+
+```
+frontmatter → ::::warning (maybe) → ### Example N / ### Constraints
+## Approach        ← this skill (Mermaid flowchart of the code below)
+## Solution        ← bun run sync owns this; never edit inside it
+```
+
+`sync.ts` regenerates only `## Solution`, so an `## Approach` placed **before** it
+survives every re-sync; anything placed inside `## Solution` is overwritten on the
+next `work/` push.
+
+## The command: fill every missing approach
+
+1. **Find the pages** (numbered pages with no `## Approach` heading):
+
+   ```sh
+   grep -L '^## Approach' apps/docs/content/*/*.mdx
+   ```
+
+2. **For each page**, read `## Solution` and write the diagram from *that code* — the
+   one on the page, not the textbook algorithm. The reader compares diagram and code
+   line by line; the diagram is a trace, not a lecture.
+
+3. **Insert** the section between the `### Constraints:` list and `## Solution`,
+   blank-line separated on both sides:
+
+   ````md
+   - `-100 <= Node.val <= 100`
+
+   ## Approach
+
+   ```mermaid
+   flowchart TD
+     …
+   ```
+
+   ## Solution
+   ````
+
+4. **Check** each diagram by hand against the syntax rules below (the docs build does
+   not parse Mermaid — a broken diagram fails only in the browser), then run the
+   docs build once at the end and review the pages in `bun run dev`:
+
+   ```sh
+   cd apps/docs && bunx blume build --isolated && rm -rf .blume-verify
+   ```
+
+Pages with two languages (`<CodeGroup>`) get **one** diagram, traced from the
+Python version. Pages with only JavaScript trace the JavaScript.
+
+## Diagram conventions
+
+Reference page: `apps/docs/content/(array)/15-3sum.mdx`. Every existing diagram
+follows this shape:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TD
+  S(["threeSum(nums)"]) --> O["nums.sort() — duplicates become adjacent"]
+  O --> F{"more i in 0..n-1?"}
+  F -- no --> E(["return result"])
+  F -- yes --> D{"nums[i] == nums[i-1]?"}
+  D -- yes --> F
+  D -- no --> P["left = i+1, right = n-1, target = -nums[i]"]
+  P --> W{"left < right?"}
+  W -- no --> F
+  W -- yes --> C["current = nums[left] + nums[right]"]
+  C --> Q{"current vs target"}
+  Q -- equal --> A["append triplet, skip equal neighbours, left += 1, right -= 1"]
+  A --> W
+  Q -- "current < target" --> L["left += 1 — need a bigger sum"]
+  L --> W
+  Q -- "current > target" --> R["right -= 1 — need a smaller sum"]
+  R --> W
+```
+
+- `flowchart TD`, two-space indent, one edge per line, edges listed in execution
+  order (entry first, exits as soon as they are reachable).
+- **Entry** is a stadium holding the signature: `S(["threeSum(nums)"])`. **Every
+  exit** is a stadium: `E(["return result"])`, `R(["return true"])`.
+- **Statements** are rectangles `["…"]`, in the code's own identifiers and operators
+  (`left += 1`, `freq[n] = (freq[n] or 0) + 1`). Several trivial assignments may share
+  one node, comma-separated.
+- **Decisions** are diamonds `{"…?"}` with `-- yes -->` / `-- no -->` edges. A
+  three-way branch names the outcomes: `-- equal -->`, `-- "current < target" -->`
+  (quote an edge label whenever it holds `<`, `>`, or spaces around operators).
+- **Loops** are a decision: `for` → `{"more n in nums?"}`, `while` → the condition
+  verbatim `{"left < right?"}`. `-- no -->` goes to whatever follows the loop; the
+  body's last node edges back to the decision. `continue` is an edge back to the loop
+  decision (`D -- yes --> F` above); `break` is an edge to the node after the loop.
+- **Recursion** is a statement, not an expanded subgraph: `A["left = invertTree(root.left)"]`.
+  The base case is the first decision after entry.
+- **Classes** (design problems) use one `subgraph name["method(args)"]` per public
+  method, plus a `state["…"]` subgraph describing the fields, with `state --> method`
+  edges — see `(hash-table)/146-lru-cache.mdx`. Private helpers are named inside the
+  method nodes (`"_remove_node then _add_node — move it beside the tail"`), not drawn.
+- **Annotate the why with an em dash** inside the node, sparingly (one clause, a few
+  per diagram): `"nums.sort() — duplicates become adjacent"`, `"map = {0: 1} — the
+  empty prefix"`. The dash explains the invariant that makes the step correct — the
+  one thing the code does not say.
+- **Node ids**: one or two capitals, unique per diagram (`S I L Q C E R W A B`). Class
+  diagrams prefix per method (`G1`, `P1`).
+
+### Syntax rules (a diagram that breaks the page is worse than none)
+
+- Wrap **every** label in double quotes — brackets, parentheses, `<`, `>` and `|` in an
+  unquoted label break the parser.
+- Never put `"` inside a label; use `'` for string literals (`"s == ''?"`).
+- Never use `|` anywhere — not in node labels, not as `-->|text|` edge syntax; edge
+  labels are always `-- text -->`. Write `or` for a logical or.
+- Every id an edge references must be declared with a shape the first time it appears.
+- Balanced: each `subgraph` has an `end`; each fence opens ```` ```mermaid ```` and closes ```` ``` ````.
+
+### Code that does not run
+
+Trace it anyway — the diagram documents what was submitted — and put a `::::warning`
+callout **before** the fence naming exactly why it fails (`(array)/121-best-time-to-buy-and-sell-stock.mdx`):
+
+````md
+## Approach
+
+::::warning
+The diagram traces the code below literally. That code does not run: `curr` and `ans` are never initialised, so the first `curr > left` test raises `NameError`.
+::::
+
+```mermaid
+…
+```
+````
+
+Do not fix the code on the page: `## Solution` mirrors `work/1`, and the fix belongs
+there (then `bun run sync`).
+
+## Do not
+
+- Do not write prose approaches, complexity tables or alternative algorithms — the
+  section is one flowchart (plus the warning callout when the code is broken).
+- Do not touch `## Solution` or anything after it, nor the frontmatter `topics:` /
+  `video:` keys (`bun run sync` / `bun run videos --write` own them).
+- Do not add an approach to `reference/` pages or `index.mdx` — only numbered
+  solution pages (`title: 'NN. …'`) carry one.

+name: project-fields
+description: Reconcile the "Interview Prep" GitHub Project (user project #2) fields — Set and Difficulty projected from issue labels — and understand which fields the Worker mirrors vs which live only in D1. Use when asked to sync/fix/backfill Project fields, when Project columns look empty or stale, or when adding a field to the project.
+---
+
+# Interview Prep Project fields
+
+The user-level Project **"Interview Prep"** (`prdlk` project #2, id `PVT_kwHOADoNjs4BhV1a`)
+is a *board over* the issue catalog, never a source of truth. Every field is a projection
+of something owned elsewhere.
+
+## Field ownership — the rule that matters
+
+| Field | Owner | Written by |
+|---|---|---|
+| `Set` (Core/Optional/Deferred) | issue label `set:*` | `sync-project-fields`, last step of `close-solved.yml` |
+| `Difficulty` (Easy/Medium/Hard) | issue label `diff:*` | `sync-project-fields`, last step of `close-solved.yml` |
+| `Target Date` | D1 `next_review` | Worker mirror, per log (`apps/api/src/mirror.ts`) |
+| `Status`, `Labels`, `Milestone`, `Parent issue`, … | GitHub built-ins | GitHub |
+
+**SRS stage and first-attempt result are deliberately NOT Project fields.** They live only
+in D1; the charts, digest and `/api/stats` read them from there. Duplicating them into
+Project single-selects bought nothing but drift and two extra writes per log. Do not re-add
+them to the project, and do not re-add `setStage`/`setFirstAttempt` to `mirror.ts`.
+
+## Reconciling Set / Difficulty
+
+`apps/cli/sync-project-fields.ts` recomputes every desired value from the issue labels and
+writes only what differs — same reconcile-don't-react shape as `close-solved`.
+
+**In CI it runs itself.** It is the final step of `.github/workflows/close-solved.yml`, so
+any push under `work/` reconciles the board along with the issues and D1. The step is
+`continue-on-error: true` and skips cleanly when `PROJECT_PAT` is unset — D1 and the issues
+are the truth, so a Project failure must never fail a run that already closed issues and
+logged the solve. It honours the workflow's `dry_run` input via `DRY_RUN=true`.
+
+Run it by hand when issues changed without a `work/` push (e.g. you just filed a problem
+issue, or relabelled one):
+
+```sh
+# needs a token with the `project` scope — neither `gh auth token` nor GITHUB_TOKEN has it.
+export GH_TOKEN=$(grep '^GH_PAT=' apps/api/.dev.vars | cut -d= -f2-)
+
+bun run sync-project-fields -- --dry-run   # or DRY_RUN=1|true; prints the table, writes nothing
+bun run sync-project-fields                # apply
+bun run sync-project-fields                # re-run: must report 0 writes
+```
+
+Invariants the script holds — preserve them in any edit:
+
+- **Only `problem`-labelled items are touched.** Topic, cadence and review issues have no
+  set/difficulty; they are skipped, never written and never cleared.
+- **Idempotent.** A second run reports `0 field value(s)`. That re-run *is* the verification.
+- **Labels are truth.** Never "fix" a field by hand in the UI — fix the label, then reconcile.
+  A hand-edited field is silently reverted on the next run.
+- **Fields and options resolve by NAME**, so re-creating a field in the UI doesn't strand a
+  dead id. A missing field or option is a hard error, not a silent skip.
+- **A problem missing a `set:`/`diff:` label** warns and is left untouched (it means the
+  issue is mislabelled — fix it with the `campaign-issues` skill).
+
+## Auth gotcha
+
+Project v2 needs the `project` scope. The local `gh` login has only
+`gist, read:org, repo, workflow`, so **any** `gh project`/GraphQL project call fails with
+the default token. Use the Worker's `GH_PAT` from `apps/api/.dev.vars` via `GH_TOKEN`
+(never echo it). Symptom of the wrong token: `Resource not accessible by personal access
+token` or an empty `projectsV2.nodes`.
+
+## Inspecting the project
+
+```sh
+export GH_TOKEN=$(grep '^GH_PAT=' apps/api/.dev.vars | cut -d= -f2-)
+
+# fields + single-select options
+gh api graphql -f owner=prdlk -f title="Interview Prep" -f query='
+query($owner: String!, $title: String!) {
+  user(login: $owner) { projectsV2(first: 10, query: $title) { nodes { id title number
+    items(first: 1) { totalCount }
+    fields(first: 30) { nodes {
+      ... on ProjectV2FieldCommon { id name dataType }
+      ... on ProjectV2SingleSelectField { options { id name } } } } } } }
+}' --jq '.data.user.projectsV2.nodes[] | select(.title=="Interview Prep")
+         | .fields.nodes[] | "\(.name)\t\(.dataType)\t\((.options // []) | map(.name) | join(","))"'
+```
+
+Writes use `updateProjectV2ItemFieldValue` with
+`value: { singleSelectOptionId: … }` (dates use `{ date: "YYYY-MM-DD" }`); clearing uses
+`clearProjectV2ItemFieldValue`. An item id is *not* an issue number — resolve it from the
+project's `items` connection (or the issue's `projectItems`), as `mirror.ts` does.
+
+## Adding a new projected field
+
+1. Create the field + options in the Project UI.
+2. Add it to the `FIELDS` table in `apps/cli/sync-project-fields.ts` — one entry mapping
+   label → option name. Nothing else needs to change; resolution, diffing, dry-run and
+   reporting are generic over that table.
+3. Dry-run, apply, re-run to prove idempotency.
+
+If the new field's truth lives in **D1** rather than a label, it belongs in the Worker
+mirror instead (`apps/api/src/mirror.ts`) — but read the ownership rule above first and
+default to *not* mirroring.
+
+## Known trap
+
+`resolve()` in `mirror.ts` throws if a field it asks for is absent, *before* caching
+`info` — so one missing field breaks **every** mirrored write, including `Target Date`,
+and only as a `console.warn`. If Target Date silently stops updating, check that every
+field `resolve()` looks up still exists in the project.

 ## Project Overview
 
-LeetCode interview-prep campaign (8 weeks, 2026-08-17 → Oct 11) run as a repo: solution files under `work/`, a Blume docs site under `apps/docs/`, GitHub Actions that reconcile issues and publish docs, and a Cloudflare Worker (`apps/api/`) that runs the spaced-repetition system (SRS) — daily digest email, one-tap logging, weekly review issues, live charts. Issues model the curriculum: ~24 `topic` issues own ~161 `problem` sub-issues (`set:core|optional|deferred`, `diff:*`); milestones are phases; a user-level GitHub Project ("Interview Prep", #2) mirrors review state.

 - **Reconcile, don't react.** `close-solved.ts`, `close-topics.ts`, and the Worker's catalog sync recompute desired state from scratch each run: re-runs are no-ops, backfills need no special casing, closing is one-directional. `close-solved` posts its *whole* implemented set to `/admin/solved`, not just the issues it closed this run.
-- **Solving has three doors, one write path.** A digest one-tap, a `/done` comment, and a solution landing in `work/` all end in `logAttempt()`. Closing an issue is *not* one of them: the catalog reconcile never reads issue state, so a `work/` push that skipped the email would otherwise leave `stage='new'` — invisible to the charts, the digest's solved ticks, and the drill/gate pools. Hence `/admin/solved` (`source='commit'`, first solve only, no index needed for idempotency: it refuses any problem past stage `new`). `close-topics` needs no such call — D1 stores no topic completion, only problem rows.
+- **Solving has three doors, one write path.** A digest one-tap, a `/done` comment, and a solution landing in `work/` all end in `logAttempt()`. Closing an issue is *not* one of them: the catalog reconcile never reads issue state, so a `work/` push that skipped the email would otherwise leave `stage='new'` — invisible to the charts, the digest's solved ticks, and the drill/gate pools. Hence `/admin/solved`, which takes `{lc, bucket}` pairs (`source='commit'`): the bucket names the rung the file settles — `work/1` settles `new`, `work/3` settles `+3`, `work/7` settles `+7` — so a pushed re-solve advances the ladder instead of vanishing, and re-posting the whole implemented set writes nothing because the rung named has already been left behind. That stage check is the entire idempotency mechanism; no index, no dedupe table, no state file. `close-topics` needs no such call — D1 stores no topic completion, only problem rows.
+- **The rest day is structural, not cosmetic.** Sunday is never booked: topics run Mon–Fri (`apps/api/data/schedule.json`), the gate is Saturday, and the ladder's windows are 3 and 7 precisely because those return a solve to a working day. Every scheduled date — ladder review, levelled overflow, deferred-Hard release, review-issue window — comes out of `workingDay()` in `apps/api/src/srs.ts`, which slides the one exception (a Thursday solve's `+3`) forward to Monday. Forward, never back: a review may slip later than its interval, never shorten it. Never mint a scheduled date with bare `addDays()`, and never "fix" a Sunday landing downstream — the digest's Sunday rest branch is a courtesy, not the mechanism. `apps/api/src/srs.test.ts` sweeps the campaign calendar to keep this honest.
+- **One schedule, one answer to "what is open today".** D1's ladder IS the schedule; `dueToday()` (`POST /admin/due`) is its read side and `DUE_WHERE` is the single SQL definition of "due", shared by the digest, the review issue and the docs queue chart. `spaced-repetition.yml` renders that answer into today's `Spaced Repetition — <Month D, YYYY>` issue — grouped by rung, `WINDOW_CAP` (3) required per rung with the overflow listed as optional, keyed by the ET date in the title so a re-run rewrites one body. It schedules nothing, stores nothing, and writes nothing on Sunday. Without `SRS_ADMIN_KEY` it FAILS rather than inventing a second schedule from issue close dates — that reconstruction was the drift, and it is gone. NEVER add a JSON state file (`.github/problems.json` and friends) or a second "when is this due" rule: D1 answers it, with one writer (`logAttempt`) and git-free history in `attempts`.
+- **The picker owns the local review loop; the buckets are its state.** `work/` holds three buckets (`1` = first solve, `3`/`7` = blind re-solves, named after the ladder rungs) and `bun run pick` has three sections — Tab cycles them. Pools are reconciled from the filesystem plus one `git log` (`apps/cli/work.ts`): a first solve dates from the ET date of the commit that added its `work/1` file — the same push that closes the problem issue and starts the +3/+7 windows — and a window stops being owed the moment its bucket holds a file. Uncapped, unlike the review issue's `WINDOW_CAP`: that issue is one day's assignment, the picker is everything still owed. An empty scaffold under `work/1` owes nothing (it is unsolved), which is why `isImplemented()` lives in `apps/cli/source.ts` and is shared with `close-solved.ts`. leetcode-cli reads its output directory from `~/.leetcode/workspaces/<active>/config.json` and nowhere else — no flag, no env var — so `pick.ts` MERGES `workDir` into that file around the child (never replays saved bytes: the CLI owns the file too) and leaves it pointed at `work/1`, then treats the scaffold's existence as the acceptance test, since leetcode-cli exits 0 even when an expired session made it write nothing. The picker itself writes no state: pushing the re-solve is what moves the ladder, via `close-solved` → `/admin/solved` with that file's bucket.
 - **The README charts are live, never committed.** They are Worker endpoints reading D1 per request (`Cache-Control: max-age=300`, honored by GitHub Camo), so a solved push moves them within ~5 minutes with no commit and no workflow of their own.
-- **D1 owns SRS state; GitHub issues own the catalog; `apps/api/data/schedule.json` owns the calendar.** The catalog reconcile never invents rows and never overwrites SRS columns (`stage`, `next_review`). Project fields (`Target Date`, `SRS Stage`, `First Attempt`) are a best-effort mirror (`apps/api/src/mirror.ts`): failures are warnings, never lost D1 writes; topic rows' `Target Date` is never written.
+- **D1 owns SRS state; GitHub issues own the catalog; `apps/api/data/schedule.json` owns the calendar.** The catalog reconcile never invents rows and never overwrites SRS columns (`stage`, `next_review`). `Target Date` is the *only* Project field the Worker mirrors (`apps/api/src/mirror.ts`): failures are warnings, never lost D1 writes; topic rows' `Target Date` is never written. SRS stage and first-attempt result live **only** in D1 — do not re-add them as Project fields. The Project's `Set`/`Difficulty` single-selects are a projection of the issue labels, reconciled by `bun run sync-project-fields` — a best-effort final step of `close-solved.yml`, never the Worker.
+- **The plan names days; the samplers fill the gaps.** `apps/api/data/schedule.json` maps a date to a `ScheduledDay` (`apps/api/src/srs.ts`): `topics` (one or more topic issues — a doubled day lists two, and the digest renders each with its core list then the optional "if time" list), `problems` (a set day: fixed numbers, rendered like a topic), `gate` (Saturday's blind set, verbatim — `createReviewIssue` refuses to create the issue if any number is not a catalog row, so gate problems must exist as `set:optional` sub-issues of their topic first), or `sweep` (every problem whose last attempt failed, taps to re-log, no drills). Every number a `gate` or `problems` entry names is in `RESERVED`, and the drill/gate samplers never draw it — that is what keeps a planned gate problem unseen until its Saturday. Dates absent from the plan still get the ladder's reviews and drills; a Saturday without a `gate` entry falls back to sampling this week's optional pools.
 - **Determinism = idempotency.** Drill/gate sampling uses a seeded PRNG (`rng()` in `apps/api/src/srs.ts`, FNV-1a → mulberry32, seed = date / ISO week); the digest is keyed by ET date in `email_log`; one-tap links are unique on (problem, date, kind).
 - **DST-proof crons:** each event has two UTC crons; code fires only on the computed ET hour (`etHour`), unit-checked in `apps/api/src/srs.test.ts`.
 - **Chained workflows:** `GITHUB_TOKEN`-driven issue closes fire no `issues` events, so `close-topics.yml` chains off `workflow_run` of Close Solved instead. The Worker's webhook uses its own `GH_PAT`, so its events flow normally.
+- **One "finished topic" rule, two consumers.** `apps/cli/topics.ts` (`coreSet()`: every `set:core` sub-issue closed, zero core = never) is read by `close-topics.ts` (closes the topic issue) and `release-topics.ts` (the `release` job of `close-solved.yml`). The release reads the sub-issues, not the topic issue, so the push that finishes a topic releases it in the same run instead of waiting for Close Topics to chain after it. Version = [timever](https://gist.github.com/twolfson/de1b004dd22536b8e668) (`YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS.NNNNNNNNN`, UTC) of the instant the last core problem closed; the tag is annotated and backdated to that instant, on the last first-parent main commit before it; the body is a changelog snapshot at that instant (a one-sentence summary first — Blume's changelog makes it the page's meta description — then closed on the finish day / earlier / open at release, with solution links at the tag). A release is found by its `<!-- release-topics: #N -->` body marker, never by tag name, so re-closing a core problem never mints a second one; an existing release keeps its tag and has its name (the topic title) and body rewritten whenever the render changes. The docs `/changelog` is these releases (`githubReleases` in `apps/docs/blume.config.ts`, fetched at build with `GITHUB_TOKEN`), dated by the timever tag, not `published_at` (which the API cannot backdate): `releasesDatedByTag` rewrites each timever release's `published_at` before Blume maps it, via `custom(githubReleasesSource(…))` because the config-level `githubReleases()` takes no `fetchImpl`. Changing the tag format breaks the changelog dates.
 
 ## Key Directories
 
 | Path | Purpose |
 |---|---|
-| `work/<Difficulty>/<Category>/<num>.<slug>.{js,py}` | Solutions, e.g. `work/Easy/Array/1.two-sum.py`. Machine-parsed header comment (title / `Difficulty:` / URL / `─` rule / statement) — preserve its exact shape |
+| `work/<1\|3\|7>/<Difficulty>/<Category>/<num>.<slug>.{js,py}` | Solutions, e.g. `work/1/Easy/Array/1.two-sum.py`. The top directory is the spaced-repetition bucket: `1` = first solve, `3`/`7` = the blind re-solves of that problem 3 and 7 days later. Machine-parsed header comment (title / `Difficulty:` / URL / `─` rule / statement) — preserve its exact shape |
 | `apps/cli/` | Flat Bun TS workspace: automation entries (shebang + top-level await) and libraries (no shebang, side-effect-free on import). Root `bun run` scripts delegate here |
-| `apps/docs/` | Blume site (`blume.config.ts`, `content/`, `islands/`, `public/`). `content/(<category>)/<num>-<slug>.mdx` generated by sync |
-| `apps/api/` | Cloudflare Worker workspace: `src/` modules, `data/schedule.json` (day → topic issue, human-edited, bundled at deploy), `migrations/`, `scripts/import-srs.ts` |
-| `.github/workflows/` | deploy (docs → Pages, Worker → Cloudflare, on every main push), close-solved (issues + `/admin/solved`, needs `SRS_ADMIN_KEY`), close-topics, sync-d1 (issue edits → `/admin/reconcile`) |
+| `apps/docs/` | Blume site (`blume.config.ts`, `content/`, `components/` + `components.ts`, `islands/`, `public/`). `content/(0N-<phase>)/<topic>/<num>-<slug>.mdx` plus one `meta.ts` per phase and per topic folder, all generated by sync (a phase's once, then hand-owned): the phase folder is a `(group)` (sidebar section, no route segment), the topic folder is the README campaign topic slug (`tree-dfs/`, `heap-priority-queue/`) and a real route segment (`/tree-dfs/invert-binary-tree`), the `meta.ts` files carry the exact labels, phase/topic numbers and icons so the sidebar reads in curriculum order with each topic a collapsible group. A problem page's badge row (between the description and the body) is rendered, not written: the MDX `wrapper` (`components/ProblemBadges.astro`, registered as `mdx.wrapper` in `components.ts` — Blume's page template renders the title and description itself with no slot before the body, so the wrapper, which MDX hands no route, reads it off `Astro.url`) reads the page's `topics:` (LeetCode's topic tags, from sync) and `video:` (NeetCode YouTube id, from `bun run videos`) frontmatter — both declared via `frontmatter.extend` in `blume.config.ts`, hand-rolled Standard Schemas, no zod — and links a tag the campaign teaches to its topic landing page (accent), any other tag to its guide page `/guides/<slug>` (neutral; LeetCode's problem list if the guide is gone), and the video as a red `Explanation` badge. The reverse direction is the `PageFooter` slot (`components/BacklinksList.astro`): an Obsidian-style `<num> <name>` list under every topic landing and guide page of the problems whose badges link there, plus a topic's own folder members (so a topic no tag names, `hybrid-structures`, still lists its problems), in a native `<details>` open on load whose top-right chevron collapses it (no JS); problem pages are recognised by their `<num>. <name>` title and render no list. Which tags the campaign teaches is ONE map, `apps/docs/topic-landings.ts` (tag slug → landing routes), and where a badge points is ONE function beside it, `tagTarget()` — read by both components (so badges and backlinks cannot disagree) and the map by sync. `content/guides/` (the `Guides` header tab) is one page per tag outside that map, filed by hand into `(group)` categories — `(1-data-structures)/`, `(2-algorithms)/`, `(3-techniques)/` (hand-written `meta.ts` each; no route segment, so every guide stays `/guides/<slug>`). Sync finds a guide by slug anywhere under `guides/` and creates a placeholder only when none exists or it is empty — at the `guides/` root, for you to file into a category and give a Lucide `icon:` that no topic uses (not a `TOPIC_ICONS` value — sync warns on a collision — and, by convention, not one any other page uses either) — and after that owns exactly one key of it: `sidebar.badge`, the sidebar count, rewritten every run to the guide's backlink count (problem pages carrying the tag — equal to the `BacklinksList` rows, since a guide's tag has no landing; dropped at zero). Everything else is hand-owned (a guide whose tag no page carries any more is left alone, badge dropped), with frontmatter `list:` — the tag's LeetCode problem list, rendered by the same wrapper as an orange `LeetCode list` badge; sync also writes `guides/meta.ts`. A hand-written `(0N-<phase>)/<topic>/index.mdx` (`hidden: true`) is that topic's landing page: Blume ≥ 1.7.3 links the sidebar group row to it (`sliding-window/index.mdx` → `/sliding-window`) and the hidden flag drops the duplicate row. Two kinds of custom MDX component, both import-free on every page: `islands/<Name>.tsx` is hydrated React (auto-discovered; `ProgressDashboard`, `DependencySpine` — the README topic map as data, zoom/pan, nodes link to whatever route Blume's `/api/docs/navigation.json` reports for the topic folder, inert until a topic has pages), `components/<Name>.astro` registered in `components.ts` is static markup plus a custom element for behaviour, the way Blume's own `Frame` is built (`Carousel`/`CarouselImage`: `src` takes a URL, `/file.png`, or the page-relative `../../public/file.png`) |
+| `apps/api/` | Cloudflare Worker workspace: `src/` modules, `data/schedule.json` (the plan: `date → { topics | problems | gate | sweep }`, human-edited, bundled at deploy), `migrations/` (append-only; `0002` is the +3/+7 ladder rebuild) |
+| `.github/workflows/` | deploy (docs → Pages with `GITHUB_TOKEN` for the releases-backed changelog, Worker → Cloudflare, on every main push), close-solved (issues + `/admin/solved` + Project `Set`/`Difficulty`, needs `SRS_ADMIN_KEY` and `PROJECT_PAT`; then the `release` job: timever tag + release per finished topic, `contents: write`), close-topics, sync-d1 (issue edits → `/admin/reconcile`), spaced-repetition (daily 06:00 ET cron → today's review issue; `GITHUB_TOKEN` only, no secrets) |
+| `.githooks/` | Tracked git hooks; `bun install` points `core.hooksPath` here (root `prepare` script, no husky). `pre-commit` runs `bun run sync` and stages only what sync changed (pages, `apps/docs/redirects.ts`), so a solution, its page and its `/<num>` short link land in one commit; it refuses to run while `work/1` has anything unstaged (sync reads the tree, so the page would not match the commit), and leaves pre-existing dirt under `apps/docs/content` (in-progress `## Approach` prose) unstaged. `git commit --no-verify` for a deliberate partial commit |

 - `apps/api/src/digest.ts` / `apps/api/src/email.tsx` — the daily digest, split data/presentation. `digest.ts` reads D1 into a `DigestData`; `email.tsx` owns every colour and every sentence, and renders both the HTML and (via its own `plainDigest`, not React Email's `plainText` mode, which flattens the tables) the text alternative. The retrieval rules hold by construction: `DigestRow` has no title and no issue field, so a review or drill line *cannot* leak the topic or a solution link. Subject is `(Day N/56) LeetCode Daily Digest`.
 - `apps/api/src/png.ts` — hand-rolled PNG encoder (RGB8, one IDAT, zlib via `CompressionStream("deflate")`, CRC32, 5×7 bitmap font). It exists because every major email client refuses remote SVG, so `/chart/heatmap.png` rasters the heatmap for the digest while `/chart/heatmap.svg` keeps serving the README byte-for-byte. Both come from one `heatmapCells()` so the two pictures cannot drift.
-- `apps/cli/sync.ts` — work→docs contract: only `## Solution` onward is script-owned on existing pages; human prose is never touched; never hand-write solution pages or edit inside `## Solution`.
+- `apps/cli/sync.ts` — work→docs contract: on existing pages only the frontmatter `icon:` and the `## Solution` section are regenerated, and `topics:` (LeetCode's `topicTags` as `{ name, slug }`, fetched by GraphQL) is filled once — on create, or on any run that finds it missing — never refreshed (delete the key to refetch; offline, the page is written without it and the next sync retries). `## Solution` is the latter bounded by `solutionEnd()` at the next unfenced top-level heading; human prose before it and any sections after it are never touched. Never hand-write solution pages or edit inside `## Solution`. Two classifications, two homes: the sidebar group is the README topic (`readmeTopics()`, first listing wins for a problem under two topics; a warm-up outside the plan groups under its category at `order: 0`, ahead of topic 1) and the `work/1/<Difficulty>/<Category>/` category, which only places an unplanned problem — the page's topic badges are LeetCode's tags, not either classification. Topics nest under their README phase (`## Phase N — Name` headings, shortened via `PHASE_ALIASES`): `content/(0N-<phase>)/<topic>/`. The topic `meta.ts` is script-owned and rewritten every run (label, curriculum order, `TOPIC_ICONS` icon, `display: "group"`); the phase `meta.ts` is written once when missing (`Phase N: Name`, `order: N`) and hand-owned after — rename its title freely. Never rewriting it loses nothing: its order and name are also the folder name, so a README change to either lands in a new folder with a fresh meta. The phase folder is a Blume `(group)` — no route segment, so `/tree-dfs` is unchanged and a landing page there is one level deep, never at `/` — and the topic folder is the real segment; never put a topic `index.mdx` directly inside a `(group)`. A page is `rename`d when its topic or phase changes; a folder every page has left is deleted (climbing into an emptied phase folder) unless it still holds a hand-written `index.mdx` (sync never writes, moves, or deletes one — so page-relative asset paths in a moved landing page are yours to fix). Slugs come from `slugify()`, which glues a leading number to the next token (`1d-dynamic-programming`) because Blume strips `<digits>-` prefixes from routes. The hand-owned parts have their own owners: `## Approach` (a Mermaid flowchart tracing the page's code, placed *before* `## Solution` so a re-sync keeps it) is written per the `problem-approach` skill (`/problem-approach` fills every page missing one); the frontmatter `video:` (the NeetCode walkthrough, rendered as the red `Explanation` badge) is added by `bun run videos --write` (`apps/cli/videos.ts`).
+- `apps/cli/work.ts` — the `work/` layout: bucket paths, `isSolution()`/`solvedInBucket()` (the stub test, shared with `close-solved.ts`), `firstSolved()` (one `git log`, ET dates, keyed by LC number so past layout moves don't matter), and `reviewQueues()` (what each window still owes). Everything that needs to know where a solution file lives, or when it was solved, goes through here.
+- `apps/api/src/stats.ts` / `apps/cli/stats.ts` / `apps/cli/tui.ts` / `apps/cli/api.ts` — the read side. `buildStats()` is the ONE aggregation: phases, ladder, difficulty, per-topic temperature, gates, the 14-day due queue, and `heat` (every campaign day, zeros and future days included — the docs page windows the tail off it rather than asking a second question). Two readers consume it, the docs island and `bun run stats`, so its shape is both their contract: change all three together. `tui.ts` is hand-rolled ANSI (bars, sparklines, heat cells, alternate screen) on charts.ts's palette, and every chart differs by GLYPH as well as by colour so a piped or `NO_COLOR` dashboard still reads. The TUI recomputes nothing: the only local fact it shows is the `work/` solution count, which is inventory, not schedule.
 - `README.md` live charts are Worker endpoints (`/chart/*.svg`, `/badge/gate.svg`, 5-min Camo cache); the docs `/progress` page fetches `/api/stats` client-side (`apps/docs/islands/ProgressDashboard.tsx`).
-- `apps/docs/blume.config.ts` — site base `/leetcode`; `README.md` campaign table doubles as topic-map input to `sync.ts` (`readmeTopics()`, `TOPIC_ALIASES`).
-- Old `.github/srs/` JSON state and the `srs-*` Actions are RETIRED — do not resurrect; `apps/api/scripts/import-srs.ts` documents the migration.
+- `apps/docs/blume.config.ts` — site base `/leetcode`; imports `apps/docs/redirects.ts`, sync-generated (`/<num>` → `/<topic>/<slug>`, one row per page, exact root-relative paths — Blume adds the base and, for the static Pages build, emits a meta-refresh page per rule plus `blume-redirects.json`); `README.md` campaign table doubles as topic-map input to `sync.ts` (`readmeTopics()`, `TOPIC_ALIASES`, `PHASE_ALIASES`).
+- Old `.github/srs/` JSON state, its `srs-*` Actions, and the one-shot `import-srs.ts` importer are RETIRED and deleted — do not resurrect; git history is the record.
 
 ## Runtime/Tooling Preferences
 
 - **Bun only**: run scripts with `bun apps/cli/<name>.ts` (or the root `bun run` aliases), install with `bun install --frozen-lockfile`. One workspace (`apps/*`), one root `bun.lock`. Node 22 appears only in `deploy.yml` because Blume requires it.
-- **No root tsconfig, no ESLint, no Prettier** — match surrounding style by hand. `apps/api/` has a strict `tsconfig.json`; `Env` types are generated (`bunx wrangler types`), never hand-written.
-- **Near-zero runtime npm dependencies** — SVG, PNG, HMAC (WebCrypto), GraphQL are hand-rolled; Actions scripts use Bun builtins + `fetch` only. The **one** exception is the digest email: `apps/api/src/email.tsx` renders React Email (`react`, `react-dom`, `@react-email/components`, `@react-email/render`) inside the Worker, because hand-rolling table-based email HTML that survives Gmail *and* Outlook is not worth owning. It costs ~235 KB gzipped of a 3 MB budget, needs no `nodejs_compat` (it resolves to `renderToReadableStream`), and requires `"jsx": "react-jsx"` in `apps/api/tsconfig.json`. Do not extend this exception to any other module.

+ *
+ * "Finished" is topics.ts's rule — every core sub-issue closed — the same one
+ * close-topics.ts closes the topic issue on, and the version is the instant
+ * the LAST core problem closed. Keying off the sub-issues rather than the
+ * topic issue lets this run as the tail of Close Solved: the push that closes
+ * a topic's final core problem releases it in the same run, without waiting
+ * for close-topics to chain after it. The topic issue itself closes seconds
+ * later, on the same day.
+ *
+ * Each release is a changelog snapshot at that instant: the topic's problem
+ * sub-issues grouped as closed on the finish day (ET), closed earlier, and
+ * open at release, each with its set, difficulty, and the solution files as
+ * they stood in the tagged commit — the last main commit before the finish.
+ *
+ * The tag is annotated and backdated (tagger date = finish), so
+ * `git tag --sort=taggerdate` reads as the campaign's history even for tags
+ * minted by a backfill. The release's own published date cannot be backdated
+ * (the API has no field for it), so the docs changelog dates each entry from
+ * this timever tag instead (`releasesDatedByTag` in apps/docs/blume.config.ts)
+ * — the tag format is that contract.
+ *
+ * Reconciles instead of reacting: every finished topic without a release gets
+ * one, so a first run backfills the whole campaign; an existing release keeps
+ * its tag and commit and only has its body rewritten when render() would say
+ * something else. Re-runs with nothing new are no-ops.
+ * A release is found by the marker comment in its body, never by tag name, so
+ * reopening and re-closing a core problem can never mint a second release.
+ * A tag that exists without its release (a run that died between the two) is

+ * Sunday writes nothing: the ladder never schedules the rest day (WINDOWS of

+ *
+ * The issue labels are the truth: `set:core|optional|deferred` and
+ * `diff:easy|medium|hard` are fixed when a problem issue is filed, and the
+ * Project's single-selects are a projection of them so the board can group and
+ * filter. This recomputes every desired value from scratch and writes only the
+ * ones that differ, so re-runs are no-ops and a backfill needs no special
+ * casing — same reconcile-don't-react shape as close-solved / close-topics.
+ *
+ * Scope guard: only items whose issue carries the `problem` label are touched.
+ * Topic, cadence and review issues have no set or difficulty, so they are
+ * skipped outright — never written, never cleared.
+ *
+ * Deliberately NOT mirrored: SRS stage and first-attempt result. Those live
+ * only in D1 (apps/api owns them; the charts, digest and /api/stats read them
+ * from there). The Project mirror writes Target Date and nothing else.
+ *
+ * Auth: needs a token carrying the `project` scope — neither the default
+ * `gh auth token` nor Actions' GITHUB_TOKEN has it. Pass one in GH_TOKEN: the
+ * PROJECT_PAT secret in CI, or the Worker's GH_PAT locally:

  *   render as a plain fence.
+ * - Every page carries LeetCode's own topic tags as frontmatter `topics:`
+ *   (`{ name, slug }` per tag, LeetCode's order), fetched from the GraphQL
+ *   `topicTags` once — when the page is created, or on any later run that
+ *   finds the key missing — and never refreshed after, so a sync with nothing
+ *   new makes no request. Delete the key to refetch it. The page itself
+ *   renders no badges: the docs MDX `wrapper`
+ *   (`apps/docs/components/ProblemBadges.astro`) turns `topics:` and the
+ *   `video:` key `videos.ts` writes into the badge row under the description.
+ * - Every tag a page carries that no campaign topic teaches (not a key of
+ *   `apps/docs/topic-landings.ts`) gets a placeholder guide page,
+ *   `guides/<slug>.mdx`, with `list:` pointing at LeetCode's problem list for
+ *   the tag. Created once (a missing or empty file), then hand-owned except
+ *   for `sidebar.badge`, which sync keeps at the guide's backlink count (the
+ *   problem pages carrying the tag; dropped at zero); the tag's badge on a
+ *   problem page links to it. A guide may be filed into a category `(group)`
+ *   folder (e.g. `guides/(2-algorithms)/`) — no route segment, so
+ *   `/guides/<slug>` holds — and is found there by slug; a new placeholder
+ *   lands at the `guides/` root for a human to file (and give an `icon:`).
+ *
+ * The sidebar group is the campaign TOPIC from the README table (`tree-dfs/`,
+ * ordered by topic number via a script-owned `meta.ts`). A problem outside the
+ * plan (warm-ups) has no topic, so it groups under the data-structure CATEGORY
+ * its file sits under in `work/1/<Difficulty>/<Category>/` instead.
+ *
+ * Topics nest under their README PHASE: `(01-linear-structures)/tree-dfs/`.
+ * The phase folder is a Blume `(group)` — a sidebar section adding no route
+ * segment — while the topic folder is a real segment
+ * (`/tree-dfs/invert-binary-tree`), so a hand-written `index.mdx` in it is the
+ * topic's landing page at `/tree-dfs` and Blume links the sidebar group row to
+ * it. Sync never writes or moves an `index.mdx`, and never removes a folder
+ * that still holds one. A phase folder's `meta.ts` is written once, when
+ * missing, then hand-owned (its title is yours to rename); a topic's is
+ * script-owned. An unplanned category group has no phase and sits at the
+ * content root.
+ *
+ * Only the first-solve bucket is read: work/3 and work/7 hold blind re-solves
+ * of problems whose page already exists (see work.ts), and a fresh scaffold
+ * there would otherwise wipe the page's `## Solution`.
+ *
+ * Every page also gets a short link: `/<num>` → `/<topic>/<slug>` (so
+ * `/leetcode/217` opens Contains Duplicate). The rules live in the generated
+ * `apps/docs/redirects.ts`, which `blume.config.ts` imports — Blume takes exact
+ * root-relative paths and prepends the deployment base itself.

+### Example 1:
+- Input: `target = 12, position = [10,8,0,5,3], speed = [2,4,1,1,3]`
+- Output: `3`
+- Explanation: • The cars starting at `10 (speed 2`) and `8 (speed 4`) become a fleet, meeting each other at `12`. The fleet forms at `target`. • The car starting at `0 (speed 1`) does not catch up to any other car, so it is a fleet by itself. • The cars starting at `5 (speed 1`) and `3 (speed 3`) become a fleet, meeting each other at `6`. The fleet moves at `speed 1` until it reaches `target`.
+
+### Example 2:
+- Input: `target = 10, position = [3], speed = [3]`
+- Output: `1`
+- Explanation: There is only one car, hence there is only one fleet.
+
+### Example 3:
+- Input: `target = 100, position = [0,2,4], speed = [4,2,1]`
+- Output: `1`
+- Explanation: • The cars starting at `0 (speed 4`) and `2 (speed 2`) become a fleet, meeting each other at `4`. The car starting at `4 (speed 1`) travels to `5`. • Then, the fleet at `4 (speed 2`) and the car at `position 5 (speed 1`) become one fleet, meeting each other at `6`. The fleet moves at `speed 1` until it reaches `target`.
