// Fenwick Point Add in C
//
// PURPOSE
// A point addition updates only Fenwick partial sums containing that position.
//
// METHOD
// Convert the zero-based position to one-based, add delta, then repeatedly move to the
// parent by adding the lowest set bit.
//
// COMPLEXITY
// O(log n) time and O(1) auxiliary space.
//
// CONTRACT
// tree is an existing one-based Fenwick tree of length n+1. 0<=index<n. Mutates tree and
// returns 0. Sums must fit.
// Public APIs infer array lengths except in C, which accepts pointer/length pairs. Vertex
// counts and matrix dimensions remain explicit. Arrays must contain signed 32-bit integers.
// Sorted order, correct tree topology, and caller-owned data-structure invariants are
// preconditions; checking them on every query would change query complexity.
// Scalar and shape checks are included. Value-range checks are included where needed to
// prevent invalid indexing or nontermination. Allocation sizes are capped at 4,000,000
// workspace entries. Arithmetic outside Python raises an error on 32-bit overflow; Python
// uses arbitrary precision. Native allocation failures propagate. In-place outputs may be
// partly updated after arithmetic failure. These are single-threaded, in-memory
// implementations.
//
// LANGUAGE DETAILS
// C99: checked calloc/free workspace, const input pointers, explicit size_t lengths. Errors
// return INT_MIN with errno=EINVAL, ERANGE, or ENOMEM. Check errno before using a result.
// Input/output arrays must not alias. No variable-length stack arrays.
//
// EXAMPLE
// Expected return: 0.
// Expected tree after call: [0, 1, 8, 3, 15].
// Run: gcc -std=c99 -O2 example.c -o example && ./example
// Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source
// archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes.
