// Fenwick Tree Linear Build in PHP
//
// PURPOSE
// A Fenwick tree stores partial sums so point additions and prefix queries take logarithmic
// time.
//
// METHOD
// Copy each value into its one-based tree position, then propagate the completed partial sum
// to its Fenwick parent. Each node is propagated only once.
//
// COMPLEXITY
// O(n) build time and O(1) auxiliary space beyond caller-owned tree.
//
// CONTRACT
// tree has n+1 entries. Overwrites tree; sums fit signed 32-bit. Build once, then reuse with
// Fenwick Point Add and Fenwick Prefix Sum.
// 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
// PHP 8.1+ on a 64-bit runtime: packed arrays, strict scalar types, read-only inputs by
// value using copy-on-write, references only for outputs, and checked 32-bit arithmetic.
// Invalid input and overflow throw exceptions. PHP arrays have higher overhead than native
// packed buffers in C/Java.
//
// EXAMPLE
// Expected return: 0.
// Expected tree after call: [0, 1, 3, 3, 10].
// Run: php example.php
// Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source
// archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes.
