// Egg Dropping by Number of Moves in C#
//
// PURPOSE
// Instead of trying every floor, this DP counts how many floors can be distinguished with a
// given number of moves and eggs.
//
// METHOD
// For each move, update egg counts downward using
// reachable[e]=reachable[e]+reachable[e-1]+1. Stop when the available egg count covers all
// floors.
//
// COMPLEXITY
// O(eggs * moves) time and O(eggs) space, where moves is the answer.
//
// CONTRACT
// 1<=eggs<=30, 0<=floors<=1000000. Returns the minimum worst-case number of drops.
// Reachability is capped at floors to avoid unnecessary growth.
// 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
// C# / .NET 10: ReadOnlySpan<int> inputs, Span<int> outputs, primitive workspace arrays,
// Array.BinarySearch for LIS, and checked integer arithmetic. Invalid arguments and overflow
// throw exceptions.
//
// EXAMPLE
// Expected return: 14.
// Run: Use Program.cs in a net10.0 console project; dotnet run.
// Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source
// archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes.
