// 0-1 Knapsack in JavaScript
//
// PURPOSE
// Knapsack chooses items with maximum total value under a weight limit, using each item at
// most once. The one-dimensional table stores the best value for each capacity.
//
// METHOD
// Process items one at a time and capacities downward. Compare skipping the item with adding
// its value to the previous best at the remaining capacity. Descending capacities prevent
// reusing the current item.
//
// COMPLEXITY
// O(n * capacity) time and O(capacity) auxiliary space; pseudo-polynomial.
//
// CONTRACT
// Weights are positive, values nonnegative, capacity >= 0. Both arrays have n entries.
// Returns best value, not the chosen item set.
// 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
// Node.js 18+: Int32Array inputs and workspaces provide compact integer storage. Automatic
// lengths and checked arithmetic reject values outside signed 32-bit. Invalid inputs or
// overflow throw RangeError.
//
// EXAMPLE
// Expected return: 9.
// Run: node example.js
// Tests for this exact source artifact run before publication. The accompanying source
// archive includes unit cases, runtime results, and source hashes.
