// Extended Euclid Modular Inverse in JavaScript
//
// PURPOSE
// Extended Euclid tracks a Bezout coefficient while computing the gcd. When gcd(a,m)=1, that
// coefficient is the modular inverse.
//
// METHOD
// Maintain consecutive remainders and coefficients. Update both with the Euclidean quotient;
// normalize the resulting coefficient into [0,m).
//
// COMPLEXITY
// O(log m) arithmetic steps and O(1) auxiliary space.
//
// CONTRACT
// 0 <= a < modulus, 2 <= modulus <= 10000. Returns -1 if no inverse exists. This bounded
// integer implementation is not constant time or suitable for cryptographic secrets.
// 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.
