/**
 * Push–Relabel (Relabel-to-Front variant simplified to array scanning) for maximum flow.
 *
 * <p>Input graph is a capacity matrix where {@code capacity[u][v]} is the capacity of the edge
 * {@code u -> v}. Capacities must be non-negative. Vertices are indexed in {@code [0, n)}.
 *
 * <p>Time complexity: O(V^3) in the worst case for the array-based variant; typically fast in
 * practice. This implementation uses a residual network over an adjacency-matrix representation.
 *
 * <p>The API mirrors {@link EdmondsKarp#maxFlow(int[][], int, int)} and {@link Dinic#maxFlow(int[][], int, int)}.
 *
