"""
Smoothsort algorithm implementation.
Smoothsort is an adaptive, in-place comparison sort invented by Edsger W. Dijkstra.
It runs in O(n log n) worst-case and degrades gracefully to O(n) for nearly sorted data.
It uses a forest of Leonardo heaps to achieve this adaptive behaviour.

"""
Restore the max-heap property within a Leonardo tree of the given ``order``.
Sifts ``seq[root]`` downward until the subtree satisfies the Leonardo
max-heap invariant: every node is >= both of its children.
Trees of order 0 or 1 are single nodes and already satisfy the invariant.
In a Leonardo tree of order k rooted at index ``root``:
- the right child root is at ``root - 1``
- the left child root is at ``root - 1 - L(k-2)``
Args:
seq: The list being sorted (mutated in-place).
root: Index of the root of the Leonardo tree to fix.
order: Leonardo order of the tree rooted at ``root``.

Sort a list in-place using the Smoothsort algorithm and return it.
Smoothsort (Edsger W. Dijkstra, 1981) is an adaptive, in-place sort
with O(n log n) worst-case time and O(n) best-case time on already-sorted
input. It improves on Heapsort by maintaining a forest of Leonardo heaps
whose structure mirrors the sorted prefix of the sequence.
Args:
seq: A list of integers to sort.
Returns:
The same list object, sorted in ascending order.
