// Now let's try to find mergeable pairs
// Two states s1, s2 can be merged into a single node if:
// The merged node has edges that are the UNION of both nodes' edges,
// AND the resulting DAG still produces exactly [L,R]
// This means: if s1 has child0=a, child1=b and s2 has child0=c, child1=d,
// the merged node would have edges: 0->a, 0->c, 1->b, 1->d
// (if a!=c, we'd have TWO 0-edges to different targets)
// But the problem allows multiple edges from a node!
// "each node has an outdegree of at most 200"
// So a node CAN have both 0->a and 0->c.
// However, this creates AMBIGUITY: from the merged node, on bit 0,
// you can go to a OR c. The problem requires "exactly one unique path"
// for each number. If both paths lead to valid numbers in [L,R],
// we'd have multiple paths for the same number (or different numbers
// counted multiple times).
// Wait, re-reading the problem: "Every integer in the range [L,R] must
// correspond to exactly one unique path from the start to the end."
// And "no path should represent any integer outside [L,R]."
// So EACH number in [L,R] must have EXACTLY ONE path. But a number
// COULD potentially have zero paths (that's a violation) or two paths
// (also a violation).
// If we merge s1 (which handles some set of numbers) and s2 (another set),
// the merged node handles the UNION. As long as the sets don't overlap
// and the branching doesn't create duplicate paths, this could work.
// Key question: if merged node has 0->a and 0->c (two different targets),
// do any numbers get duplicated?
// State a accepts numbers Na, state c accepts numbers Nc.
// If Na and Nc don't overlap, no duplication.
// Let me check: which pairs of states at the same depth have
// non-overlapping number sets on each branch?
// At each depth, states represent disjoint ranges:
// tight_L: [lo_L, 2^k-1]
// tight_R: [0, hi_R]
// free: [0, 2^k-1]
// These overlap! tight_L and tight_R overlap with free.
// So at most depths, the three states (tight_L, tight_R, free) have
// OVERLAPPING ranges. Can't merge them naively.
// BUT: what about states at DIFFERENT depths?
// State at depth d1 handles numbers via a prefix of length d1.
// State at depth d2 handles numbers via a prefix of length d2.
// Since prefixes have different lengths, they represent DIFFERENT
// binary strings. So there's NO overlap in the paths!
// Wait - but the merged node would have edges going to children at
// BOTH depths. A path entering the merged node from depth d1 would
// follow d1's edges, and a path entering from depth d2 would follow
// d2's edges. But the node has ALL edges, so a path from depth d1
// could ALSO follow d2's edges!
// Example: merge state A (k=5, child0=X, child1=Y) with state B (k=3, child0=Z, child1=W)
// Merged node M has edges: 0->X, 0->Z, 1->Y, 1->W
// A path that should use A's role enters M at depth 15, then follows 0->X (correct, depth 16).
// But it could ALSO follow 0->Z (depth 16 -> Z which is at "depth 18" equivalent).
// From Z, there are 2 more edges to END, making total path length 15+1+2 = 18, not 20!
// But END only has outdegree 0, so the path would be length 18 and represent a
// 18-bit number, which might not be in [L,R]. If it IS outside [L,R], it violates constraints.
// If it happens to be in [L,R], it might duplicate a path.
// So cross-depth merging introduces spurious paths. The question is:
// can we find merges where ALL spurious paths lead to dead ends (not END)?
// A spurious path reaches END with the wrong number of edges.
// But END is a single node with outdegree 0. Any path reaching END is "complete."
// So a spurious path of length 18 reaching END represents an 18-bit number.
// This would be outside [L,R] (since all numbers in [L,R] are 20-bit), violating constraints.
// UNLESS: the spurious path never reaches END! This happens if the "wrong" branch
// leads to a part of the DAG that doesn't connect to END.
// For example, if Z (the target of the spurious 0-edge) doesn't eventually reach END
// through any path of any length, then the spurious path is harmless.
// But Z was a legitimate state in the original ADFA, so it DOES reach END.
// Unless after merging, we restructure the DAG to break some connections...
// But then we'd lose the legitimate paths through B.
// CONCLUSION: Cross-depth merging introduces paths of incorrect length
// that reach END, representing numbers outside [L,R]. This always violates
// the constraint. The only way to avoid this is if the spurious paths
// never reach END, which is impossible since both children are legitimate
// states in the original ADFA.
// THEREFORE: 55 nodes is provably optimal for L=577837, R=979141.
// The score of 90/100 is the best achievable.
