Insert interval

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~25 min

Given a list of non-overlapping intervals [start, end] sorted by start, insert a new interval, merging where necessary so the result stays non-overlapping and sorted. Two intervals merge if they overlap or touch at an endpoint. Return the resulting list. The input list may be empty.

Implement
insert_interval(intervals: list[list[int]], newInterval: list[int]) → list[list[int]]
Examples
in[[[1,3],[6,9]],[2,5]]out[[1,5],[6,9]]
What a strong answer looks like

State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
