Critical path length

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~30 min

Given a DAG on n nodes (0..n-1) and a list of weighted directed edges [u, v, w] with positive integer weights, return the maximum total weight of any directed path (the critical path length). A single node with no edges contributes a path of length 0. The graph is guaranteed acyclic.

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.
