Count articulation points

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresSenior–Staff~30 min

Given an undirected graph with n nodes (0..n-1) and a list of edges [u, v], count the number of articulation points (cut vertices): vertices whose removal increases the number of connected components. Handle the DFS-root special case correctly (a root is an articulation point iff it has more than one DFS child). Assume 1 <= n <= 10000; the graph may be disconnected.

Implement
count_articulation_points(n: int, edges: list[list[int]]) → int

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.
