Set matrix zeros in place

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~25 min

Given an m x n integer matrix, if an element is 0, set its entire row and column to 0, in place. You must use O(1) extra space (no separate m+n marker arrays): use the first row and first column themselves as markers, tracking separately whether the first row and first column originally contained a zero. Return the modified matrix.

Implement
set_zeroes(matrix: list[list[int]]) → list[list[int]]
Examples
in[[[1,1,1],[1,0,1],[1,1,1]]]out[[1,0,1],[0,0,0],[1,0,1]]
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.
