Base64url decoding
Implement base64url decoding (the inverse of JWT-style encoding). Given a base64url string `s` that has had its '=' padding stripped, restore the padding, decode it, and return the original UTF-8 string. The input uses the URL-safe alphabet ('-' and '_'). An empty input decodes to an empty string. Assume the input is well-formed.

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.
