Find minimum rotated sorted array

CodingAlgorithms & data structuresMid–Senior~25 min

Given a sorted array rotated at an unknown pivot (no duplicates), return its minimum element.

Implement
find_min(nums: list[int]) → int
Examples
in[[3,4,5,1,2]]out1
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.
