digit-remapping-greedy-targets-positional-extremes

Status: IN

Digit remapping achieves both its minimum and maximum through a single greedy digit substitution targeting the most positionally impactful digit — the leading digit maps to 0 for minimum (maximum positional weight), the leftmost non-9 digit maps to 9 for maximum (highest available gain) — sharing the same structural principle (leftmost-significant substitution) despite targeting opposite extremes.

Justifications

Min and max remapping share the same greedy structure (single substitution at leftmost impactful position) applied to opposite targets

Depends on (SL): min-remap-always-leading-digit, max-remap-first-non-nine
