Summary
This PR adds a pure-Python implementation of the A (A-star) pathfinding algorithm that works over arbitrary graphs via a neighbors(node) callback and an admissible heuristic h(node, goal). The module includes comprehensive docstrings, type hints, and doctests showing usage on a 4-connected grid with Manhattan distance. The implementation tracks g (cost-so-far), uses a min-heap priority queue for f = g + h, and reconstructs the optimal path via a parent map.*
