29/// The Open Shop Scheduling problem.
30///
31/// Given `m` machines and `n` jobs, where job `j` has one task on each machine
32/// `i` with processing time `p[j][i]`, find a non-preemptive schedule that
33/// minimizes the makespan. Unlike flow-shop or job-shop scheduling, there is no
34/// prescribed order for the tasks of a given job — each job's tasks may be
35/// processed on the machines in any order.
36///
37/// # Constraints
38///
39/// 1. **Machine constraint:** Each machine processes at most one job at a time.
40/// 2. **Job constraint:** Each job occupies at most one machine at a time.
41///
42/// # Configuration Encoding
43///
44/// The configuration is a flat array of `n * m` values.
45/// `config[i * n .. (i + 1) * n]` gives the permutation of jobs on machine `i`
46/// (direct job indices, not Lehmer code). A segment is valid iff it is a
47/// permutation of `0..n`. Invalid configs return `Min(None)`.
48///
49/// # Example
50///
51/// ```
52/// use problemreductions::models::misc::OpenShopScheduling;
53/// use problemreductions::{Problem, Solver, BruteForce};
54/// use problemreductions::types::Min;
55///
56/// // 2 machines, 2 jobs
57/// let p = vec![vec![1, 2], vec![2, 1]];
58/// let problem = OpenShopScheduling::new(2, p);
59/// let solver = BruteForce::new();
60/// let value = Solver::solve(&solver, &problem);
61/// assert_eq!(value, Min(Some(3)));
