/**
* An encapsulated, self-contained implementation of Kruskal's algorithm
* for computing the Minimum Spanning Tree (MST) of a weighted, undirected graph.
* You can find more about this algorithm in the following link:
* <a href="https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/dsa/kruskals-minimum-spanning-tree-algorithm-greedy-algo-2/">Kruskal algorithm - Geeks for Geeks</a>
* <p>
* To avoid namespace conflicts and maintain isolation within larger projects,
* all collaborators (Edge, Graph, DisjointSet) are implemented as private
* static nested classes. This ensures no type leakage outside this file while
* preserving clean internal architecture.
* </p>
*
* <h2>Usage</h2>
* <pre>
* KruskalAlgorithm algo = new KruskalAlgorithm();
* KruskalAlgorithm.Graph graph = new KruskalAlgorithm.Graph(4);
* graph.addEdge(0,1,10);
* graph.addEdge(1,2,5);
* List&lt;KruskalAlgorithm.Edge&gt; mst = algo.computeMST(graph);
* </pre>
*
* <h2>Design Notes</h2>
* <ul>
* <li>Implements a fully isolated module without risk of polluting global scope.</li>
* <li>Inner classes preserve encapsulation but keep responsibilities separate.</li>
* <li>Algorithm complexity: O(e log e), dominated by edge sorting.</li>
* </ul>
