Step 1 — Draft:
Write a Python function that {task}.

Step 2 — Critique:
Review your draft for:
- Edge cases not handled
- Performance issues
- Security risks
- Missing type annotations

Step 3 — Improved version:
Rewrite the function addressing all issues found in Step 2.

Output only the final improved function. No explanation.
