// Exercise 04 — Log Crunching: Top-N Endpoints
//
// ASSIGNMENT
// ----------
// Log lines look like:
//
// 2026-08-28T10:00:01Z GET /api/users 200 123ms
//
// Implement TopN(r, n) so that it:
//
// 1. Streams the input (must handle logs far larger than memory — no
// io.ReadAll).
// 2. Counts requests per endpoint (3rd whitespace-separated field).
// 3. Skips malformed lines (fewer than 3 fields) without failing.
// 4. Handles lines longer than 64KB (hint: bufio.Scanner's default limit).
// 5. Returns the n most frequent endpoints, most frequent first.
// Ties: order among equal counts is unspecified.
//
// Run the tests: go test -race ./04-log-topn/

// - copy map into []KV and sort by count desc (maps can't be sorted)
// - truncate to n
