Priority Queue problem focused on implementing an efficient solution using heaps.

AI-Expanded — inferred from the question title, not from the original candidate report

Given an array of $k$ sorted linked lists, merge them into a single sorted linked list using a min-heap to efficiently track the smallest current element across all lists. Your solution should achieve a time complexity of $O(n \log k)$, where $n$ is the total number of nodes, by maintaining the heap size at $k$ throughout the merging process.
