Source-of-truth note
This unit is anchored to The Algorithm Design Manual and the source chapter "Chapter 7: Backtracking". Use external resources only to clarify, extend, or modernize details without replacing the chapter's conceptual spine.
External enrichment
No chapter-specific enrichment resources are curated yet. Add them in the unit manifest when a source clearly improves learning.
