Earliest Unified Service Cluster
A distributed platform plans to deploy `n` independent service clusters, labeled `0` through `n - 1`. Each cluster starts fully isolated. Platform operators add bidirectional high-speed links between clusters over time. Every link is an entry `[timestamp, clusterA, clusterB]`, meaning that at exactly `timestamp`, a direct link is opened between cluster `clusterA` and cluster `clusterB`. As soon as two clusters are linked, their two connected service meshes merge into one, and that connectivity is transitive: if cluster `A` is mesh-connected to `B`, and `B` is mesh-connected to `C`, then `A`, `B`, and `C` all belong to the same mesh.
