1. Abridged Problem Statement  
Given an undirected weighted graph with n nodes and m edges (each edge has a positive travel time). You are also given k distinct “important” nodes. It is guaranteed that there exists a shortest path in the graph between some pair of nodes that visits all k important nodes. Find any such shortest path and output the sequence of edge indices (in input order) along it.

2. Detailed Editorial  

Overview  
We must find two nodes s,t and a path P from s to t of minimum total weight, such that P visits all given k important nodes. The key insight is that this path P is itself a shortest path (in the usual sense) between its endpoints; we just don’t know which endpoints s,t form it.  

Step 1: Identify candidate endpoints  
- Pick any important node a₀.  
- Run Dijkstra from a₀ to get distances dist₁[]. Among the k important nodes, pick endpoint A as the one farthest from a₀ (max dist₁).  
- Run Dijkstra again from A to get distances dist₂[]. Among the k important nodes, pick endpoint B as the one farthest from A (max dist₂).  

Claim: the unique shortest path from A to B passes through all k important nodes.  
Justification sketch: among all pairs of important nodes, A and B are a diameter (longest) pair in the shortest-path metric restricted to the important set. Any other important node X lies on some shortest path between A and B—otherwise you could make a longer diameter by replacing one endpoint with X.

Step 2: Build the Shortest‐Path DAG from A  
We construct a directed acyclic graph DAG on the original vertex set: for every undirected edge (u,v,w), if dist₂[v] = dist₂[u] + w then add a directed edge u→v; similarly if dist₂[u] = dist₂[v] + w then add v→u. This DAG encodes all shortest‐path moves increasing distance from A.

Step 3: DP to maximize important‐node visits  
We mark all k important nodes with weight 1, others 0.  We want a path in the DAG starting at A and ending at B that maximizes the sum of these weights; since there is a path that gets all k ones, this maximum is k, and that path visits every important node.

We do a memoized DFS dp[u] = maximum number of important nodes collectable from u to any sink.  Then dp[A] = k, and dp[B] = 1.

Step 4: Reconstruct the path  
Starting at A, repeatedly follow an outgoing edge u→v in the DAG such that  
  dp[u] = dp[v] + (is_important[u]?1:0)  
until we reach B.  Collect the corresponding original edge IDs.

Overall Complexity  
- Two Dijkstra runs: O(m log n).  
- Building the DAG: O(m).  
- DFS‐DP on the DAG: O(n + m).  
Total: O(m log n + n + m) which is fine for n,m up to 1e5.

5. Compressed Editorial  

- Run Dijkstra from an arbitrary important node to pick one endpoint A (the farthest important).  
- Run Dijkstra from A to find the other endpoint B (the farthest important from A). The unique shortest path A→B will pass through all important nodes.  
- Build the shortest-path DAG oriented outward from A (edges u→v where dist[v]=dist[u]+w).  
- Mark important nodes with weight 1, others 0. Do a memoized DFS on the DAG from A computing dp[u]=max sum of weights from u to any sink. Then dp[A]=k.  
- Reconstruct any path from A to B that respects dp transitions, collecting all k important nodes, and output its edge indices.
