# Largest Rectangle in a Histogram
Implement `largest_histogram_rectangle(heights: list[int]) -> int`.
Each integer is the height of a unit-width histogram bar. Return the largest rectangular area that can be formed from one or more consecutive bars, with the rectangle's base on the histogram baseline.
### Input Domain
- `0 <= len(heights) <= 200,000`.
- `0 <= heights[i] <= 10^9`.
### Output Rules
- A rectangle spanning indices `left` through `right` has height equal to the minimum bar height in that interval and width `right - left + 1`.
- Return `0` for an empty input or when all heights are zero.
- Return only the exact maximum area; no coordinates are required.
### Constraints
- Use signed 64-bit arithmetic for areas.
- Target time is `O(n)` and additional space is `O(n)`.
### Examples
#### Example 1
Input: `heights = [2,1,5,6,2,3]`
Output: `10`
#### Example 2
Input: `heights = [2,4]`
Output: `4`
```hint Determine when a bar's right boundary becomes known
A monotonic structure can retain candidate bars until a shorter height proves that they cannot extend farther right.
```
Quick Answer: Return the maximum rectangle area formed by consecutive histogram bars using a linear-time monotonic-stack approach and 64-bit arithmetic.
Each integer is the height of a unit-width histogram bar. Return the largest rectangular area that can be formed from one or more consecutive bars, with the rectangle's base on the histogram baseline.
