Pack Boxes Through a One-Sided Warehouse. boxes gives the heights of unit-width boxes, and warehouse gives the room heights from left to right. You may choose the boxes’ insertion order.
### Problem
`boxes` gives the heights of unit-width boxes, and `warehouse` gives the room heights from left to right. You may choose the boxes’ insertion order. Every box enters from the left and cannot pass through a shorter room or a previously placed box. Boxes cannot be stacked. Return the maximum number that can be placed.
```cpp
class Solution {
public:
int maxBoxesInWarehouse(vector<int>& boxes, vector<int>& warehouse);
};
```
### Examples
**Example 1:**
```text
boxes = [2,4,1], warehouse = [3,2,5]
Output: 2
Explanation: Push height 1 to the final room and height 2 to the middle room; height 4 cannot pass the entrance.
```
**Example 2:**
```text
boxes = [3,3,2], warehouse = [4,4]
Output: 2
Explanation: Only two rooms exist, and two of these boxes can occupy them.
```
### Constraints
- `n == warehouse.length`.
- Both array lengths are between `1` and `10^5`, inclusive.
- All heights lie in `[1,10^9]`.
### Clarifying Questions
The rooms are fixed, whereas box insertion order is free. The output is the maximum count, not a placement arrangement.
```hint Inspect the structure
How can the entrance path and already placed boxes affect whether a proposed final arrangement is physically realizable?
```
### Reasoning checkpoints
- Show that every claimed placement can enter from the left without blockage or stacking.
- Prove that no legal insertion order can place more boxes.
### Optional extensions
How would allowing entry from both ends change each room’s accessibility?
