# Bigram Markov-chain analytics over a text corpus.
# 1. Tokenize each input line into lowercase a-z words.
# 2. Build bg[prev, curr] count.
# 3. For each starting word, list the top-3 follow-on words by count
#    (lexicographic tie-break) — deterministic output, no rand() needed.
# 4. Also deterministically walk a 12-step chain starting from "the":
#    at each step, pick the next word with highest count; lex tie-break.
