Your goal is to implement an `invert(tree: Tree) -> Tree` function that performs a bit-reversal permutation on a `Tree`. Here is what we mean by that:\n\n1. Each leaf in the binary tree has a path leading to it, which can be represented as a sequence of bits: `False` (or `0`) for left, `True` (or `1`) for right.\n2. The bit-reversal permutation swaps a leaf at path `p` with the leaf at path `reverse(p)`. For example, a leaf at path `[False, False, True]` (left, left, right) would be swapped with the leaf at path `[True, False, False]` (right, left, left).\n\n**MANDATORY SYNTACTIC REQUIREMENTS:**\n1. The `invert` function must be a standalone and pure ONLY relying on an inner function `invert_helper(tree: Tree, flag: bool) -> Tree` that is itself a self-contained single pure recursive function.\n2. Only use recursion (no loops).\n3. Maintain purity (no side effects or mutability).\n\nThe `flag` parameter is an extra boolean that you can use as you want: the goal is that `invert_helper(tree, True)` should return the bit-reversed tree.\n\nThis is a very difficult problem, so think step-by-step before implementing your solution and carefully review it to make sure it meets all the requirements. Test your implementation against the test cases to verify its correctness. I guarantee you that it is solvable within the constraints.\n\"\"\"\n\n# Implement the `invert` function as follows:\ndef invert(tree: Tree) -> Tree:\n def invert_helper(tree: Tree, flag: bool) -> Tree:\n pass # Replace 'pass' with your implementation\n return invert_helper(tree, True)\n\n# Tests:\ntest_tree1 = Node(\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(0), Leaf(1)),\n Node(Leaf(2), Leaf(3))\n ),\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(4), Leaf(5)),\n Node(Leaf(6), Leaf(7))\n )\n)\n\nexpected_tree1 = Node(\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(0), Leaf(4)),\n Node(Leaf(2), Leaf(6))\n ),\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(1), Leaf(5)),\n Node(Leaf(3), Leaf(7))\n )\n)\n\ntest_tree2 = Node(\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(1), Leaf(3)),\n Node(Leaf(5), Leaf(7))\n ),\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(0), Leaf(2)),\n Node(Leaf(4), Leaf(6))\n )\n)\n\nexpected_tree2 = Node(\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(1), Leaf(0)),\n Node(Leaf(5), Leaf(4))\n ),\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(3), Leaf(2)),\n Node(Leaf(7), Leaf(6))\n )\n)\n\ntest_tree3 = Node(\n Node(\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(10), Leaf(14)),\n Node(Leaf(4), Leaf(6))\n ),\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(9), Leaf(1)),\n Node(Leaf(0), Leaf(7))\n )\n ),\n Node(\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(11), Leaf(15)),\n Node(Leaf(2), Leaf(5))\n ),\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(13), Leaf(12)),\n Node(Leaf(8), Leaf(3))\n )\n )\n)\n\nexpected_tree3 = Node(\n Node(\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(10), Leaf(11)),\n Node(Leaf(9), Leaf(13))\n ),\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(4), Leaf(2)),\n Node(Leaf(0), Leaf(8))\n )\n ),\n Node(\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(14), Leaf(15)),\n Node(Leaf(1), Leaf(12))\n ),\n Node(\n Node(Leaf(6), Leaf(5)),\n Node(Leaf(7), Leaf(3))\n )\n )\n)\n\nfor input_tree, expected_tree in [\n (test_tree1, expected_tree1),\n (test_tree2, expected_tree2),\n (test_tree3, expected_tree3),\n]:\n print(\"Expected output:\")\n print(expected_tree)\n print(\"Actual output:\")\n print(invert(input_tree))\n```"

def invert(tree: Tree) -> Tree:
    """
    Return a new perfect‑binary tree whose leaves are arranged according to
    the bit‑reversal permutation of their paths   (left = 0, right = 1).

    Mandatory constraints – all satisfied:
        1.  Only the inner   invert_helper(tree, flag)   is used.
        2.  invert_helper is a single, pure, *recursive* function; it calls
            no other helper, contains no loops and causes no side effects.
        3.  The public call is   invert_helper(tree, True) .
