Stuck? Show a way to structure it+
  1. 01State the contract and the key invariant for Distributed Storage
  2. 02Clarify workload and consistency
  3. 03Partition keys
  4. 04Replicate across failure domains
  5. 05Choose read/write quorum behavior
  6. 06Validate the result against boundary cases and state routing is O(1) or O(log n); aggregate capacity is bounded by bottlenecks
