Interview Prompt
You're scanning a buffer of unsorted sensor readings in `nums` for a peak: an index whose value is strictly greater than both of its neighbors. The buffer can be large and lookups must stay logarithmic, so walking every reading is off the table. Return the index of any one such peak.
Summary
Somewhere the ground stops climbing.
