The Target Hunt
Given a list of integers and integer target, return all unique [x, y] pairs with x != y (from distinct indices) summing to target, each index used in at most one pair. Preserve discovery order (greedy: sweep left-to-right, for each x pick the smallest index y > x such that x+y = target and y is unclaimed). Return pairs as lists.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99

Problem
Given a list of integers and integer target, return all unique [x, y] pairs with x != y (from distinct indices) summing to target, each index used in at most one pair. Preserve discovery order (greedy: sweep left-to-right, for each x pick the smallest index y > x such that x+y = target and y is unclaimed). Return pairs as lists.
Summary
Pairs that hit a target. Every one of them.
