sorted_list_difference failed to deduplicate remaining elements when onelist was exhausted, causing duplicate values in the result.Fix uses dict.fromkeys() to deduplicate before extending.sim:https://taskei.amazon.dev/tasks/TODO
…icationExercise the except-IndexError path where one list is exhaustedand the remaining tail of the other list contains duplicates.These cases were previously untested and would have passed evenwithout the fix in the preceding commit.

dict.fromkeys requires hashable elements, which narrows the inputcontract. Replace with a simple consecutive-duplicate removal thatonly uses equality comparison, matching the main loop's approach.Add test cases for strings and unhashable types (lists).

Problem
sorted_list_differencedoesn't deduplicate remaining elements when one list is exhausted. Theexcept IndexErrorfallback usesextend(expected[i:])/extend(actual[j:])which includes duplicates.Reproducer
Fix
Replace the raw extend(expected[i:]) / extend(actual[j:]) in the except IndexError fallback with a helper that removes consecutive duplicates. The helper only uses equality comparison (not hashing), matching the main loop's approach and preserving support for unhashable types like lists.
