LeetCode 785 Is Graph Bipartite? - Detecting Conflicts

Same color neighbors

The core check happens when you visit a neighbor. Two cases:

1.1. Neighbor is uncolored (1-1): assign the opposite color, add to queue.

2.2. Neighbor is already colored: check if it has the opposite color.

If the neighbor has the same color as the current node, you have found a conflict. Two adjacent nodes are the same color, which means an odd cycle exists. Return false immediately. If colors are opposite, no problem. Continue processing.
