We are asked to count the number of ways to place houses on a set of 2n plots (n on one side and n on the other), with the constraint that **no two adjacent houses can be placed on the same side**.

This boils down to a problem of counting combinations of house placements for one row of n plots, such that no two are adjacent, and then squaring it because the left and the right side of the street are independent of one another.

Let’s call `dp[i]` the number of ways of placing houses in a row of `i` plots with no two adjacent houses.

Recurrence:
- `dp[0] = 1` (base case: 0 plots, 1 way to have no house)
- `dp[1] = 2` (choose to place or not place the single plot)
- `dp[i] = dp[i - 1] + dp[i - 2]` — because if we place a house on the last plot, the one before it must be empty, and we add the number of such arrangements that include placing in the last plot. Or if not, the previous plot might or might not be in use.

This recurrence is the Fibonacci sequence shifted and scaled.

Let us denote the number of arrangements for a single side with n plots as `f(n)` (also based on that recurrence), and the total arrangements for 2n plots is $ f(n)^2 $, due to independence between the two sides.

We will precompute the Fibonacci sequence with the correct initial condition $ f(0) = 1, f(1) = 2 $, and finally return the square of the value for n.

Now, the implementation:

```python
class Solution:
    def countHousePlacements(self, n: int) -> int:
        MOD = 10**9 + 7

        if n == 0:
            return 1

        # f(n) = dp[n] = number of ways to place houses in n plots, with no 2 adjacent
        dp = [0] * (n + 1)
        dp[0] = 1
        dp[1] = 2
        for i in range(2, n + 1):
            dp[i] = (dp[i - 1] + dp[i - 2]) % MOD

        total_ways_for_one_side = dp[n]
        result = (total_ways_for_one_side * total_ways_for_one_side) % MOD

        return result

This is an efficient implementation with O(n) time complexity and O(n) space complexity, which fits the constraint $ 1 \leq n \leq 10^4 $.

This is a challenging backtracking and counting problem involving permutations with constraints.

The key constraints:

• A permutation of nums is valid if the sum of every pair of adjacent elements is a perfect square.
• Count the number of unique permutations that satisfy this constraint.
• Note that nums might contain duplicates, and such permutations with equal elements in different order are not counted as different due to repeated identical values.

The idea is to:

1. Use backtracking to iterate over permutations of the array nums.
2. Count permutations that result in a squareful array.
3. Be careful about duplicate sequences: we avoid counting permutations that differ only in the order of duplicate values.
4. Efficiently test for a perfect square and provide a count of satisfying permutations.

This is a combinatorics-based permutation with pruning and constraints.

Below is a correct and optimized Python solution leveraging memoization or pruning by lexicographic handling and backtracking:

from typing import List
from collections import Counter
import math

class Solution:
    def numSquarefulPerms(self, nums: List[int]) -> int:
        n = len(nums)
        res = 0

        used = [False] * n

        def is_square(x):
            s = int(math.isqrt(x))
            return s * s == x

        def is_valid(seq):
            for i in range(len(seq) - 1):
                if not is_square(seq[i] + seq[i + 1]):
                    return False
            return True

        def backtrack(used, pos, path):
            if pos == n:
                if is_valid(path):
                    nonlocal res
                    res += 1
                return

            for i in range(n):
                if used[i]:
                    continue

                # Prevent identical elements from generating same branches
                if i > 0 and nums[i] == nums[i - 1] and not used[i - 1]:
                    continue

                used[i] = True
                path.append(nums[i])
                backtrack(used, pos + 1, path)
                path.pop()
                used[i] = False

        # Sort the nums to handle duplicates and apply constraints for unique permutations
        nums.sort()

        backtrack(used, 0, [])

        return res

This solution is efficient and works for the given input size constraint (up to length 12), and handles deduplication based on the relative ordering and permutation pattern.

We are to find the length of the longest ideal subsequence of the string s based on the constraints on adjacent characters in the ideal string.

Each character of the ideal string must not differ in alphabet order by more than k. Since it is a subsequence, we must preserve the original order of characters and not change that.

The idea is to use dynamic programming, where we store the best length we can have in ideal sequences ending in a certain character. A sequence ending in character c at a position in the input string can be extended only if we append a character that's within k in the alphabet difference from c.

Let’s define dp[c] as the maximum length of an ideal sequence that ends in character c. So, for each character in the input, for each of the 26 possible characters in the alphabet, if the character we are on is ch, and if $ |ord(ch) - ord(c)| \leq k $, then update dp[ch] = max(dp[ch], dp[c] + 1).

We then iterate over each character of the input string s, and keep using that information to update the best lengths of ideal subsequences.

Since the number of characters is limited to the 26 lowercase English alphabet, and we can initialize a dictionary or an array dp = [0] * 26, the solution is both efficient and scalable with even up to $10^5$ characters.

Let’s now implement this in the required Python class and method.

class Solution:
    def longestIdealString(self, s: str, k: int) -> int:
        dp = [0] * 26  # 26 characters in the alphabet

        for ch in s:
            c_idx = ord(ch) - ord('a')
            max_len = 1  # can include this one at least by itself

            # Try to extend every other letter in dp within the k distance
            for j in range(26):
                if abs(c_idx - j) <= k:
                    if dp[j] + 1 > max_len:
                        max_len = dp[j] + 1

            # Then, update the current dp[c_idx] with the max_len if necessary
            dp[c_idx] = max(dp[c_idx], max_len)

        return max(dp)
