Your question is Debounced Search API Handler. Start with the requirements on the right.

Problem

Implement a function that simulates the core logic behind a debounced search bar. You are given a list of input events, where each event is a pair (timestamp_ms, query) sorted by time, and a debounce_ms delay. Return the list of API calls that should actually be made if a new keystroke cancels any pending request that has not fired yet. Each API call should be represented as (fire_time_ms, query).

Constraints

0 <= len(events) <= 10^5
0 <= timestamp_ms <= 10^9
events is sorted by timestamp_ms in non-decreasing order
0 <= len(query) <= 100
1 <= debounce_ms <= 10^6

Function Signature

def debounced_search_calls(events, debounce_ms):
