Problem

Implement a function to process sensor data or optimize a search path.

For this exercise, use the search-path interpretation. Given a rectangular grid, find the shortest path from start to goal, moving only up, down, left, or right through passable cells. Return the path as a list of coordinates, or an empty list when no path exists.

Input and Output

grid is a 2D list where 0 is passable and 1 is blocked. start and goal are [row, column] coordinates. Return coordinates in order from start to goal. Both endpoints are passable.

Constraints

1 <= len(grid) <= 200
1 <= len(grid[0]) <= 200
All rows have the same length
len(grid) * len(grid[0]) <= 100000
Each grid value is either 0 or 1
start and goal are valid passable coordinates

Function Signature

def optimize_search_path(grid, start, goal):
