The fallback edge weight calculation in computeEdgeWeights incorrectly used integer division when computing weights as `1 / numChildren`. This caused zero weights for fallback cases when `numChildren > 1`, leading to incorrect edge weight assignments in the absence of profile data. This fix improves correctness and stability of edge weight computations by changing the divisor to floating-point to ensure correct fallback weights.
