2024 Taiwan TST Round 3, N

For each positive integer $k$, define $r(k)$ as the number of runs of $k$ in base-$2$, where a run is a collection of consecutive $0$s or consecutive $1$s without a larger one containing it. For example, $(11100100)_2$ has $4$ runs, namely $111-00-1-00$. Also, $r(0) = 0$. Given a positive integer $n$, find all functions $f : \mathbb{Z} \rightarrow\mathbb{Z}$ such that \[\sum_{k=0}^{2^n-1} 2^{r(k)}f(k+(-1)^{k} x)=(-1)^{x+n}\text{ for all integer $x$.}\] [i]Proposed by YaWNeeT[/i]
