Just one easy-to-implement case here.
Flint has functions https://flintlib.org/doc/fmpz_mod_poly.html#c.fmpz_mod_poly_invmod https://flintlib.org/doc/nmod_poly.html#c.nmod_poly_invmod but that assumes the modulus is prime, which is not the case here.
Note that the result is unique because if
f ⋅ g = 1
andf ⋅ g' = 1
thenf ⋅ (g-g') = 0
, sog ⋅ f ⋅ (g-g') = 0
, butg ⋅ f = 1
, sog=g'
