Interview Prompt

An ingestion step hands you a list of record dicts in `records` and the name of a field in `key`. Return a dict mapping each value found under that field to the list of records carrying it.

Summary

Every record finds its kin; keep them in the order they arrived.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write and run your Python against test cases
  4. Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
