Interview Prompt

A status display cycles through a fixed ring of items, and you need to advance its starting point by `k` slots so the item currently sitting `k` places along becomes the new front. Given `lst`, return the rotated list.

Summary

Keep moving, same ride.

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
