Interview Prompt

Each record in `records` is a parsed log line: a single-character channel tag paired with the number of bytes that line carried. Return a dict mapping each channel tag to the total bytes across all lines that carried it.

Summary

Every character leaves a trace. Add them up.

How This Interview Works

  1. Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
  2. Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
  3. Write your python solution with real code execution
  4. Get instant feedback and a hire/no-hire decision
