Interview Prompt
We have a disk-usage listing, `entries`, where each line is a 'filepath size_bytes timestamp' string. Return the total bytes per file extension as a dict keyed by extension.
Summary
File types and their disk footprint. One type dominates.
How This Interview Works
- Read the vague prompt (just like a real interview)
- Ask clarifying questions to the AI interviewer
- Write and run your Python against test cases
- Answer the interviewer's follow-up questions, then get a hire or no-hire decision
