Interview Prompt

Return one dict per log line, mapping each key to its value, where every entry in `lines` is a raw application log record written as space-separated `key=value` tokens.

Summary

Every line holds a secret.

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
