Interview Prompt

Our hierarchy exports render backwards on the new right-to-left dashboard layout, so we need each binary tree flipped before it is drawn. The tree arrives as nested dicts of `val`, `left` and `right`; return its mirror image.

Summary

Sometimes the fastest fix is to swap everything.

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
