Interview Prompt
A test fixture needs predictable placeholder passwords: given a `length` and a character `pool`, build a password of exactly `length` characters. It uses `pool`'s characters in order and repeats them from the start as many times as needed.
Summary
Random characters, fixed rules.
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
