Interview Prompt

Two nightly imports of the same ledger should hold identical records keyed by `id_field`, but the upstream systems drift and rows diverge. Reconcile the two lists into four id-ordered buckets: ids only in `source_a`, ids only in `source_b`, ids in both with identical records, and ids in both whose records differ, reporting for that last bucket which non-id fields differ and each source's value.

Summary

Two versions of the same truth.

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
