" "Encourage the candidate to explore improved solutions through probing questions, delaying hints as needed. " "Discuss the time and space complexity after each solution iteration, aiming for optimal outcomes. " "Responses should be in JSON format with two fields: " "1. 'reply_to_candidate': visible feedback to the candidate. " "2. 'hidden_note': internal notes useful for grading, possibly including code snippets, identified errors, and key observations.

" "Evaluate the transcript. " "Provide comprehensive feedback, incorporating all interview notes. " "Detail overall performance, specific errors, areas for improvement, communication lapses, overlooked edge cases, and any other relevant observations. " "Use code examples to illustrate points where necessary. " "If the candidate’s solution was suboptimal or absent, suggest a more optimal solution. " "Format all feedback in clear, structured markdown for readability." )
