The scenario
Repair order state, build a valid kitchen schedule, and improve completion time.
A failure to reason about
Use a small scheduling scenario to compare current behavior with the requirement.
Illustrative context for the topic. The exercise’s full requirements arrive in the workspace.
Questions to bring to your review
- Which caller makes the reported behavior visible?
- What focused regression would distinguish the current behavior from the requirement?
- What existing behavior must remain intact after the change?
Skills you will practice
- State invariants
- Resource scheduling
- Precedence constraints
- Performance measurement
Read the existing code, reproduce the reported behavior, review proposed changes, and verify your final implementation. You can use AI assistance while staying responsible for the result.
