Question
Implement a token-bucket rate limiter. The bucket has a maximum capacity and refills at a constant rate of `refill_per_sec` tokens per second (continuous, fractional accumulation allowed, capped at capacity). The bucket starts full. Given a non-decreasing list of integer-second request times, each request needs exactly 1 token: if at least 1 token is available it is allowed and 1 token is consumed; otherwise it is rejected. Return the list of booleans for each request.
token_bucket(requests: list[int], capacity: int, refill_per_sec: float) → list[bool][[0,0,0,1],2,1]out[true,true,false,true]State your approach and its time/space complexity out loud before you optimize. Handle the edge cases (empty input, duplicates, overflow), and say why you chose this over the brute force. Green tests are the floor, not the grade.
Vibe coding: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach. Generating runnable code from your description is coming next.
