Android main thread freeze
An AI generated this Android settings-screen code to read a config file and JSON-decode it before showing the UI. It works on the emulator, but QA reports the screen freezes for ~1s on older devices and you get ANR reports in production. What's wrong and how would you catch it?

Treat the AI’s output as a draft to verify, not an answer to trust. Name the specific flaw and the input that triggers it, say how you’d catch it (tests, edge cases, reading critically), and how you’d re-prompt or decompose to get it right.

Which questions mattered is sealed until you submit. Telling you now would just be handing over the edge cases.
Run or narrate your approach, then ask the coach.
