SMOTE before split contaminates test
An AI addressed class imbalance with SMOTE before the split. Validation recall jumps to 0.95 but real-world recall is mediocre. Identify the two-part mistake.

[[1,0],[true,true]]out[0,0,1,1]What a strong answer looks like
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.

Vibe & agentic: describe the solution in plain language (or narrate it) and the coach grades your approach.
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.
