Model the core domain objects for tracking physical condition assessments of rare library books, with immutable scan history and structured condition report generation.
Design an in-memory system for a library to manage the physical condition of rare books. Librarians register condition scans for each book, and curators can request a structured condition report. Start by clarifying the scope and key objects.
Work in the provided coding workspace while explaining your decisions to the live interviewer. Validation may use inline tests, examples, comments, or a verbal walkthrough.
Practice this problem in the live coding workspace while the interviewer probes your clarification, implementation, trade-offs, and validation.
