Your question is Debugging a Production Memory Leak. Take a moment with it on the right.
Talk me through your thinking if you like. When you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes).
Walk me through your approach to debugging a memory leak in a production environment. Explain how you would confirm the leak, isolate its source, protect users while investigating, and communicate progress to relevant stakeholders. I am looking for a structured, evidence-based approach that demonstrates ownership, prioritization, and sound judgment under production pressure.
