Your question is Quick Fix vs Long-Term Architecture. 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).
How do you balance the trade-offs between a quick-and-dirty fix versus a long-term architectural improvement?
Explain the decision framework you would use, including how you assess urgency, risk, technical debt, maintainability, and stakeholder needs. Describe how you would communicate the decision, document follow-up work, and prevent a temporary solution from becoming permanent.
