Django: Validate a record batch for admin action input boundary

A production request path returns inconsistent decisions during retries and concurrent updates. The affected area is admin action.

Repair the admin action input boundary implementation so it normalizes valid records and returns field-level errors for invalid ones.

Evidence

Affected surface: Django / admin action.
Observed failure family: validate a record batch.
Scope policy: cohort must equal stable.

What this task practices

This coding (platform) exercise trains the same sequence expected in an interview: understand the prompt, make assumptions explicit, produce a concrete answer, and explain the decisions behind it. The task is marked easy difficulty. The private workspace adds the tools required by this round, such as recording, code execution, diagrams, evidence panels, or structured notes. It also preserves the attempt so later feedback can be compared with previous work. Evaluation is based on task-specific criteria and the candidate seniority selected in the preparation path. Public pages never expose the reference solution, hidden tests, evaluator instructions, or another candidate’s work.
