Flask: Compute rolling metrics for admin API performance telemetry

A service boundary accepts valid traffic but mishandles duplicate, stale, or unauthorized records. The affected area is admin API.

Repair the admin API performance telemetry implementation so it computes a fixed-width rolling average in event order.

Evidence

Affected surface: Flask / admin API.
Observed failure family: compute rolling metrics.
Scope policy: authorized must equal true.

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 medium 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.
