Interviewer said 30min "Hands-on Development" in the browser (no local IDE), Is this LeetCode or a practical task (build an api or something) ?

Hi everyone,
I have an upcoming Senior Engineer interview:
- 30 minutes: "Hands on development."
I asked the recruiter if this would be LeetCode or something else, and they replied: "Its going to be on the web. No local environment needed from your side."

Could be straight leetcode, could be given a small piece of code and asked to implement a minor feature (like a simulated web hook returning user data and you're supposed to add sort order), could be designing a class with a non-remote API.
It sounds unlikely to be practical in the sense of working on a real system or doing real things like deploying.

Rule 9: No Low Effort Posts, Excessive Venting, or Bragging.
Using this subreddit to crowd source answers to something that isn't really contributing to the spirit of this subreddit is forbidden at moderator's discretion. This includes posts that are mostly focused around venting or bragging; both of these types of posts are difficult to moderate and don't contribute much to the subreddit.

Could be one of those online “proctored” tests where they record your entire desktop, and require a webcam. Code in basically a browser vscode sandbox while being watched.
Seen several of these lately, they feel extremely impersonal, and I’m not a fan.

Probably something like code signal

I do this in interviews, but never leetcode.
In fact, when I do this, I'm going for foundational knowledge; exact opposite of leetcode.

They are probably being vague on purpose if your recruiter is not giving more details

Probably a leetcode.
