Lena was building a small utility for the team's log viewer to help find specific sets of tags buried in long strings of text. Mark suggested that instead of showing the entire line, the tool should only highlight the shortest possible segment that includes every required tag. For instance, if a developer needs to find the characters 'A', 'B', and 'C' within a sequence like 'ADOBECODEBANC', the utility should pinpoint 'BANC' as the most compact result. This ensures the team isn't distracted by unnecessary noise when debugging complex system outputs.
