Manages the state and conversation history of an interview.
The InterviewContext maintains all relevant information about an ongoing or

Attributes:
interview_id: Unique identifier for the interview
db_session: SQLAlchemy database session for persistence
questions: List of question dictionaries asked in the interview
answers: List of answer dictionaries given by the candidate
scores: List of scores for each question-answer pair
topics_covered: Set of unique topics covered in the interview
knowledge_gaps: List of topics where candidate showed weakness
current_difficulty: Current difficulty level (easy, medium, hard)
