Describes rapid development of a Thonny log visualizer using AI-assisted 'vibe coding' to make student programming processes visible to teachers. Piloted in a 160-student introductory programming course. Provides interactive timelines, session summaries, code-size graphs, and programming-process replays supporting teacher decision-making and academic-integrity clarification.

Relevance to AI in Education: This paper contributes to the understanding of Automated Assessment, Personalized Learning, and Student Experience. The findings have implications for Adaptive Learning systems, Formative Assessment design, and the broader Edtech Platform landscape. Future work should explore how these results generalize across STEM Education and Higher Ed contexts.

This research connects to the growing body of work on AI Literacy and Teacher Role, highlighting both the promise and limitations of AI tools in educational settings.
