03 / TASK AND FAILURE
claude-code/cpp-t2 #18 · read the task the agent was given
Claude Code wrote this cpp project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written. Task given to the agent: TASK: Image Format Converter Write a program that converts images between common formats (PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, WebP) with configurable quality settings, preserving metadata where possible. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: - Accept an image file path and target format as command-line arguments - Support conversions between: PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and WebP formats - Support a --quality flag for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP) with a value from 1-100 (default: 85) - Support a --resize flag to resize during conversion using WxH syntax (e.g., --resize 800x600), preserving aspect ratio by default - Support --maintain-aspect flag (default true) to control whether resizing preserves the original aspect ratio by fitting within the specified dimensions - Preserve EXIF metadata during conversion where the target format supports it, with a --strip-metadata flag to optionally remove it - Support alpha channel handling: when converting from formats with transparency (PNG, WebP) to formats without (JPEG, BMP), use a configurable background color via --background flag (default: white) - Support batch conversion of all images in a directory via --batch flag, optionally filtering by input format with --filter flag - Print conversion details to console: input format, output format, original dimensions, new dimensions, file size before and after, compression ratio - Save the converted image to a path specified by --output flag (default: same name with new extension) - If no input is given, generate a sample 800x600 PNG image with gradients, text, and transparency, then convert it to all other supported formats and display a comparison table - Handle errors: unsupported formats, corrupted images, insufficient disk space, invalid resize dimensions Create a complete C++ project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only G++ 12+ and CMake 3.22+ installed. Include: - Source code - CMakeLists.txt with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions - README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

]Written by Claude Code (study run M1T2P18L4). It failed as written and was repaired by changing only its environment.
Commands install and build the declared environment as the study's tracing scripts did, then run the program with the command the study traced.
Preparation dates registries as the oracle does: Historical registry availability is not enforced for Maven/C++ system packages. Maven updatePolicy controls refresh frequency, not publication date.

# Image Format Converter (C++ - FreeImage + nlohmann/json) An image format converter that supports PNG, JPEG, BMP, TIFF, and WebP formats with quality settings, resize capabilities, and metadata preservation. ## Dependencies - **FreeImage 3.18.0** - Open source library for image I/O with support for many formats and metadata - **nlohmann/json 3.11.3** (via FetchContent) - JSON for Modern C++, used for structured output ## Prerequisites Install FreeImage on your system: ```bash # Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt-get install libfreeimage-dev # macOS brew install freeimage # Windows (vcpkg) vcpkg install freeimage ``` ## Build ```bash mkdir build && cd build cmake .. cmake --build . ``` ## Usage ### Convert a single image ```bash ./image_converter convert input.png output.jpg ./image_converter convert input.bmp output.webp -q 90 ./image_converter convert input.tiff output.png -r 800x600 ./image_converter convert input.jpg output.tiff --no-metadata -v ``` ### Batch convert images ```bash ./image_converter batch ./input_dir ./output_dir png ./image_converter batch ./photos ./thumbnails jpg -q 75 -r 200x200 ``` ### Display image information (JSON output) ```bash ./image_converter info photo.jpg ``` ## Options | Option | Description | |--------|-------------| | `-q, --quality` | Quality setting (1-100, default: 85) | | `-r, --resize` | Resize to WIDTHxHEIGHT (e.g., 800x600) | | `--no-metadata` | Strip metadata from output | | `-v, --verbose` | Print detailed conversion information | ## Supported Formats | Format | Read | Write | Notes | |--------|------|-------|-------| | PNG | Yes | Yes | Compression level configurable | | JPEG | Yes | Yes | Quality configurable | | BMP | Yes | Yes | Uncompressed | | TIFF | Yes | Yes | LZW compression | | WebP | Yes | Yes | Quality configurable |
