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: File Deduplicator

Write a program that finds and manages duplicate files across directories using content-based hashing, supporting multiple deduplication strategies and detailed reporting.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept one or more directory paths as command-line arguments
- Find duplicate files by comparing SHA-256 content hashes, using a two-phase approach: first compare file sizes to narrow candidates, then hash only size-matched files
- Support configurable minimum file size via --min-size flag (default: 1 byte) to skip tiny files
- Support file type filtering via --include and --exclude flags with glob patterns
- Group duplicates into sets showing all copies with their full paths, sizes, and modification dates
- Support multiple deduplication actions via --action flag: report (default, just list duplicates), delete (remove duplicates keeping the oldest/newest based on --keep flag), hardlink (replace duplicates with hard links to save space), symlink (replace with symbolic links)
- Support a --dry-run flag to preview what would be done without actually modifying files
- Scan directories recursively by default, with --no-recursive flag to disable
- Display a progress bar during scanning showing files processed and duplicates found so far
- Print summary to console: total files scanned, total unique files, duplicate sets found, total wasted space, space that would be recovered
- Save the full deduplication report as JSON with --output flag (default: dedup_report.json)
- If no directories are given, create a sample directory with intentional duplicates (exact copies, files with same content but different names, and unique files), run deduplication analysis, and display the results
- Handle errors: permission denied, broken symlinks, files modified during scan, and cross-filesystem hard links

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

# File Deduplicator (C++ - Trial 3)

## Description
Finds duplicate files via content hashing using libsodium's generic hash (BLAKE2b). Supports hardlink, symlink, and delete deduplication strategies. Uses spdlog for structured, colored logging output.

## Dependencies
- **libsodium**: Cryptographic library used for BLAKE2b file content hashing
- **spdlog**: Fast C++ logging library (fetched via CMake FetchContent)

## Build & Run
```bash
# Ensure libsodium is installed (e.g., apt install libsodium-dev)
mkdir build && cd build
cmake ..
make
./file_deduplicator /path/to/scan --strategy hardlink
./file_deduplicator /path/to/scan --strategy delete --execute
```

## Deduplication Strategies
- **hardlink**: Replace duplicates with hard links to the original
- **symlink**: Replace duplicates with symbolic links to the original
- **delete**: Remove duplicate files entirely

## Notes
- Default mode is dry-run; use `--execute` to apply changes
- Trial 1 used OpenSSL, Trial 2 used xxHash; this trial uses libsodium for hashing
