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: Dijkstra Shortest Path Finder

Write a program that finds the shortest path between nodes in a weighted graph using Dijkstra's algorithm, supporting multiple graph input formats, path visualization, and batch queries.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a graph definition file as a command-line argument (support adjacency list in JSON and edge list in CSV format)
- Accept source and destination nodes via --source and --destination flags
- Implement Dijkstra's algorithm with a priority queue (min-heap) for optimal performance
- Support both directed and undirected graphs via --directed flag (default: undirected)
- Report for the shortest path: total distance/weight, the complete node sequence, and the number of edges
- Support finding shortest paths from one source to all other nodes via --all flag (single-source shortest path)
- Support negative edge weight detection: warn if negative weights are found (Dijkstra doesn't handle them correctly) and suggest using Bellman-Ford instead
- Display the path in multiple formats via --format flag: text (default, showing node sequence with edge weights), json (structured output), and dot (Graphviz DOT format for visualization)
- Support batch queries: read multiple source-destination pairs from a file via --queries flag and compute shortest paths for all pairs
- Print graph statistics: total nodes, total edges, average degree, connected components count, and graph density
- Save results as JSON with --output flag (default: shortest_path.json)
- If no input is given, generate a sample weighted graph with 15 nodes and 25 edges, find shortest paths between several pairs of nodes, and demonstrate the all-pairs output
- Handle errors: disconnected nodes (no path exists), self-loops, duplicate edges, invalid node references, and malformed graph files

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
