03 / TASK AND FAILURE

claude-code/cpp-t3 #45 · 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: Numerical Integration Calculator

Write a program that computes definite integrals of mathematical functions using multiple numerical methods, comparing accuracy and convergence across methods.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a mathematical expression as a command-line argument via --function flag (e.g., --function "sin(x)*exp(-x)")
- Accept integration bounds via --lower and --upper flags
- Support multiple numerical integration methods selectable via --method flag: trapezoidal rule, Simpson's rule, Simpson's 3/8 rule, Gaussian quadrature, and Romberg integration
- Support a configurable number of subintervals via --intervals flag (default: 1000) for methods that use subdivision
- Run all methods and compare results via --compare flag, showing each method's result, estimated error, and computation time
- Support adaptive integration: automatically refine the interval count until the result converges within a specified tolerance via --tolerance flag (default: 1e-10)
- Parse mathematical expressions supporting: basic operators (+, -, *, /, ^), standard functions (sin, cos, tan, exp, log, sqrt, abs), constants (pi, e), and nested parentheses
- Support improper integrals with infinite bounds via --infinite flag using appropriate limit-based techniques
- Support tabulated data integration: read (x, y) pairs from a CSV file via --data flag and integrate using the available methods
- Print results to console: integral value, estimated error, method used, intervals used, and computation time
- Save results as JSON with --output flag (default: integration_result.json)
- If no input is given, compute several well-known integrals (integral of sin(x) from 0 to pi = 2, integral of exp(-x^2) from 0 to infinity = sqrt(pi)/2, integral of 1/x from 1 to e = 1) using all methods and display a comparison table with exact vs computed values and relative errors
- Handle errors: division by zero within the integration range, non-convergent integrals, invalid mathematical expressions, and bounds where lower > upper

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 M1T3P45L4). 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.
