Claude Code wrote this java project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: Markdown to HTML Converter

Write a program that converts Markdown documents to HTML with support for GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions, syntax highlighting of code blocks, table of contents generation, and custom CSS styling.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a Markdown file path as a command-line argument
- Support standard Markdown: headings (h1-h6), bold, italic, strikethrough, links, images, blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists, horizontal rules, inline code, and code blocks
- Support GitHub Flavored Markdown extensions: tables, task lists (checkboxes), fenced code blocks with language identifiers, autolinks, and footnotes
- Apply syntax highlighting to fenced code blocks based on the specified language (support at least: python, javascript, java, c++, html, css, json, bash)
- Generate a table of contents from headings via --toc flag, inserted at the top of the document with anchor links
- Support custom CSS styling via --css flag (path to a CSS file to embed or link in the output)
- Support wrapping the output in a complete HTML document (with DOCTYPE, head, body) via --full-page flag, or outputting just the HTML fragment (default)
- Support automatic heading ID generation for anchor links based on heading text
- Support converting multiple Markdown files via --batch flag, with optional --index flag to generate an index page linking all converted files
- Print the HTML output to console by default
- Save the HTML to a file via --output flag (default: same base name with .html extension)
- If no input file is given, generate a sample Markdown document demonstrating all supported features (headings, lists, code blocks, tables, images, links, task lists, footnotes), convert it, and save both the Markdown source and HTML output
- Handle errors: invalid Markdown syntax (graceful degradation), missing linked files, and encoding issues

Create a complete Java project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only JDK 17+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- pom.xml with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output
