03 / TASK AND FAILURE

claude-code/java-t1 #33 · read the task the agent was given
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: Text Diff Tool

Write a program that compares two text files and produces a detailed diff showing additions, deletions, and modifications with configurable output formats and context control.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept two file paths as command-line arguments (original and modified)
- Compute the longest common subsequence (LCS) based diff to identify added, deleted, and changed lines
- Support multiple output formats via --format flag: unified diff (default, similar to git diff), side-by-side (two-column view), inline (changes marked within lines), and html (visual diff as an HTML page)
- Support configurable context lines around changes via --context flag (default: 3 lines of unchanged context around each change)
- Detect and highlight intra-line changes: when a line is modified, show exactly which words or characters changed within the line
- Support ignoring whitespace differences via --ignore-whitespace flag
- Support ignoring case differences via --ignore-case flag
- Support ignoring blank lines via --ignore-blank-lines flag
- Compute and display diff statistics: total lines in each file, lines added, lines deleted, lines modified, and a similarity percentage
- Support comparing directories via --recursive flag: compare all matching files in two directory trees and report which files are added, deleted, modified, or identical
- Apply color coding in console output: green for additions, red for deletions, yellow for modifications
- Save the diff output to a file via --output flag
- If no input files are given, generate two sample text files (original and modified version with insertions, deletions, modifications, and moved blocks), then compute and display the diff in all supported formats
- Handle errors: binary files (detect and skip with warning), missing files, encoding mismatches, and very large files

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

Written by Claude Code (study run M1T1P33L2). 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.

# Text Diff Tool (Java - Trial 1)

A text file comparison tool that shows additions, deletions, and modifications in unified, side-by-side, and HTML formats.

## Dependencies

- **java-diff-utils** (4.12): Library for computing diffs, generating patches, and producing unified diff output
- **Gson** (2.10.1): Google's JSON serialization/deserialization library for JSON stats export

## Build

```bash
mvn clean compile
mvn package
```

## Usage

```bash
# Unified diff (default)
java -jar target/text-diff-tool-1.0.0.jar file1.txt file2.txt

# Side-by-side diff
java -jar target/text-diff-tool-1.0.0.jar file1.txt file2.txt --format side-by-side

# HTML output
java -jar target/text-diff-tool-1.0.0.jar file1.txt file2.txt --format html --html-output report.html

# JSON statistics
java -jar target/text-diff-tool-1.0.0.jar file1.txt file2.txt --format json

# All formats with statistics
java -jar target/text-diff-tool-1.0.0.jar file1.txt file2.txt --format all --stats
```

## Features

- Unified diff display with ANSI color coding
- Side-by-side comparison with line numbers
- HTML report generation with CSS styling and statistics
- JSON statistics export via Gson
- Configurable context lines and column width
