03 / TASK AND FAILURE

claude-code/java-t2 #30 · 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: 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

Written by Claude Code (study run M1T2P30L2). 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.

# Markdown to HTML Converter (Java - Trial 2)

A Java Markdown to HTML converter using flexmark-java for parsing with GFM extensions and Jackson for JSON configuration handling.

## Dependencies

- **flexmark-java** (0.64.8) - Markdown parser with GFM extensions (tables, strikethrough, autolink, anchor links, task lists, TOC)
- **Jackson** (2.16.1) - JSON serialization/deserialization for configuration handling

## Build

```bash
mvn clean package
```

## Usage

```bash
# Basic conversion
java -jar target/md-converter-1.0.0.jar input.md

# Specify output file
java -jar target/md-converter-1.0.0.jar -o output.html input.md

# Use configuration file
java -jar target/md-converter-1.0.0.jar -c config.json input.md

# Generate default configuration
java -jar target/md-converter-1.0.0.jar --generate-config

# Print to stdout
java -jar target/md-converter-1.0.0.jar --stdout input.md
```

## Features

- GFM extensions via flexmark-java: tables, strikethrough, autolinks, task lists, anchor links
- Automatic table of contents generation
- JSON-based configuration via Jackson
- Custom CSS support
- Complete HTML document output
