claude-code/java-t3 #11 · 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: AES-256 File Encryption Tool Write a program that encrypts and decrypts files using AES-256 encryption in CBC mode with proper key derivation, initialization vectors, and authenticated encryption to prevent tampering. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: - Accept a file path, a password, and a mode (encrypt or decrypt) as command-line arguments - Derive the encryption key from the password using PBKDF2 with SHA-256, a random 16-byte salt, and at least 100,000 iterations - Encrypt using AES-256-CBC with a random 16-byte initialization vector (IV) for each encryption - Prepend the salt and IV to the encrypted output file so they are available for decryption - Add HMAC-SHA256 authentication tag to the encrypted file to detect tampering during decryption - During decryption, verify the HMAC before attempting to decrypt and report a clear error if the file has been modified - Support encrypting entire directories recursively via --recursive flag, preserving directory structure in the output - Support a --output flag to specify the output file or directory (default: append .enc for encryption, strip .enc for decryption) - Display progress information for large files: file size, percentage complete, and throughput - If no input file is given, generate a sample text file with random content, encrypt it, then decrypt it back and verify the output matches the original - Handle errors gracefully: wrong password (HMAC mismatch), corrupted file, file not found, permission denied 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 M1T3P11L2). 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.
