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: QR Code Generator and Reader

Write a program that generates QR codes from text or URLs and reads/decodes QR codes from image files, supporting multiple output formats and error correction levels.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Support two subcommands: generate and read
- generate: Accept text or URL content via command-line argument and produce a QR code image
- Support configurable error correction levels via --error-correction flag: L (7%), M (15%), Q (25%), H (30%); default: M
- Support configurable QR code size via --size flag (pixels for the output image, default: 300x300)
- Support configurable module (pixel block) size via --scale flag (default: 10 pixels per module)
- Support custom colors via --foreground and --background flags (hex color codes, default: black on white)
- Support multiple output formats via --format flag: PNG (default), SVG, and ASCII art (for terminal display)
- Support adding a logo/image overlay in the center of the QR code via --logo flag (relies on higher error correction to remain scannable)
- read: Accept an image file path and decode the QR code content from it
- read: Support decoding from various image formats (PNG, JPEG, BMP)
- read: Report decoded content, QR version, error correction level, and encoding mode
- Support batch generation from a file containing one content string per line via --batch flag
- Print results to console: for generation show the content encoded and output path, for reading show the decoded content
- Save decoded results as JSON with --output flag
- If no arguments are given, generate QR codes for several sample inputs (a URL, a plain text message, a vCard contact, and a Wi-Fi network config), save them as images, then read each one back and verify the decoded content matches the original
- Handle errors: content too long for QR capacity, unreadable QR codes, low-quality images, and invalid color values

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

# QR Code Generator and Reader (Java - Trial 3)

## Description

A Java application that generates QR codes in multiple image formats using the QRGen library's fluent API, and decodes QR codes from images using ZXing's Java SE client. QRGen provides a simplified wrapper over ZXing for convenient code generation.

## Dependencies

- **qrgen** (2.0) - A simple QR code generation API for Java, built on top of ZXing. Provides a fluent builder interface for generating QR codes in PNG, BMP, GIF, and JPG formats with configurable size and character encoding.
- **javase** (transitive via qrgen) - The ZXing Java SE module providing BufferedImage-based luminance source and image I/O utilities for desktop barcode processing. Pulled in as a transitive dependency by QRGen.

## Features

- Generate QR codes as PNG images via QRGen fluent API
- Generate QR codes as BMP images
- Generate QR codes as GIF images
- Generate QR codes to temporary files
- Generate QR codes as in-memory BufferedImage objects
- Multi-format batch generation (PNG, BMP, GIF simultaneously)
- Decode QR codes from image files
- Round-trip verification (generate then decode)

## Building and Running

```bash
mvn clean compile
mvn exec:java -Dexec.mainClass="qrtool.QrTool"
```

Or build a JAR:

```bash
mvn clean package
java -jar target/qr-code-tool-t3-1.0.0.jar
```
