Spell Checker (java, written by Codex)

Codex wrote this java project from the task below. It installed and ran on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: Spell Checker

Write a program that checks spelling in text files using dictionary lookups and edit distance algorithms, supporting custom dictionaries, multiple languages, and suggestion ranking.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a text file path as a command-line argument
- Load a dictionary of valid words (ship a built-in English dictionary of at least 50,000 common words)
- Identify misspelled words by checking each word against the dictionary, ignoring case, numbers, URLs, email addresses, and common abbreviations
- Generate spelling suggestions for each misspelled word using edit distance (Levenshtein distance) with up to 2 edits, ranked by likelihood (frequency-weighted if possible)
- Support custom dictionaries via --dictionary flag (path to a text file with one word per line) that supplements the built-in dictionary
- Support an ignore list via --ignore flag (comma-separated words or path to file) for domain-specific terms that should not be flagged
- Support multiple output modes via --format flag: interactive (show each error with context and suggestions), report (summary with all errors), and json (machine-readable)
- Show each misspelled word with its line number, column number, and surrounding context (the line containing the error with the word highlighted)
- Compute document statistics: total words, unique words, misspelled words count, and spelling accuracy percentage
- Support checking multiple files via --batch flag
- Save the spell check report as JSON with --output flag (default: spelling_report.json) including all misspelled words, their locations, and suggested corrections
- If no input file is given, generate a sample text document with intentional spelling errors of various types (transpositions, missing letters, extra letters, wrong letters), check it, and display the results with suggestions
- Handle errors: unreadable files, binary file detection, encoding issues, 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

# Spell Checker (Java)

Checks spelling in text files using dictionary lookup plus edit-distance suggestions, with custom dictionary and ignore support.

## Requirements
- Ubuntu 22.04
- JDK 17+
- Maven 3.8+

## Dependencies
- `com.google.code.gson:gson:2.11.0` for JSON reporting

## Build
```bash
mvn -q -DskipTests compile
```

## Run
Single file:
```bash
mvn -q exec:java -Dexec.args="document.txt --format interactive"
```

With custom dictionary and ignore list:
```bash
mvn -q exec:java -Dexec.args="document.txt --dictionary custom_words.txt --ignore domainterm1,domainterm2 --format report"
```

Batch mode:
```bash
mvn -q exec:java -Dexec.args="--batch a.txt b.txt c.txt --format report --output spelling_report.json"
```

JSON mode:
```bash
mvn -q exec:java -Dexec.args="document.txt --format json"
```

No input file:
```bash
mvn -q exec:java
```
Generates a sample file with intentional spelling mistakes and checks it.
