01 / FAILURE SIGNATURE
As the study recorded it
None
Not a benchmark task.
- The project already builds and runs before the fix, so there is nothing to repair.
02 / ENVIRONMENT RECIPE
- Base commit
Not freshly verified- Manifest
pom.xml- Reproduce
Awaiting issue-specific recipe- Run under trace
Awaiting a meaningful runtime command
03 / TASK AND FAILURE
codex/java-t1 #37 · read the task the agent was given
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: GZIP Compression Tool Write a program that compresses and decompresses files using the GZIP format with configurable compression levels, integrity verification, and streaming support for large files. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: - Accept a file path and mode (compress or decompress) as command-line arguments - Compress files using the DEFLATE algorithm wrapped in GZIP format (.gz extension) - Support configurable compression level via --level flag (1=fastest, 9=best compression; default: 6) - Decompress .gz files back to their original content, preserving the original filename stored in the GZIP header - Process files in streaming chunks to handle files larger than available memory, with configurable buffer size via --buffer flag (default: 64KB) - Display real-time progress during compression/decompression: percentage complete, current speed, and estimated time remaining - Verify file integrity after compression by checking CRC-32 checksums stored in the GZIP header via --verify flag - Support compressing multiple files via --batch flag (each file becomes a separate .gz file) - Preserve original file timestamps in the GZIP header and restore them during decompression - Support keeping or removing the original file via --keep flag (default: keep original) - Print compression summary: original size, compressed size, compression ratio, time taken, and throughput (MB/s) - Save operation log as JSON with --log flag - If no input is given, generate sample files of different types (text, CSV, JSON, binary with random data), compress each, compare compression ratios across file types, decompress, and verify integrity matches - Handle errors: corrupted GZIP files, truncated files, CRC mismatch, disk full, and unsupported GZIP extensions 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
