As the study recorded it

No identifying execution failure has been captured.
Not a benchmark task.

03 / TASK AND FAILURE

codex/javascript-t1 #45 · read the task the agent was given
Codex wrote this javascript project from the task below. It installed and ran on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: Numerical Integration Calculator

Write a program that computes definite integrals of mathematical functions using multiple numerical methods, comparing accuracy and convergence across methods.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a mathematical expression as a command-line argument via --function flag (e.g., --function "sin(x)*exp(-x)")
- Accept integration bounds via --lower and --upper flags
- Support multiple numerical integration methods selectable via --method flag: trapezoidal rule, Simpson's rule, Simpson's 3/8 rule, Gaussian quadrature, and Romberg integration
- Support a configurable number of subintervals via --intervals flag (default: 1000) for methods that use subdivision
- Run all methods and compare results via --compare flag, showing each method's result, estimated error, and computation time
- Support adaptive integration: automatically refine the interval count until the result converges within a specified tolerance via --tolerance flag (default: 1e-10)
- Parse mathematical expressions supporting: basic operators (+, -, *, /, ^), standard functions (sin, cos, tan, exp, log, sqrt, abs), constants (pi, e), and nested parentheses
- Support improper integrals with infinite bounds via --infinite flag using appropriate limit-based techniques
- Support tabulated data integration: read (x, y) pairs from a CSV file via --data flag and integrate using the available methods
- Print results to console: integral value, estimated error, method used, intervals used, and computation time
- Save results as JSON with --output flag (default: integration_result.json)
- If no input is given, compute several well-known integrals (integral of sin(x) from 0 to pi = 2, integral of exp(-x^2) from 0 to infinity = sqrt(pi)/2, integral of 1/x from 1 to e = 1) using all methods and display a comparison table with exact vs computed values and relative errors
- Handle errors: division by zero within the integration range, non-convergent integrals, invalid mathematical expressions, and bounds where lower > upper

Create a complete JavaScript project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Node.js 20+ (LTS) installed. Include:
- Source code
- package.json with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output
