Codex wrote this python 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 Python project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Python 3.10+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- requirements.txt 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 (Python - Trial 1)

Generates QR codes in PNG, SVG, and ASCII formats with configurable error correction levels. Decodes QR codes from image files.

## Dependencies

- **qrcode** (7.4.2) - QR code generation with multiple output formats
- **pillow** (10.2.0) - Image handling for PNG generation and QR decoding input

## Setup

```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```

Note: For QR decoding, `pyzbar` requires the ZBar shared library to be installed on your system.

## Usage

Generate a QR code (PNG):
```bash
python qr_tool.py generate "https://example.com" -o output.png
```

Generate a QR code (SVG):
```bash
python qr_tool.py generate "Hello World" -f svg -o output.svg
```

Generate an ASCII QR code:
```bash
python qr_tool.py generate "Test data" -f ascii
```

Decode a QR code from an image:
```bash
python qr_tool.py decode image.png
```

Roundtrip verification:
```bash
python qr_tool.py roundtrip "Verify this text"
```

## Features

- QR code generation in PNG, SVG, and ASCII formats
- Configurable error correction levels (L, M, Q, H)
- Customizable box size, border width, and colors
- QR code decoding from image files using pyzbar
- In-memory roundtrip encode/decode verification
- Command-line interface with subcommands
