01 / FAILURE SIGNATURE

As the study recorded it

missing terminating quote - broken string literal
Not a benchmark task.
  • Its repair changed source code, so it is not an environment task.

03 / TASK AND FAILURE

gemini/cpp-t1 #14 · read the task the agent was given
Gemini Code Assist wrote this cpp project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: TOTP Generator

Write a program that generates and validates Time-based One-Time Passwords (TOTP) compatible with RFC 6238, supporting secret key management, QR code URI generation, and multi-account storage.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Support subcommands: generate (create a new TOTP secret), code (show current OTP code), verify (check if a code is valid), and list (show all stored accounts)
- generate: Create a cryptographically random base32-encoded secret key of configurable length (--length flag, default 20 bytes)
- code: Display the current 6-digit TOTP code for a given account, with a countdown timer showing seconds until the code expires (30-second default period)
- verify: Accept a 6-digit code and check if it matches the current or adjacent time windows (configurable drift tolerance via --drift flag, default 1 window)
- Support configurable TOTP parameters: digit count (6 or 8), time period (30 or 60 seconds), and hash algorithm (SHA-1, SHA-256, SHA-512)
- Generate otpauth:// URIs compatible with authenticator apps (Google Authenticator, Authy)
- Store account secrets in an encrypted local JSON file using a master password
- Support multiple accounts with labels (--account flag with issuer:username format)
- Print the current code, remaining seconds, and next code to console
- If no arguments are given, generate a demo account with a random secret, display the current code and the otpauth:// URI, verify the current code, then show what happens with an incorrect code
- Handle errors: invalid base32 secrets, expired codes, duplicate account names, wrong master password

Create a complete C++ project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only G++ 12+ and CMake 3.22+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- CMakeLists.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

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure G++ 12+, CMake 3.22+, and OpenSSL are installed.
2. Build the project:
   ```bash
   mkdir build && cd build
   cmake ..
   make
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Run Demo**:
  ```bash
  ./totp_tool
  ```
