FFT Spectrum Analyzer (cpp, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist wrote this cpp project from the task below. It installed and ran on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: FFT Spectrum Analyzer

Write a program that performs Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis on time-domain signal data, identifying dominant frequencies, computing power spectral density, and supporting windowing functions.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a CSV file path as a command-line argument containing time-domain signal data (columns: time, amplitude)
- Compute the FFT of the signal and extract the frequency spectrum (magnitude and phase)
- Auto-detect the sampling rate from the time column, or accept it via --sample-rate flag
- Identify dominant frequencies: find the top N peaks in the magnitude spectrum (--peaks flag, default: 5) and report their frequencies, magnitudes, and phases
- Compute the Power Spectral Density (PSD) using Welch's method with configurable segment length via --segment flag
- Support windowing functions selectable via --window flag: rectangular (none), Hamming, Hanning, Blackman, and Kaiser (with configurable beta via --beta flag)
- Support inverse FFT via --inverse flag: reconstruct the time-domain signal from frequency-domain data
- Support frequency filtering: apply low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filters via --filter flag (e.g., --filter low:1000 for 1kHz low-pass) and output the filtered signal
- Export the frequency spectrum data as CSV via --export flag
- Print analysis summary to console: sampling rate, number of samples, frequency resolution, dominant frequencies with magnitudes, and total signal power
- Save the full analysis as JSON with --output flag (default: fft_analysis.json)
- If no input is given, generate a sample signal composed of three sine waves at known frequencies (100Hz, 250Hz, 800Hz) with added white noise, sampled at 4000Hz for 1 second, analyze it, and show that the FFT correctly identifies the three component frequencies
- Handle errors: non-uniform sampling, insufficient data points, and signals with DC offset

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
