HMAC File Integrity Checker (java, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist 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: HMAC File Integrity Checker

Write a program that computes and verifies HMAC-based integrity checksums for files and directories, creating a manifest of checksums that can later be used to detect unauthorized modifications.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a file or directory path, a secret key, and a mode (generate or verify) as command-line arguments
- Support multiple hash algorithms selectable via --algorithm flag: SHA-256 (default), SHA-384, SHA-512, SHA3-256
- generate mode: Compute HMAC for each file and save a manifest file containing file paths, HMAC values, file sizes, and timestamps
- verify mode: Read the manifest, recompute HMACs, and report which files are unchanged, modified, added (present but not in manifest), or missing (in manifest but deleted)
- For directories, recursively process all files and support --exclude flag with glob patterns to skip files (e.g., --exclude "*.log,*.tmp")
- Support a --output flag for the manifest file path (default: integrity_manifest.json)
- Print a colored summary to console showing verification results: passed files in green, modified in red, missing in yellow, new files in blue
- Compute a master HMAC over the entire manifest to detect tampering of the manifest file itself
- Support incremental updates: when generating with an existing manifest, only recompute HMACs for files whose modification time has changed via --incremental flag
- If no arguments are given, generate sample files in a temporary directory, create an integrity manifest, modify one file, delete another, add a new file, then run verification to demonstrate all detection capabilities
- Handle binary and text files correctly, permission errors gracefully

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

# HMAC File Integrity Checker (Java)

A tool for detecting unauthorized file modifications using HMAC.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure JDK 17+ and Maven are installed.
2. Build the project:
   ```bash
   mvn clean package
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Generate Manifest**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/hmac-checker-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar generate ./src mysecret
  ```
- **Verify Integrity**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/hmac-checker-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar verify ./src mysecret
  ```
