Task given to the agent:

TASK: Bcrypt Password Hasher

Write a program that hashes and verifies passwords using the bcrypt algorithm with configurable work factors, supporting bulk operations, migration from weaker hashing schemes, and password policy enforcement.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Support subcommands: hash (hash a password), verify (check a password against a hash), benchmark (test hashing speed at different work factors), and migrate (rehash from MD5/SHA-256 to bcrypt)
- hash: Accept a password via command-line argument or stdin, hash it with bcrypt, and print the resulting hash string
- verify: Accept a password and a bcrypt hash string, verify the match, and print whether it is valid or invalid
- Support a configurable work factor (cost parameter) via --cost flag (default 12, range 4-31)
- benchmark: Measure and display the time to hash a password at each work factor from 8 to the specified maximum, helping users choose an appropriate cost
- migrate: Read a CSV file with columns (username, old_hash, hash_type), verify that the old hash matches a provided password, then rehash with bcrypt and output the updated CSV
- Support batch hashing via --file flag: read one password per line, hash each, and output as a CSV with columns (line_number, hash)
- Generate a cryptographically secure random salt for each hash operation (built into bcrypt)
- Print detailed output: the hash, work factor used, estimated time per hash, and the bcrypt version identifier ($2b$)
- Save results to a file via --output flag (default: print to console only)
- If no arguments are given, demonstrate hashing a sample password at three different work factors (10, 12, 14), verify each hash, show a failed verification with a wrong password, and run a mini benchmark
- Handle errors: invalid cost factors, malformed hash strings, empty passwords, and unsupported hash types in migration

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

# Bcrypt Password Hasher (Java)

A tool for hashing and verifying passwords using the bcrypt algorithm.

## Setup Instructions

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

## Run Commands

- **Hash Password**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/bcrypt-tool-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar hash mypassword 12
  ```
- **Verify Password**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/bcrypt-tool-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar verify mypassword <hash_string>
  ```
- **Run Demo**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/bcrypt-tool-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar
  ```

            System.out.println("Running Demo...");
            String pwd = "mypassword";
            String hash = BCrypt.hashpw(pwd, BCrypt.gensalt(12));
            System.out.println("Password: " + pwd);
            System.out.println("Hash:     " + hash);
            System.out.println("Verify:   " + (BCrypt.checkpw(pwd, hash) ? "VALID" : "INVALID"));
            return;
        }

        String command = args[0];
        String val1 = args[1];

        if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("hash")) {
            int rounds = 12;
            if (args.length > 2) {

            }
            System.out.println(BCrypt.hashpw(val1, BCrypt.gensalt(rounds)));
        } else if (command.equalsIgnoreCase("verify")) {
            if (args.length < 3) {
                System.out.println("Error: Provide hash to verify.");
