01 / FAILURE SIGNATURE
As the study recorded it
No identifying execution failure has been captured.
Not a benchmark task.
- The project already builds and runs before the fix, so there is nothing to repair.
02 / ENVIRONMENT RECIPE
- Base commit
Not freshly verified- Manifest

Awaiting issue-specific recipe- Run under trace
Awaiting a meaningful runtime command
03 / TASK AND FAILURE
gemini/java-t1 #25 · read the task the agent was given
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: TCP Port Scanner Write a program that scans TCP ports on a target host to determine which ports are open, closed, or filtered, with support for service detection, concurrent scanning, and configurable scan ranges. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: - Accept a target hostname or IP address as a command-line argument - Scan a port range specified via --ports flag (e.g., --ports 1-1024, --ports 80,443,8080, or --ports 1-65535); default: well-known ports 1-1024 - Perform TCP connect scanning: attempt a full TCP handshake to determine if a port is open - Support concurrent scanning with configurable thread count via --threads flag (default: 100) to speed up large range scans - Implement configurable connection timeout via --timeout flag (default: 1 second per port) - Detect common services on open ports by matching port numbers to known services (HTTP/80, HTTPS/443, SSH/22, FTP/21, SMTP/25, DNS/53, etc.) using a built-in service name database - Attempt basic banner grabbing on open ports to identify the running service version via --banner flag - Support scanning multiple hosts via --hosts flag (comma-separated or CIDR notation for a subnet) - Print scan results to console in real-time as ports are discovered, with a final summary table showing: port number, state (open/closed/filtered), service name, and banner (if captured) - Save the full scan report as JSON with --output flag (default: scan_report.json) including scan duration, host info, and per-port results - If no target is given, scan localhost (127.0.0.1) on the common ports (21, 22, 25, 53, 80, 110, 143, 443, 993, 995, 3306, 5432, 6379, 8080, 8443) and display the results - Handle errors: unresolvable hostnames, network unreachable, connection refused vs timeout distinction, and permission issues 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

# TCP Port Scanner (Java) A multithreaded TCP port scanner using Java's `Socket` API. ## Setup Instructions 1. Ensure JDK 17+ and Maven are installed. 2. Build the project: ```bash mvn clean package ``` ## Run Commands - **Scan Host**: ```bash java -jar target/port-scanner-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar 127.0.0.1 ```
