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.

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: GZIP Compression Tool

Write a program that compresses and decompresses files using the GZIP format with configurable compression levels, integrity verification, and streaming support for large files.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Accept a file path and mode (compress or decompress) as command-line arguments
- Compress files using the DEFLATE algorithm wrapped in GZIP format (.gz extension)
- Support configurable compression level via --level flag (1=fastest, 9=best compression; default: 6)
- Decompress .gz files back to their original content, preserving the original filename stored in the GZIP header
- Process files in streaming chunks to handle files larger than available memory, with configurable buffer size via --buffer flag (default: 64KB)
- Display real-time progress during compression/decompression: percentage complete, current speed, and estimated time remaining
- Verify file integrity after compression by checking CRC-32 checksums stored in the GZIP header via --verify flag
- Support compressing multiple files via --batch flag (each file becomes a separate .gz file)
- Preserve original file timestamps in the GZIP header and restore them during decompression
- Support keeping or removing the original file via --keep flag (default: keep original)
- Print compression summary: original size, compressed size, compression ratio, time taken, and throughput (MB/s)
- Save operation log as JSON with --log flag
- If no input is given, generate sample files of different types (text, CSV, JSON, binary with random data), compress each, compare compression ratios across file types, decompress, and verify integrity matches
- Handle errors: corrupted GZIP files, truncated files, CRC mismatch, disk full, and unsupported GZIP extensions

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

# GZIP Compression Tool (Java)

A GZIP compression and decompression tool using Java's built-in `GZIPOutputStream` and `GZIPInputStream`.

## Setup Instructions

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

## Run Commands

- **Compress a file**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/gzip-tool-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar compress data.txt
  ```
- **Decompress a file**:
  ```bash
  java -jar target/gzip-tool-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar decompress data.txt.gz
  ```
