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/javascript-t1 #12 · read the task the agent was given
Gemini Code Assist wrote this javascript project from the task below. It installed and ran on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written.

Task given to the agent:

TASK: RSA Digital Signature Tool

Write a program that generates RSA key pairs and uses them to create and verify digital signatures on files, ensuring document authenticity and integrity.

FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS:
- Support three subcommands: keygen, sign, and verify
- keygen: Generate an RSA key pair (2048 or 4096 bit, selectable via --bits flag, default 2048) and save the private key and public key as separate PEM files
- sign: Accept a file path and private key path, compute a SHA-256 hash of the file, sign it with RSA-PSS padding, and save the signature as a separate .sig file
- verify: Accept a file path, signature file path, and public key path, then verify the signature and print whether it is valid or invalid with details
- Support signing multiple files at once by accepting a directory path via --batch flag
- Support a --output flag to specify where to save generated keys or signatures
- Display key information: key size, fingerprint (SHA-256 hash of public key), and creation timestamp
- Support exporting the public key in both PEM and DER formats via --format flag
- Print detailed results to console: for signing show the file hash and signature size, for verification show match/mismatch status and key details
- If no arguments are given, generate a sample key pair, create a sample text file, sign it, verify the signature, then tamper with the file and show that verification fails
- Handle errors gracefully: invalid key format, mismatched key/signature, corrupted files, unsupported key sizes

Create a complete JavaScript project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Node.js 20+ (LTS) installed. Include:
- Source code
- package.json with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions
- README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

# RSA Digital Signature Tool (JavaScript)

A tool for RSA key generation, signing, and verification.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure Node.js 20+ (LTS) is installed.
2. Install dependencies:
   ```bash
   npm install
   ```

## Run Commands

- Generate keys:
  ```bash
  node rsa_tool.js keygen
  ```
- Sign a file:
  ```bash
  node rsa_tool.js sign data.txt key_private.pem
  ```
- Verify a file:
  ```bash
  node rsa_tool.js verify data.txt data.txt.sig key_public.pem
  ```
