01 / FAILURE SIGNATURE
As the study recorded it
npm ELSPROBLEMS - fft.js@0.0.15 does not exist
Not a benchmark task.
- It was made to work, but its repair cannot be rebuilt from the saved files (the saved copy shows no change, or not all of the changes the study's notes describe), so there is no fix to score against.

03 / TASK AND FAILURE
gemini/javascript-t1 #44 · read the task the agent was given
Gemini Code Assist wrote this javascript project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written. Task given to the agent: TASK: FFT Spectrum Analyzer Write a program that performs Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) analysis on time-domain signal data, identifying dominant frequencies, computing power spectral density, and supporting windowing functions. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: - Accept a CSV file path as a command-line argument containing time-domain signal data (columns: time, amplitude) - Compute the FFT of the signal and extract the frequency spectrum (magnitude and phase) - Auto-detect the sampling rate from the time column, or accept it via --sample-rate flag - Identify dominant frequencies: find the top N peaks in the magnitude spectrum (--peaks flag, default: 5) and report their frequencies, magnitudes, and phases - Compute the Power Spectral Density (PSD) using Welch's method with configurable segment length via --segment flag - Support windowing functions selectable via --window flag: rectangular (none), Hamming, Hanning, Blackman, and Kaiser (with configurable beta via --beta flag) - Support inverse FFT via --inverse flag: reconstruct the time-domain signal from frequency-domain data - Support frequency filtering: apply low-pass, high-pass, or band-pass filters via --filter flag (e.g., --filter low:1000 for 1kHz low-pass) and output the filtered signal - Export the frequency spectrum data as CSV via --export flag - Print analysis summary to console: sampling rate, number of samples, frequency resolution, dominant frequencies with magnitudes, and total signal power - Save the full analysis as JSON with --output flag (default: fft_analysis.json) - If no input is given, generate a sample signal composed of three sine waves at known frequencies (100Hz, 250Hz, 800Hz) with added white noise, sampled at 4000Hz for 1 second, analyze it, and show that the FFT correctly identifies the three component frequencies - Handle errors: non-uniform sampling, insufficient data points, and signals with DC offset 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
