GZIP Compression Tool (python, written by Gemini Code Assist)

Gemini Code Assist wrote this python 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 Python project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only Python 3.10+ installed. Include:
- Source code
- requirements.txt 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 (Python)

A streaming tool for GZIP compression and decompression with progress monitoring.

## Setup Instructions

1. Ensure Python 3.10+ is installed.
2. Create and activate a virtual environment:
   ```bash
   python -m venv venv
   source venv/bin/activate
   ```
3. Install dependencies:
   ```bash
   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ```

## Run Commands

- **Compress a file**:
  ```bash
  python gzip_tool.py compress data.csv --level 9
  ```
- **Decompress a file**:
  ```bash
  python gzip_tool.py decompress data.csv.gz
  ```
- **Run demonstration**:
  ```bash
  python gzip_tool.py
  ```

## Features
- **Streaming**: Handles large files using 64KB chunks (configurable).
- **Progress Bar**: Real-time feedback via `tqdm`.
- **Level Selection**: Optimize for speed (1) or size (9).
