+
+![An agent solving the task in Xournal++](media/hero.gif)
+
+**The real Xournal++ 1.2 handwriting notebook running on an Ubuntu 24.04 desktop, as an [agentenv](https://pypi.org/project/agentenv-framework/) computer environment. An agent completes the task only through screenshots, mouse and keyboard, and a verifier grades the saved files with no model.**
+
+Claude Code built this environment from a one-line request in about 18 minutes, with only REA's build skill and MCP tools; [How it was made](#how-it-was-made) has the request and the steps. Xournal++ opens a one-page notebook, `Documents/biology-notes.xopp`, at launch: a lined page with three typed notes, Cell Biology - Week 3, Mitochondria make ATP and Ribosomes build proteins. The agent has to add a text note that says "Quiz on Friday: bring a calculator" and save. It sees only the screen and acts only with the mouse and keyboard.
+
+## Watch
+
+- Agent runs (Claude Code with Claude Sonnet 5.5): [run 1](media/solve-1.mp4), [run 2](media/solve-2.mp4), [run 3](media/solve-3.mp4)
+- Witness, which proves the task can be done through the computer: [witness.mp4](media/witness.mp4)
+
+Each video is the computer's own screen recording at 10 frames per second.
+
+## The task
+
+> In Xournal++, add a text note that says "Quiz on Friday: bring a calculator" to the Cell Biology notebook page in Documents/biology-notes.xopp, and save it.
+
+`bundle/artifacts/add-quiz-note-check/verify.py` reads the app's files through the computer's `data/get` view and passes only if every check holds:
+
+| Check | Kind | File |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `note-text` | `text_contains` | `Documents/biology-notes.xopp` |
+| `one-new-note` | `member_count` | `Documents/biology-notes.xopp` |
+| `notes-kept` | `text_contains` | `Documents/biology-notes.xopp` |
+
+An `.xopp` file is gzip-compressed XML, and REA reads the XML inside. Each typed note is a `text` element in the page's layer. The checks read the layer: its text must contain "Quiz on Friday: bring a calculator" and, with the notes' text run together, still contain the three original notes in order, and the layer must hold exactly four text notes (`member_count`), so the new text has to be a note of its own rather than added to an existing one. REA's draft suggested a check on the page's preview image, which Xournal++ redraws on every save, and one on the layer's whole text; Claude Code discarded the first, split the second into the new-note and kept-notes checks, and added the count.
+
+## Results
+
+3 of 3 runs passed, about $0.56 per run.
+
+| Run | Outcome | Turns | Cost | Video |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| 1 | passed | 10 | $0.72 | [video](media/solve-1.mp4) |
+| 2 | passed | 10 | $0.49 | [video](media/solve-2.mp4) |
+| 3 | passed | 9 | $0.46 | [video](media/solve-3.mp4) |
+
+## Run it
+
+You need Docker. `agentenv-framework` builds the computer: Ubuntu 24.04 with the app installed from Ubuntu's archive (`xournalpp` 1.2.2, with `librsvg2-common`).
+
+```bash
+pip install agentenv-framework==0.9.1431
+hf download earakely-scale/XournalppFromRequestComputerEnv-REA --repo-type dataset --local-dir xournalpp-request
+agent-env run xournalpp-request/bundle --task add-quiz-note --agent claude-code --model <model>
+```
+
+The agent needs a model provider configured for agentenv. `--task smoke` only boots the computer, with no agent. `bundle/README.md` describes the bundle in detail.
+
+## How it was made
+
+Claude Code built this environment from a one-line request, given only [REA](https://github.com/morluto/rea)'s build skill and REA's MCP tools:
+
+> Build me a Xournal++ environment where the agent adds a text note to a small notebook page and saves it.
+
+It asked only the skill's upfront questions, wrote no app-specific scripts, and finished in about 18 minutes. The steps were REA's usual ones:
+
+1. **Capture.** REA launched Xournal++ on a Linux desktop and recorded its package, windows and opened files while the edit was made. It also recorded the app's state folders before and after.
+2. **Export.** REA turned the capture into an agentenv `computer_app`. It installs the app, seeds the starting files, starts the app, and waits for its main window. It also serves typed views of the app's files for verifiers.
+3. **Task.** The task's checks were validated against the capture: they fail on the starting state and pass on the captured end state.
+4. **Witness.** In a fresh computer, the note was added through computer actions alone, and the checks were read at four stages. They held on the first try:
+
+| Stage | Checks |
+| --- | --- |
+| `seed` | fail, as expected: the layer holds three notes, none of them the quiz note |
+| `after_edit` | pass |
+| `near_miss` | fail, as expected: the note was changed to "Quiz on Friday: bring a calculater" |
+| `after_reset` | fail, as expected: `data/reset` restored the seed |
+
+The agent runs came after the build: Claude Code with Claude Sonnet 5.5 (`--model anthropic/claude-sonnet-5-5 --no-emulate`, on an amd64 host) solved the task 3 times, each run recorded.
+
+## What's inside
+
+```
+bundle/      the agentenv bundle: envs/ (app module, seed files), tasks/, artifacts/ (verifier), evals/
+media/       witness and agent-run recordings (MP4) with short GIF previews
+results.json the runs above, with each check's result
+```
+
+## Limits
+
+- The checks expect the notebook to keep one page with one layer: a note added on a new page or in a new layer makes their pointers match two and fail.
+- The note must contain the sentence exactly as written, though words around it still pass; where it sits on the page is not checked.
+- The bundle installs `librsvg2-common`, the SVG image loader Xournal++'s icons need, beside the app as an extra package. The build asked for it up front.
+- The computer installs whatever `xournalpp` Ubuntu 24.04's archive holds at build time (1.2.2 for these runs); it is not pinned.
+- Three runs is a small sample: the solve rate shows the task is solvable, not how hard it is.
+
+## Licences
+
+The bundle code, the task and the synthetic seed files are Apache-2.0. Xournal++ itself is not included: the computer installs it from Ubuntu's archive (`xournalpp` 1.2.2, with `librsvg2-common`) at build time, under its own licence (GPL-2.0-or-later).

+Exported by REA's `export-desktop-application` from a capture of the `xournalpp` package
+(capture Evidence `ev_ae6b6473d4c3536078503ae95cc6b6ff3e22d29881d18f518b21b338a9e6142b`). It was checked against agentenv-framework
+0.9.1431.
+
+- `envs/xournalpp/` is a computer app on the `ubuntu-24.04` base with the `reference` driver, for
+  `amd64` and `arm64`. It installs `xournalpp` from the distribution archive, launches `sh -c cd "$HOME" 2>/dev/null; exec 'xournalpp' "$HOME"/'Documents/biology-notes.xopp'` at boot and is ready
+  when a window of class `Com.github.xournalpp.xournalpp` appears.
+- Installed beside the app because the export was asked for them with `--extra-package`, as a build computer asks
+  for the packages its request named: `librsvg2-common`.
+- At launch the app opens `~/Documents/biology-notes.xopp`, the seed's one document.
+- Owned paths: `~/.config/xournalpp`, `~/Documents`.
+  `data/get` returns their files and a typed JSON view of each; `data/reset` restores the seed.
+- Seed: 3 file(s) made for the task, as saved at checkpoint `seed`.
+  Text files and dconf keys spell the capture host's name as `localhost`, `user@host` as `user@localhost`
+  and the home as `/home/user`, which the computer respells to its own at boot.
+  Rewritten: `envs/xournalpp/seed/Documents/biology-notes.xopp`.
+- `tasks/smoke.json` deploys the app.
+
+Run the task with `agent-env run <this folder>`, or only the deploy with `--task smoke`.
+
+The seed was made for this task, not taken from a user's own data; read `envs/xournalpp/seed/` before publishing the bundle.
+
+## Task `add-quiz-note`
+
+`tasks/add-quiz-note.json` deploys the app, has the agent work through the computer from the prompt below, and grades
+the outcome with `artifacts/add-quiz-note-check/verify.py`, which reads the app's `data/get` views and needs
+no model. It grades once the app's files have held for 3 s, so a save the app makes on its own within that
+time of the agent stopping counts; each result's `settled` is false when they were still changing 15 s after the
+first read. `evals/xournalpp.toml` names it, so a run of the bundle runs it.
+
+> In Xournal++, add a text note that says "Quiz on Friday: bring a calculator" to the Cell Biology notebook page in Documents/biology-notes.xopp, and save it.
+
+Checks, each of which must pass:
+
+- `note-text`: `{"kind":"text_contains","file":"Documents/biology-notes.xopp","pointer":"/root/children/[name=page]/children/[name=layer]","value":"Quiz on Friday: bring a calculator"}`
+- `one-new-note`: `{"kind":"member_count","file":"Documents/biology-notes.xopp","pointer":"/root/children/[name=page]/children/[name=layer]/children","matching":"[name=text]","equals":4}`
+- `notes-kept`: `{"kind":"text_contains","file":"Documents/biology-notes.xopp","pointer":"/root/children/[name=page]/children/[name=layer]","value":"Cell Biology - Week 3Mitochondria make ATPRibosomes build proteins"}`
+
+REA kept the task because its checks fail on the seed (`note-text`, `one-new-note`) and all
+pass on the captured end state.
+
+To measure a solve rate, run the task k times (3 by default) with the agent and model to measure, and count the runs
+whose summary line says `passed`; a run that says `failed` did not finish and is run again rather than counted:
+
+    agent-env run <this folder> --task add-quiz-note --agent claude-code --model MODEL
