Summary

Exact prompt

# Task: migrate a small Node.js codebase from callbacks to async/await `lib/store.js`, `lib/inventory.js`, `lib/orders.js` use Node-style callbacks. Convert ALL three to promise-returning `async` functions (same function names and arguments minus the callback; results become resolved values, errors become rejections with the same messages). Keep behaviour identical, including order rollback on failure. While you're there, fix this reported bug: `removeStock` accepts zero/negative/NaN quantities; it must reject with the same message as `addStock` ("qty must be positive") and not change stock. Update `test/` to the new API and add tests. Run `npm test` (node --test). No new dependencies, no network.

Hidden node:test suite checks every API became promise-based, error messages preserved, rollback semantics kept, and the qty bug fixed. Partial migrations or rollback regressions fail. Original benchmark task written for usecaserank.com (not based on a specific public post). Headless, offline run on a reproducible fixture. Each run's notes say how its cost was measured (estimates are marked).

Success criteria: 1. Hidden node:test file is copied into test/ and `node --test test/` must exit 0 (60 s timeout); the agent's own tests in test/ must also pass. 2. Hidden tests check: store/inventory/orders functions return promises with the same results; errors become rejections with the original messages; addStock rejects 0/NaN; removeStock rejects zero/negative quantities with 'qty must be positive' and leaves stock unchanged; insufficient stock rejects without changes; listStock correct; fulfil succeeds and on failure rolls back already-removed lines. 3. No callback usage left in lib/*.js (no `cb(` / `callback(`) and each file uses async or Promise.

Setup notes: Use Case Scout batch 4 case d01-js-callbacks-to-async (offline fixture). Prepared with batch4/prepare.sh; hidden key/tests kept outside the agent's work dir. Prompt = TASK.md verbatim. Scored with the scout's scorer: `bash score.sh WORKDIR`. Tools: Read/Write/Edit/Glob/Grep/Bash, web disabled. Single run, no retries. Claude Code's own reported cost for claude-sonnet-5.5: $0.07193. Score: pass. Cost is an ESTIMATE: measured tokens x pricing.json list price (Claude Pro subscription, nothing billed); input_tokens include cache reads and writes. Single run.

Estimated cost List-price estimate; not actually billed.

Reproduce this run

  1. Use the use case prompt on the use case page.
  2. Same setup: Claude Sonnet 5.5 (anthropic/claude-sonnet-5.5, effort default (no --effort flag) · thinking on) via Claude Code 2.1.299 (headless -p), cloud.
  3. It counts as a success only if it meets every success criterion: 1. Hidden node:test file is copied into test/ and `node --test test/` must exit 0 (60 s timeout); the agent's own tests in test/ must also pass. 2. Hidden tests check: store/inventory/orders functions return promises with the same results; errors become rejections with the original messages; addStock rejects 0/NaN; removeStock rejects zero/negative quantities with 'qty must be positive' and leaves stock unchanged; insufficient stock rejects without changes; listStock correct; fulfil succeeds and on failure rolls back already-removed lines. 3. No callback usage left in lib/*.js (no `cb(` / `callback(`) and each file uses async or Promise.
  4. Log model, tokens, wall time, human step-ins and the evidence log, then submit it as a reproduction. A different model? Submit a head-to-head rerun.

Results are now resolved values, and errors are rejections with the same messages.\n- **`removeStock` bug:** it now rejects with \"qty must be positive\" for zero, negative or NaN quantities, before it reads or writes any stock.\n- **Rollback in `fulfil`:** lines are removed one after another. On a failure, the lines already removed are added back in the same order as before. The result is still `{ status: 'rejected', reason }`. As in the original, errors during rollback are ignored.\n- **Order with a zero-quantity line:** because of the `removeStock` fix, an order containing a line with qty 0 or less is now rejected with \"qty must be positive\" and rolled back. Previously such a line was accepted. This follows from the fix you asked for.\n- **`listStock` fetch order:** it now fetches all values at once instead of one by one. The result is the same.\n\nI replaced the old callback test in `test/basic.test.js` with promise-based tests. They cover the store, `addStock` and `removeStock` validation, `listStock`, a successful order, rollback on insufficient stock, and rollback on an invalid-quantity line. I added no dependencies.",
