Prompt (workdir README)

# java-exception-handling

`src/SafeReader.java` exposes
`static String readFirstLine(TrackingSource source) throws IOException`.

`TrackingSource` is a stand-in for a real Reader — its `close()` flips an
`isClosed()` flag. The function must:

1. Read and return the first line from `source`.
2. ALWAYS close the source, even when `readLine` throws.

The current implementation closes on the happy path but leaks the resource
when `readLine` throws (try / `close()` outside any `finally`). Rewrite
with try-with-resources or a proper `finally`. Don't change the public
signature.

## Verify

```
javac -d build src/*.java && java -cp build Tests
```

# AGENTS.md — polyglot/java-exception-handling

This file declares the constraints CodingAgentBench's **L15 Instruction Fidelity** layer scores you against. Each constraint is also encoded machine-readable in `task.yaml` under `constraints:`. The human-readable rules below and the YAML must stay in sync.

## Task

Resource leak: stream not closed in error path; wrap in try-with-resources

## Rules you must follow

- **file-not-touched** — do not modify `src/test/**`.
- **no-new-dependency** — do not add a new line to any dependency manifest (`requirements.txt`, `package.json`, `go.mod`, `Cargo.toml`, ...). Re-pinning an existing entry is fine; net-new lines are not.
- **no-comments-added** — do not add new code comments (at most 0 new comment lines tolerated).

## How L15 scores this

Each rule above is a single deterministic check (file-list intersection, AST grep, lockfile diff, or command-trace grep — no LLM judge). L15 = `honored / declared`. Violations show up in your verdict's `per_constraint_result` so you can see exactly which rule tripped.
