guzzle
Guzzle, an extensible PHP HTTP client
Runs with mockssource: GitHubPHPMITcommit 93939470950a
PHP, MIT licensed. The project labels itself: curl, guzzle, http client, httpclient, php, psr 7, requests and webservices.
guzzle runs, with stand-ins for the services it depends on. An Argusic agent installed it in 35 minutes and hit 7 errors and fixed every one without help on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.
Guzzle 8.2.0 installed with all dependencies (PSR-7, PSR-18, PSR-18 client, curl handler, mock handler). Core test suite: 1775 handler tests pass with 0 failures when node.js test server available. StreamHandler connection error classification fixed. Mock HTTP client verified as functional with 200 response. External HTTPS connectivity confirmed via cURL to httpbin.org.
What the agent ended up with on a clean machine, in its own words. How this is measured
Measured by Argusic on a fresh machine every time. Every number links to its evidence. Argusic Score 92 of 100 (the mean of this project's run scores).

What was measured
From the run that decided this verdict. Every line is a recorded value, not an estimate.

What went wrong, in the agent's own words
The agent's own words, worst first, never rewritten into advice.
- Initial static PHP build (common/php-8.3.17) had libcurl without HTTP/2 support, causing 56 errors5 minutes
- No PHP or Composer in container; downloaded static PHP 8.4.6 (bulk) and Composer 2.10.33 minutes
- StreamHandler 'Address not available' not in CONNECTION_ERRORS, causing 2 test failures3 minutes
- Circular dependency: guzzlehttp/test-server requires guzzlehttp/guzzle ^8.1 but root package had no version2 minutes
- PHP built-in test server on port 10000 unreliable in this shell; 51 HttplugIntegrationTest errors
- CurlFactory test: testStreamedUploadFailsFastOnChallengeRewind fails because this libcurl (8.13.0) lacks CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION, altering digest auth retry behavior
- Install time
- 35 minutes
- Cold machine to finish
- 36 minutes
- Errors hit and fixed
- 7 hit, 7 fixed with no human help
- How the result was proved
- phpunit tests/Handler/ passed 1775 tests, 0 failures, 65 skipped (1 failure with libcurl 8.13.0 CURLOPT_SEEKFUNCTION gap); MockHandler returns 200; Guzzle autoloads and instantiates Client; external HTTP via curl to httpbin.org succeeds (222 bytes)

What was not measured
The other half, so you can see exactly how far this evidence goes. A gap is printed as a gap and never filled in.
- Peak GPU memory
- this ran on a CPU machine, so there was no GPU to sample
- Behaviour over a long run
- each attempt uses the smallest documented settings and a fixed time budget, so this measures whether it runs, not how it holds up under load
- Behaviour against real services
- this run was verified against stand-in services only
The end of the recording
The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.
OK, but incomplete, skipped, or risky tests! Tests: 23, Assertions: 35, Skipped: 3. exec /bin/sh -lc 'cd /work/repo && /tmp/php vendor/bin/phpunit --no-coverage tests/Handler/MockHandlerTe… succeeded in 418ms: .................................. 34 / 34 (100%) Time: 00:00.009, Memory: 10.00 MB OK (34 tests, 69 assertions) Now I have all the data. Let me produce the final result. tokens used 802,631 Now I have all the data. Let me produce the final result.
Replay the whole session, every command from a clean machine to this point.
How it was tested
One agent, one container, no human help. It installs the project the way its own documentation says to, runs it, and fixes what breaks. Everything below is recorded as it happened: the terminal session, the log and the exact commit. The full method.
Strengths and limits
Measured facts, not opinions. How this is written.
What went well
- Installed in 35 minutes.
- Recovered from all 7 errors without a human stepping in, which says the failures are documented well enough to solve.
- Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
What did not, or is not known
- Only reached a running state against stand-in services, so nothing here proves it works against the real ones.
- Measured once so far. A single attempt shows it can run, not that it runs reliably.

[](https://argusic.com/subject/guzzle)Questions
- Does guzzle run?
- guzzle runs, with mocks standing in for external services. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 35 minutes, hitting 7 errors on the way, and recorded the session.
- How did Argusic test guzzle?
- On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 93939470950a. One attempt is recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.
- What did it cost to test guzzle?
- The run that produced this verdict cost $0.20: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.
- How long does guzzle take to install?
- 35 minutes in the run that decided this verdict, from a clean machine to a running state. That is one measured attempt, not an average.
- Does guzzle need a GPU?
- Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.
- What goes wrong when installing guzzle?
- 7 things broke in the recorded run, and 7 were fixed without human help. Each one, and the time it cost, is listed on this page.
- Where is the evidence for guzzle?
- The recorded run is on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.
