Yes. jsoup runs. Argusic installed and launched it on a clean machine in 2 minutes, hitting 0 errors on the way, and recorded the session.

How did Argusic test jsoup?

On a fresh, disposable machine, with every command recorded and the repository pinned at commit 37aea4990297. 2 attempts are recorded, and the full method is on the methodology page.

What did it cost to test jsoup?

The run that produced this verdict cost $0.01: real compute and model cost, not a list price per million tokens. It is recorded on that run's page.

How long does jsoup take to install?

1.5 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 jsoup need a GPU?

Not to start. Argusic reached a running state on a machine with no GPU.

What goes wrong when installing jsoup?

Nothing did, in the recorded run: zero errors between clone and running.

Where is the evidence for jsoup?

All 2 recorded runs are on this page, each linking to its full log and terminal recording, stored with a sha256 fingerprint so it cannot be quietly altered.

jsoup

jsoup: the Java HTML parser, built for HTML editing, cleaning, scraping, and XSS safety.

Runssource: GitHub homepageJavaMITcommit 37aea4990297

Java, MIT licensed. The project labels itself: css, css selectors, dom, html, java, java html parser, jsoup and parser.

jsoup runs. An Argusic agent installed it in 1.5 minutes and hit no errors on a clean machine with no GPU, and the whole session was recorded.

jsoup compiles from source with JDK 21 and Apache Maven, all 2,341 unit tests pass, and the built JAR correctly parses HTML and extracts DOM content.
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 60 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.

Install time: 2 minutes
Cold machine to finish: 2 minutes
Errors hit and fixed: 0 hit, 0 fixed with no human help
How the result was proved: mvn test exited 0, 2341 passed; mvn package produced jsoup-1.24.1-SNAPSHOT.jar; java -cp the jar TestJsoup printed Title: Test, Body text: Hello World, P text: Hello World
Model tokens used: 96,112
Exact commit tested: 37aea4990297
Container image: sha256:cdd920bce783

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

The end of the recording

The last lines of the terminal session that decided this verdict, exactly as they were recorded.

        System.out.println(\"P text: \" + doc.selectFirst(\"p\").text());
    }
}

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

Reached a running state on a clean machine, with the session recorded.
Installed in 1.5 minutes.
Nothing broke on the way: zero errors between clone and running.
Ran without a GPU, so it does not need one to start.
Licensed MIT, as reported by its host.
Measured 2 times, so the result is not a one-off.

What it is a reasonable choice for

Trying it on a laptop or a small server: it reached a running state without a GPU.
A quick evaluation: it was running 1.5 minutes after the clone.
Following its own README: the documented path worked with nothing to fix.

Also tested, in the same area

Every one of these was installed and run by Argusic on a clean machine. Nothing appears here that was not tested.
