    The actual deobfuscation pass (external tool with jsbeautifier fallback)
    lives on `JSContext.deobfuscated` and is cached per sample, so any other
    extractor that needs the deobfuscated text reads the same value without
    re-running the subprocess. Configure the external tool via env vars:
        JS_DEOBFUSCATOR_PATH    Path or name (default: webcrack)
        JS_DEOBFUSCATE_TIMEOUT  Seconds (default: 60)
