# Install Node.js 22 LTS (needed by webcrack and @nodesecure/js-x-ray). Pinning
# to 22.x because that's the active LTS — bumping to a future major is a

# webcrack is the deobfuscator (CLI on PATH). Pinned to 2.16.0 — released
# 2026-04-25, last verified working with our subprocess invocation. Bumping
# this is a deliberate change so a future regression in webcrack does not
# show up as a silent JSDeobfuscation behaviour shift on image rebuild.

# Install @nodesecure/js-x-ray locally next to its bundled Node bridge so the
# Python wrapper's `node_modules/@nodesecure/js-x-ray` existence check passes
# without any runtime configuration. Version is pinned in the package.json.
# The npm install also triggers the `postinstall: patch-package` hook which
# re-applies the local patch in scripts/patches/ — currently a one-line fix
# for a `from "repl"` → `from "module"` import in [email protected] that breaks
# on Node 22 patches above ~22.10. Drop the patch when js-x-ray ships a fix.
