class JSExtractor(Extractor, metaclass=ABCMeta):
    """Base class for JavaScript file extractors.

    Every JSExtractor reads its raw materials (bytes / decoded source / line
    list / scan_source results / pyjsparser AST / text entropy) from a shared
    `JSContext`. When workers.py drives the JS pipeline it builds one context
    per sample and threads it into every extractor via `context=`. When tests
    or other callers instantiate an extractor directly, the constructor builds
    a fresh context from `(filepath, source=...)`.

    All historical instance attributes (`self.binary`, `self.js_source`,
    `self.lines`) and helpers (`self._decode_source`, `self._parse_ast`,
    `self._calculate_text_entropy`) are preserved as thin delegators so
    existing extractor code keeps working unchanged.
