"""Subprocess wrapper for the bundled js-x-ray Node bridge.

Mirrors `js_deobfuscator.py`: shell out to a Node script with a per-sample
timeout, kill the process group on hang, demote `FileNotFoundError` to debug
(missing tool is routine — the host either has Node + the bundled package
installed or it doesn't), and return a structured result on success.

The bridge lives at `redb/extractors/js_extractors/scripts/js-xray-runner.js`.
Operators install the JS dependency once with `npm install` in that directory
(or override the path with `JS_XRAY_RUNNER_PATH`).

Configuration (env vars):
    JS_XRAY_RUNNER_PATH   Path to the Node bridge script (default: bundled).
    JS_XRAY_TIMEOUT       Seconds before the subprocess is killed. Default: 30.

`run(source, log)` returns `XRayResult(obfuscator, warnings)` on a successful
analysis, or `XRayResult(None, [])` for any non-success path (binary missing,
timeout, parse failure, etc.). The two unsuccessful states are
indistinguishable to the caller on purpose — they all collapse to "no
js-x-ray verdict, fall back to heuristic".
