"""Canonical, compiled JavaScript regex patterns shared across JS extractors.

All suspicious-API patterns and the few feature-only patterns live here so each
expression is compiled exactly once per Python process and so any pattern that
was previously duplicated across `js_features.py` and `js_suspicious_apis.py`
now resolves to a single shared compiled object.

JavaScript is case-sensitive at runtime, but every suspicious-API pattern matches
either a literal-case identifier (`\\beval\\s*\\(`, `String\\.fromCharCode`, etc.)
or a string-quoted token (`"powershell"`). Compiling them with `re.IGNORECASE`
matches the historical behaviour of `JSSuspiciousAPIsExtractor` and is safe for
the patterns that historically came from `JSFeaturesExtractor` — those literals
are spelled in real-world JS exactly as written.

`scan_source()` is the entry point used by extractors: it walks the source once
per pattern using the pre-compiled regexes and returns a flat
`{name: {"count": N, "lines": [unique_line_numbers_sorted]}}` dict. Both
`JSFeaturesExtractor` and `JSSuspiciousAPIsExtractor` consume the same dict so
the per-pattern × per-line loops they used to run independently collapse to a
single shared scan.
