// Bridge between the Python JS pipeline and @nodesecure/js-x-ray.
//
// Usage: node js-xray-runner.js <path-to-js-file>
//   stdout  one JSON object: {"obfuscator": <name|null>, "warnings": [...]}
//   stderr  human-readable error on failure
//   exit 0  analysis ran (the file may still be benign — see "obfuscator")
//   exit 1  the file could not be read or analysed
//
// Each warning is emitted as {kind, value} so the Python side can tag
// supporting signals (encoded-literal, short-identifiers, suspicious-literal,
// unsafe-stmt) without having to mirror js-x-ray's whole schema.
//
// js-x-ray ≥7 ships as an ES module, which CommonJS `require()` cannot load
// from a `.js` script — the dynamic `import()` below is what makes the
// bridge work without renaming the file to `.mjs` or adding `"type":
// "module"` to package.json (which would break tools that still
// `require()` from this directory).
