"""Subprocess-driven JavaScript deobfuscator with jsbeautifier fallback.

Owns the heavy lifting that was previously embedded inside
`JSDeobfuscationExtractor` (`_run_deobfuscator` + `_try_jsbeautifier`). Exposed
as a single module-level entry point `deobfuscate(source, log)` so it can be
called from `JSContext.deobfuscated` (cached per sample) without dragging
extractor state through the call.

Configuration (env vars):
    JS_DEOBFUSCATOR_PATH    Path or name of the external tool (default: webcrack).
    JS_DEOBFUSCATE_TIMEOUT  Seconds before the external tool is killed
                            (process-group SIGTERM, then SIGKILL). Default: 60.

If the external tool produces non-empty output and exits 0, that wins. Otherwise
the source is run through jsbeautifier (which only normalises formatting, but
already exposes strings hidden by minification). If neither path produces
output, returns (None, None).

`FileNotFoundError` for the external tool is treated as routine — the analysis
server is either provisioned with the tool or it isn't — and demoted to a
debug-level log.
