"""
Unit test configuration.

Replaces the redb.extractors package with a minimal stub so that
``from redb.extractors.database_exporters import ...`` works without
pulling in the heavy __init__.py import chain (pefile, elftools,
signify, magic, etc.).

Also stubs out redb.settings so that Elasticsearch / ClickHouse
clients are never actually created during unit tests.

Additionally installs binaryninja stubs for decompiler unit tests.

Stubs heavy third-party packages (pefile, magic, psutil, etc.) so that
redb.workers, redb.queries, redb.ingestor, and redb.s3_utils can all
be imported and patched in unit tests without requiring the real packages.
