"""Per-sample shared state for the JavaScript extractor pipeline.

A `JSContext` is built exactly once per JS sample (in `workers.py`) and threaded
into every extractor that runs against that sample. It owns the disk read, the
decoded source text, the line-split cache, the Shannon text-entropy figure, the
shared `scan_source()` results, and the pyjsparser AST. Each of those is
computed lazily through `cached_property` so an extractor that doesn't need a
particular artefact does not pay for it.

Without this object, every JS extractor instance redoes the same disk read,
decode, scan, and (for any consumer) AST parse. With it, every extractor
shares one set of results.

`JSExtractor.__init__` accepts the context via a `context=` kwarg; if absent
(e.g. unit tests instantiating an extractor directly with `source=...`) it
builds a fresh context from the constructor arguments. Either path produces a
fully-populated context, so extractor code can always rely on
`self._context.scan` / `self._context.ast` / etc.
