"""
YARA Extractor - Scans binary files with YARA rules and stores matches in ClickHouse.

This extractor uses the yara-x library to scan samples against a collection of
YARA rules located in the 'yara/' folder at the project root.

Supports both:
- Pre-compiled rules (.yarac) for faster loading
- Source rules (.yar/.yara) compiled on-the-fly

Schema Design:
- yara_rules: Rule metadata stored once per unique rule (deduplicated by rule_id)
- yara_matches: Sample-rule matches with binary sha256 for efficiency
