+"""Per-mint JS obfuscator wrapper.
+
+Thin Python wrapper around the ``javascript-obfuscator`` Node package.
+Used by the fingerprint generators / instrumenters to produce a unique,
+hard-to-statically-analyse JS blob per canary mint.
+
+Two design choices flow from the canary contract in :mod:`base`:
+
+* **Determinism.** Generators must return byte-identical artifacts for
+  the same ``(callback_token, http_base, dns_zone, persona)``.  We
+  derive a numeric seed from the callback token and pass it to the
+  obfuscator's own ``seed`` option, and we derive the polymorphic
+  config bits from the same hash so a re-mint reproduces exactly.
+* **Per-mint uniqueness.** Two different callback tokens produce
+  structurally different output: different identifier names, different
+  string-array rotation, optionally different transforms enabled.
+
+The Node helper at ``_obfuscate_helper.js`` is invoked via subprocess.
+We pass code+options as JSON on stdin and read the obfuscated result
+from stdout.  Stderr surfaces obfuscator failures.

+"""Tests for :mod:`decnet.canary.obfuscator` — the per-mint JS obfuscator.
+
+Skipped when Node or the vendored ``javascript-obfuscator`` package is
+not available (CI without npm install, fresh checkouts).  When the
+toolchain is present we assert:
+
+* determinism — same callback_token → byte-identical output
+* per-mint uniqueness — different tokens → different output
+* the rendered fingerprint embeds the mint UUID and beacon URL
+  ahead of obfuscation, so the obfuscator's string-array transform
+  can absorb them
+* the output is non-empty and parses as JS via Node
