"""The Joern subprocess seam — the single place this codebase touches a CPG engine (Req 4.1, 4.4, 4.5).
Joern is JVM/Scala. Everything crosses one subprocess boundary: ``joern-parse`` builds a ``cpg.bin`` from a
source tree, then ``joern --script`` runs a CPGQL script that prints a JSON payload. Nothing is imported
in-process, so the core install keeps ``dependencies = []`` and an absent engine costs a recorded reason
rather than a traceback.
Two rules hold everywhere below:
* **Fail closed.** A build or query that errors, times out, or prints something unparseable yields *no*
verdict. The model layer then reports ``suspicion``. A wrong verdict is worse than no verdict — that is the
whole reason this arbiter exists.
* **Fence the payload.** Joern prints a banner, compilation notices and a REPL prompt on stdout. The script
brackets its JSON between markers so parsing can never swallow the noise around it.
We do not build a control-flow or dataflow engine here (Req 4.4): the CFG, PDG and call graph our flat IR
lacks are exactly what is being adopted.
